DTC P0752 Shift Solenoid A Performance (Stuck On)

D07RT011

Circuit Description

The shift solenoid A is used to control fluid flow acting on
the 1–2 and 3–4 shift valves. The solenoid is a normally
close exhaust valve that is used with the shift solenoid B
to allow four different shifting combinations.
The DTC detects when there is only a 2–2–3–3 shift
pattern depending on the state of the mechanical failure
instead of a 1–2–3–4 shift pattern. This is a type “B” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

No ETC DTCs.

No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.

No TCC solenoid DTC P0742, P1860, P1870.

No shift solenoid A DTC P0753.

No shift solenoid B DTC P0758.

Gear range is D4.

Output speed is greater than 375 rpm.

Transmission temperature is between 20

and 130

(68

and 266

F).

No range code P0705, P0706.

No torque code (to be confirmed).

Engine run for more 0 seconds and not influed cut-off
(to be confirmed).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

Maximum line pressure.

For lamp illuminate refer to

DTC type definition (type

B).

Turn Force Motor OFF.

Conditions For Clearing The The MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Verify that the transmission meets the specifications
in the 4L30–E shift speed chart.

Other internal transmission failures may cause more
than one shift to occur.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s), use the scan tool to record “Freeze
Frame” and “Failure Records” for reference, as data will be lost
when the “Clear Info” function is used.

3. Record the DTC “Freeze Frame” and “Failure Records”.
4. With the engine operating, apply the brake pedal and select

DTC P0753 Shift Solenoid A Electrical

D07R200010

Circuit Description

The shift solenoid A is a simple on/off solenoid
located in the main case valve body. The solenoid is
the normally closed type. In second or third gear the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the
solenoid to open a fluid inlet port. When the port is
open, fluid pressure actuates the shift valve.

The solenoid is activated by a current. This current is
produced by applying a voltage to one side (the High
side) and a ground to the other side (Low side).

The High Side Driver (HSD) is a circuit of the PCM
that acts as a switch between the solenoids and the
supply voltage. The High side of the solenoid is
permanently supplied with voltage, except in
BACKUP MODE or when ignition is off the HSD is
turned off.

This DTC detects a continuous open or short to ground in
the shift solenoid A circuit or the shift solenoid A. This is a
type “B” DTC.

Conditions For Setting The DTC

Ignition is “on”, Engine “run”.

Battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts.

The PCM commands the solenoid “on” and the
voltage remains high (B+), or the PCM commands
the solenoid “off” and the voltage remains low (zero
volts).

All conditions met for 0.84 – 1.0 seconds.

Action Taken When The DTC Sets

Maximum line pressure.

Immediate landing to 4th gear.

Inhibit TCC engagement.

For lamp illuminate refer to

DTC type definition (type

B).

Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn off the MIL and CHECK TRANS
Lamp after three consecutive ignition cycles without a
failure reported.

The DTC can be cleared from the PCM history by
using a scan tool.

The DTC will be cleared from history when the vehicle
has achieved 40 warmup cycles without a failure
reported.

The PCM will cancel the DTC default actions when
the fault no longer exists and the ignition is cycled “off”
long enough to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connection at the
PCM and at the transmission 7-way connector. Look
for possible bent, backed out, deformed or damaged
terminals. Check for weak terminal tension as well.
Also check for a chafed wire that could short to bare
metal or other wiring. Inspect for a broken wire inside
the insulation.

7A1–65

When diagnosing for a possible intermittent short or
open condition, move the wiring harness while
observing test equipment for a change.

An open ignition feed circuit can cause multiple DTCs
to set.

A shift solenoid B DTC P0758 could also set with a
shift solenoid A electrical failure.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the
diagnostic chart:
3. This test checks for power to the shift solenoid A

from the ignition through the PCM.

5. This test measures the resistance of the component.
8. This test checks the function of the shift solenoid A

and the transmission internal wiring harness.
