DTC Descriptor
DTC P0969
- Pressure Control Solenoid 3 System Performance

DTC P0970
- Pressure Control Solenoid 3 Control Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0971
- Pressure Control Solenoid 3 Control Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The transmission control module (TCM) supplies 12 volts to the clutch pressure control solenoid 3 on the high side driver 1 circuit. The transmission control module controls the clutch pressure control solenoid 3 through the clutch pressure control solenoid 3 control circuit. The normally high clutch pressure control solenoid 3 controls fluid to the variable low and 1-2 reverse clutch when commanded ON and exhausts fluid when commanded OFF. The clutch pressure control solenoid 3 regulates the transmission fluid pressure to the variable low and 1-2 reverse clutch. The clutch pressure control solenoid 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Propulsion system is active.
* The system voltage is 11-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0969

Circuit/System Verification

1. Vehicle ON, verify the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).
2. Drive the vehicle in order to obtain dual motor or dual motor and ICE mode, observe the scan tool Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 3 Performance Test Status parameters. The reading should display OK.

• If the reading is not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
