P0758

Circuit Description
The 2 - 3 solenoid (2 - 3 SS) valve controls transmission fluid pressure acting on the 1 - 2 and 2 - 3 shift valves to position the valves for the appropriate gear. The 2 - 3 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve located on the control valve body. Circuit 639 supplies ignition voltage to the 2 - 3 SS valve. The output driver module, within the PCM, commands the solenoid ON or OFF by providing a ground path through circuit 1223. When the 2 - 3 SS valve is commanded ON, the PCM senses low voltage. When the 2 - 3 SS valve is commanded OFF, the PCM senses high voltage.
If the PCM detects a continuous open or short to ground in circuit 1223 or in the 2 - 3 SS valve, then DTC P0758 sets. DTC P0758 is a Type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ The system voltage is 9-18 volts.
^ The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds and not in fuel shut off.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
DTC P0758 sets when either of the following conditions occurs for 5 seconds:
^ The PCM commands the solenoid ON and the voltage remains high (B+).
^ The PCM commands the solenoid OFF and the voltage remains low (0 volts).

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
^ The PCM commands 3rd gear.
^ The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
^ The PCM freezes shift adapts.
^ The PCM inhibits Torque Converter Clutch (TCC).
^ The PCM stores DTC P0758 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 wiring for poor electrical connections at the PCM, the transmission 20-way connector, the 2 - 3 SS valve connector and all other circuit connecting points for the following conditions:
- A backed out terminal.
- A damaged terminal.
- Reduced terminal tension.
- A chafed wire.
- A broken wire inside the insulation.
- Moisture intrusion.
- Corrosion.
^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
^ 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
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
6. This step isolates the fault between the engine harness and the transmission harness.
8. This step verifies that circuit 1223 is not open or shorted to power.
10. This step verifies that the 2 - 3 solenoid is not shorted across its windings nor increased its resistance.
17. Because of the harsh conditions inside the transmission, repairing the automatic transmission (A/T) wiring harness is not acceptable. You must replace the A/T wiring harness assembly.
