AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0778

DTC Code DTC Name
P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 6th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2, S3, S4 and SR, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (Click here).

Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

The ECM checks for an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears (1-trip detection logic).

Output signal duty equals 100%.

  • Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL2

  • ECM

Tip:

SL2 output signal duty is less than 100% under normal conditions.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. Also, the ECM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. In case of an open or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the open or short-circuited solenoid.

While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit, the ECM determines there is a malfunction (Click here).
