1. After the repair is complete, use the scan tool to select “DTC”,

then “Clear Info” function and operate the vehicle under the
following conditions:

D

The shift solenoid A is commanded “on” and voltage drops to
zero.

D

The shift solenoid A is commanded “off” and voltage
increases to B+.

2. Review the scan tool “DTC Info”.

Has the last test failed or is the current DTC displayed?

7A1–72 TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30–E)

DTC P0756 Shift Solenoid B Performance (Stuck OFF)

D07RT011

Circuit Description

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

Conditions For Setting The DTC

D

No ETC DTCs.

D

No OSS DTCs P0722 or P0723.

D

No TCC solenoid DTC P0742, P1860., P1870.

D

No shift solenoid A DTC P0753.

D

No shift solenoid B DTC P0758.

D

Gear range is D4.

D

Output speed is greater  than 375 rpm.

D

For lamp illuminate refer to DTC type definition (type

D

Turn force motor OFF.

Conditions For Clearing The MIL/DTC

D

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

D

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

D

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

D

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

Diagnostic Aids

D

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

D

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

1. Install the scan tool.
2. With the engine “off”, turn the ignition switch “on”.

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

each transmission range DL, D2, D3, D4, N, R, and P.

Does each selected transmission range match the “TR Switch” on
the scan tool?

Go to Step 3

Go to “Range

1. While the engine is operating, raise the drive wheels.
2. With the transmission in D4 range, use the scan tool to

command 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th gears while accelerating
the vehicle.

Was a 4–3–3–4 shift pattern detected? (Road testing the vehicle
may be necessary.)

One or both of the shift solenoids for an internal malfunction.

D

Contamination or sediment in one or both of the shift
solenoids.

D

Damaged seals on the one or both of the shift solenoids.
