DTC Descriptor

DTC P0752:  Shift Solenoid (SS) 1 Valve Performance - Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

The shift solenoid (SS) valve 1 is part of the lower control valve body. The SS valve 1 is a normally closed (NC) solenoid valve and controls fluid to the clutch select valve 2 and related clutches. The transmission control module (TCM) looks for a good shifts from first gear engine braking, to first gear freewheel, to second gear and then if third gear indicates neutral, and the TFP Sw 5 does not change states, the TCM sets the DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • No DTCs P0716, P0717, P0722, or P0723.
    • No DTCs P1825 or P1915.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The commanded gear is third.
    • The attained gear slip is equal to or greater than 75 RPM for 2 seconds.
    • The TFP Switch 5 does not change states after third gear command.
    • Commanded gear has achieved first lock, first freewheel or second gear and current commanded gear equals third, gear box slip is equal to or greater than 100 RPM for 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0752 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DIC/DTC

DTC P0752 is a Type A DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

When attempting to set transmission performance DTCs, observe the Freeze Frame and Failure Records to assist in duplicating the failure conditions. Ensure the transmission fluid level is correct and there are no leaks.

Special Tools Required

DT-47825 Control Solenoid Test Plate

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Perform the Transmission Fluid Check .
  2. Operate the vehicle in drive from a complete stop, with the calculated throttle position greater than 15 percent to obtain 72 km/h (45 mph) 2 times.
    3. ⇒If the DTC resets, go to Circuit/System Testing.

Circuit/System Testing
  1. Perform the Line Pressure Check .
    2. ⇒If the pressure is out of specification correct that concern first.
  2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Cleaning and retest the DTC as outlined in the Circuit/System Verification steps.
    3. ⇒If the DTC resets, continue on with testing.
  3. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection .
    4. ⇒If a concern is found, repair or replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.
  4. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test .
    5. ⇒If the shift solenoid 1 is found to be leaking or stuck ON, replace the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly.

Repair Instructions
