DTC P1745: Problem in Shift Control System; Servo Control Valve Stuck OFF or Servo Valve Stuck OFF









General Description
The servo control valve and the servo valve are part of the control circuit of the transmission. The valves operate when the shift lever is in D, 2, or 1 due to line pressure, and they turn off when the shift lever is in P, R, or N. The PCM monitors the mainshaft speed and the countershaft speed and the gear change is determined by the shift schedule. When an improper gear ratio output is compared to the predetermined gear change mode, a servo control valve OFF or servo valve OFF failure is detected and a DTC is stored.
