P0751

Circuit Description
The 1 - 2, 3 - 4 shift solenoid (1 - 2, 3 - 4 SS) valve is fed ignition voltage by circuit 639 and the ground path is provided by the PCM, depending on the solenoids commanded state. When the PCM commands the solenoid OFF, a ground path is not provided and the filtered line pressure that is fed to the solenoid is exhausted. When the PCM commands the solenoid ON, a ground path is provided and the exhaust port is blocked, stopping the exhaust of line pressure.
The PCM identifies a 1 - 2, 3 - 4 SS valve condition by monitoring the commanded gear versus gear ratio. If the PCM detects a gear ratio that is outside its limits for a particular commanded gear, then DTC P0751 sets. DTC P0751 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ No TP sensor DTCs P0121, P0122 or P0123 are set.
^ No VSS DTCs P0502 or P0503 are set.
^ No A/T ISS sensor DTCs P0716 or P0717 are set.
^ No 1 - 2, 3 - 4 SS valve electrical DTC P0753 is set.
^ No 2 - 3 shift SS electrical DTC P0758 is set.
^ No TFP manual valve position switch DTC P1810 is set.
^ No TCC PWM solenoid valve DTC P1860 is set.
^ The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds and not in fuel shut off.
^ The transmission is not in PARK or NEUTRAL.
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
^ The TP angle is greater than 10%.
^ The transmission fluid temperature is greater than 20°C (68°F).
^ The engine torque is 7-270 N.m (5-200 lb ft).

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0751 sets when one of the following cases occurs. The case must occur twice per trip:
Case 1
^ The PCM commands 1st gear and the gear ratio indicates 2nd gear (1.52:1 to 1.62:1) for 2 seconds and;
^ The PCM commands 4th gear and the gear ratio indicates 3rd gear (0.95:1 to 1.05:1) for 3 seconds.
Case 2
^ The PCM commands 2nd gear and the gear ratio indicates 1st gear (2.87:1 to 2.97:1) for 3 seconds and;
^ The PCM commands 3rd gear and the gear ratio indicates 4th gear (0.65:1 to 0.75:1) for 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
^ The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
^ The PCM freezes shift adapts.
^ The PCM inhibits 3 - 2 downshifts when the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
^ The PCM stores DTC P0751 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
^ A scan tool clears the DTC from the PCM history.
^ The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids
^ Inspect the transmission fluid for sediment.
^ Inspect the transmission filter for debris.
^ Ensure that the scan tool commanded gear has correct solenoid states and ratio.
Refer to the Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table.

Test Description

Important: Do not drive the vehicle for an extended period of time because additional internal damage may occur.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step tests that the PCM commanded all the shifts, that all shift solenoid valves responded correctly, but that all the shifts did not occur.
