4L80-E / 4L85-E Automatic Transmission
4L80-E / 4L85-E - Transmission
DTC P0752
Circuit Description
The 1-2 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow action on the 1-2 and the 3-4 shift valves. The 1-2 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 2-3 SS in order to allow four different shifting combinations.
When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a 1-1-4-4 gear ratio, then DTC P0752 sets. DTC P0752 is a type C DTC. For California emissions vehicles and vehicles under 8,600 GVW, DTC P0752 is a type B DTC.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0752 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Valve Performance - No Second or Third Gear
Conditions for Running the DTC
^ No MAF DTC P0101, P0102, or P0103.
^ No MAP sensor DTC P0106, P0107, or P0108.
^ No TP sensor DTC P0120 or P0220.
^ No VSS DTC P0502 or P0503.
^ No ISS DTC P0716 or P0717.
^ No TCC Stuck On DTC P0742.
^ No shift solenoid electrical DTC P0753 or P0758.
^ No transmission component slipping DTC P0894.
^ No TFP manual valve position switch DTC P1810.
^ No TCC PWM solenoid valve DTC P2761.
^ Not in 4WD Low.
^ The engine is running for greater than 7 seconds.
^ The system voltage is between 8 - 18 volts for more than 0.5 seconds.
^ Transmission ISS is greater than 7 RPM.
^ Transmission OSS is greater than 7 RPM.
^ The TP sensor is greater than 10 percent.
^ The engine torque must be 108 - 542 Nm (80 - 400 ft. lbs.).
^ No TFP manual valve position switch change within 6 seconds.
^ The TFP manual valve position switch indicates D4.
^ The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is 20 - 130°C (68 - 266°F).
^ The engine vacuum is 0 - 105 kPa (0 - 15 psi).
Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ The commanded gear equals 2nd and the ratio equals 1st for greater than 2.25 seconds.
^ All conditions are met for 5 occurrences.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ For California emission equipped vehicles, the PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. For Federal emission equipped vehicles, the MIL is not illuminated.
^ The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
^ The PCM inhibits 3-2 downshifts above 40 km/h (25 mph).
^ The PCM freezes shift adapts.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame, California only, and Failure Records, California and Federal.
^ The PCM stores the DTC P0752 in PCM history during the second consecutive trip, California, or the first trip, Federal, in which the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ For California emissions, the PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which thee diagnostic test runs and passes.
^ A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
^ For California emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission related diagnostic fault occurring.
^ For Federal emissions, the PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a non-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
^ Verify that the transmission meets the specifications in the Shift Speed table. Refer to Shift Speed.
^ Other internal transmission failures may cause incorrect gear ratios to occur. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.
^ DTC P0752 defaults to an elevated line pressure condition which may result in partial TCC apply. This may produce an idle surge that could stall the engine.
Test Description
Step 1 - Step 5:
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
2. This step tests that the PCM commanded all shifts, that all shift solenoid valves responded correctly, but that all the shifts did not occur.
