AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0756

DTC Code DTC Name
P0756 Shift Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S2)

DESCRIPTION

The TCM uses signals from the transmission revolution sensor (NT) and transmission revolution sensor (SP2) to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear).

Then the TCM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the TCM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0756 Shift Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S2) Gear required by the TCM does not match the actual gear when driving (1-trip detection logic).

  • Shift solenoid valve S2 remains open or closed

  • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or closed

  • Valve body is blocked

  • Automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)

 - DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates a stuck ON malfunction or stuck OFF malfunction of shift solenoid valve S2.

The TCM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When the gear position commanded by the TCM and the actual gear position are not the same, the TCM stores the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

Perform registration and/or initialization when parts related to the automatic transmission are replaced.

Tech Tips

After the repair, clear the DTCs and perform the following procedure to check that DTCs are not output.


  1. Perform the D Position Shift Test in Road Test.

  1. ACTIVE TEST

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      Tech Tips

      While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the GTS.

      Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem.

      Tech Tips


      • This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.

      • The 4th to 5th up-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.

      • The 5th to 4th down-shift must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.

      • Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.

      • The shift position commanded by the TCM is shown in the Data List display on the GTS.

      • Shift solenoid valve S2 is turned ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is in D.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0756)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes.


      Powertrain > ECT > Trouble Codes

    5. Read the DTCs using the GTS.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Only P0756 is output A
      P0756 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If any other codes besides P0756 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT)

    Note


    • Perform the test while the ATF temperature is between 50 and 80°C (122 and 176°F).

    • Be careful to prevent the hose of SST from interfering with the exhaust pipe.

    • Perform the test with the air conditioning off.

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine and warm it up.

    4. Measure the line pressure with SST.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.

    8. Measure the line pressure.

      Tech Tips


      • OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, TCM commands shift solenoid valve SLT to turn OFF)

      • ON: No action (normal operation)

      • Vehicle stopped

      • Engine idling

      Powertrain > ECT > Active Test
