DTC Descriptors

DTC P0751
- Shift Solenoid 1 Valve Performance - Stuck Off

DTC P0752
- Shift Solenoid 1 Valve Performance - Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

Shift solenoid valve 1 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. The solenoid operates by the transmission control module (TCM) turning the low side driver ON or OFF. When the shift solenoid valve 1 is commanded OFF, the plunger forces the metering ball against the actuator feed limit seat, blocking the flow and any existing pressure is exhausted through the exhaust port. When the shift solenoid valve 1 is commanded ON, the internal plunger moves, allowing the metering valve to move away from the actuator feed limit seat and against the exhaust seat, creating signal fluid pressure. The signal fluid pressure acts against the clutch select valve 2 to overcome the valve spring force, moving the valve to the apply position. Fluid pressure from the R1/4-5-6 regulator valve flows through clutch select valve 2 and is directed to either the low and reverse clutch or the 4-5-6 clutch, depending on the position of clutch select valve 2.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0751

* Commanded gear is 1st.

* TCM detects gear ratio 1.37-1.52.

* Gearbox slip is 400 RPM or greater for 2 s.

* Conditions listed above have to occur 8 times.

P0752

* Commanded gear is 3rd.

* Transmission has achieved 1st or 2nd.

* Gear slip is 400 RPM or greater for 1.5 s.

* TCM commands 4th gear if above conditions exist and detects a gear ratio of 4.35-4.81 for 1.5 s.

* Conditions listed above have to occur 5 times.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0751

* P0751 is a type B DTC.

* TCM inhibits 1st gear.

* TCM inhibits Neutral idle.

P0752

* P0752 is a type A DTC.

* TCM limits the transmission to 2nd range and reverse.

* TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.

* TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

* TCM disables neutral idle.

* TCM freezes adapts.

* TCM commands maximum line pressure.

* TCM commands 2nd gear if transmission is in a forward range and the output speed is less than 1,350 RPM, or neutral if the output speed is 1,350 RPM or greater.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* P0751 is a type B DTC.

* P0752 is a type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Before performing a road test, configure and setup the scan tool for snapshot mode. This allows you to display, monitor, and verify multiple transmission data parameters at one time, after the road test.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: If other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first.

1. Ignition ON, engine OFF.

2. Verify no other TCM DTCs are set using a scan tool.

If another DTC is set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

If no other DTCs are set

3. Engine idling at the normal operating temperature, transmission in Park, with parking brake applied and drive wheels chocked.

4. Verify the transmission fluid level and condition is correct. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check Testing and Inspection.

If the transmission fluid level and condition is not correct
Repair as necessary.

If the transmission fluid level and condition is correct

5. Ignition ON, clear the TCM DTCs with a scan tool.

6. From a stop, accelerate to 72 km/h (45 mph) with the throttle position greater than 15%. Perform this test 8 times.

7. Verify DTC P0751 or P0752 did not set.

If DTC P0751 or P0752 sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If DTC P0751 or P0752 does not set

8. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

9. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If the DTC does not set

10. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

1. Engine idling at the normal operating temperature.

2. Verify the transmission line pressures are within the specified range. Refer to Line Pressure Check Line Pressure Check and Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 1) Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 1)Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 2) Solenoid Valve Pressure (Gen 2).

If the pressures are not within range
Refer to Fluid Pressure High or Low Fluid Pressure High or Low.

If the pressures are within range

3. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

4. Verify the pressure changes for all solenoids when performing the solenoid test. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test.

If the pressure does not change
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

If the pressure changes

5. Verify the mechanical conditions listed below do not exist. Repair or replace as necessary.
