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

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

The TCM 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

  • TCM

 Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The TCM 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 TCM detects the problem, illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. Then the TCM performs the fail-safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. In the case of an open or short circuit, the TCM stops sending current to the circuit.

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

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SL2)


    1. B003OJMC51
      *a

      Component without harness connected

      (Transmission Wire)

      Disconnect the 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
      Result
