Circuit Description

The 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls fluid acting on the 2-3 shift valve. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve used with the 1-2 SS valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The 2-3 SS valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 2-3 SS valve. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the 2-3 SS valve by providing a ground path through the 2-3 shift solenoid valve control circuit.

If the PCM detects a continuous open or short in the 2-3 SS valve circuit or the 2-3 SS valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a type C DTC. For California emissions vehicles and vehicles under 8600 GVW, DTC P0758 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The system voltage is 8.0-18.0 volts.
    • The engine is running more than 400 RPM for more than 7 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The above conditions are met and either of the following conditions occur for 4.3 out of 5 seconds.

    • The PCM commands the 2-3 SS valve ON, and the voltage input remains high (B+).
    • The PCM commands the 2-3 SS valve OFF, and the voltage input remains low (0 volts).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) for California emission vehicles.
    • The PCM commands a soft landing to second gear.
    • The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The PCM freezes shift adapts form being updated.
    • The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame (Calif. only) and Failure Records (Calif. and Federal).
    • The PCM stores DTC P0758 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • For California emissions, the PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
    • A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
    • For California emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
    • For Federal emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
    • The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC P0758 defaults to an elevated line pressure condition which may result in TCC partial apply. This may induce idle surge and engine stall. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio .

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step tests the function of the 2-3 SS valve and the internal wiring harness.

  2. This step tests the power to the 2-3 SS valve from the ignition through the fuse.

    3.

  3. This step tests the ability of the PCM and the wiring to control the ground circuit.

    4.

  4. This step measures the resistance of the automatic transmission (AT) wiring harness assembly and the 2-3 SS valve.

  1. Install a Scan Tool .
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

    3. Important: Before clearing the DTCs, use the scan tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the PCM.

  3. Record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
  4. Clear the DTCs.

Were DTCs P0753, or P1860 also set?

  1. Inspect the transmission fuse.
  2. If you find an open fuse, inspect the following components for a short to ground:
    3. • Off/Run/Crank voltage circuit (CKT 1020)
    • The 1-2 shift solenoid
    • The 2-3 shift solenoid
    • The TCC PWM solenoid
    • The automatic transmission wiring harness assembly
  3. Repair the circuit, the solenoid, or replace the harness if necessary.

Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems or Wiring Harness Replacement.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the transmission 20-way connector. Additional DTCs will set.
  3. Install the J 44152 jumper harness (20 pins) on the engine harness connector.
  4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  5. Connect a 12 volt test lamp from the J 44152 cavity E to ground.

Does the test lamp illuminate?
