DTC Descriptor

DTC P0976

-
Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P0977

-
Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Control Circuit High Voltage

Diagnostic Fault Information






Circuit/System Description

The control solenoid valve assembly supplies 12 volts to shift solenoid 2 on the high side driver 1 circuit. The control solenoid valve assembly controls the normally closed shift solenoid 2 on the shift solenoid 2 control circuit. The shift solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The propulsion system is active.

* The system voltage is 11-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0976

The transmission control module detects an internal low voltage electrical malfunction of the shift solenoid 2 control circuit for 1 second.

P0977

The transmission control module detects an internal high voltage electrical malfunction of the shift solenoid 2 control circuit for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0976 and P0977 are Type A DTCs.

* P0976 Inhibit motor 2 cooling and dual motor modes P0977 generator function will not be available, inhibit motor 2 cooling and single motor modes.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0976 and P0977 are Type A DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

This fault may cause transmission overtemperature DTCs to set.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Vehicle ON, verify the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).

2. Drive the vehicle, observe the scan tool Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Test Status parameters. The reading should display OK.

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