AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (for 1GR-FE), Diagnostic DTC:P0778

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

DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR, which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in one of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly Click here.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0778

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 ratio equals 100%.

Tech Tips

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

  • Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit

  • Shift solenoid valve SL2

  • ECM

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. Then 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 circuit.

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.

      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Disconnect the C30 transmission wire connector.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      11 (SL2+) - 3 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      11 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      3 (SL2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      Rear view of wire harness connector

      (to ECM)

      Disconnect the C35 and C36 ECM connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C35-31 (SL2+) - C36-34 (SL2-) 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω
      C35-31 (SL2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C36-34 (SL2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

      Remove shift solenoid valve SL2.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 5.0 to 5.6 Ω

    3. Apply 12 V battery voltage to the shift solenoid valve and check that the valve moves and makes an operating noise.

      OK
      Measurement Condition Specified Condition

      • Battery positive (+) with a 21 W bulb → Terminal 1

      • Battery negative (-) → Terminal 2

      		 Valve moves and makes operating noise
