Circuit Description
The 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 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 shift solenoid Valve (2-3 SS Valve) to allow for four different shifting combinations. The 1-2 SS Valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 1-2 SS Valve. The VCM controls the 1-2 SS valve by providing the ground path through circuit 1222.

When the VCM detects a continuous open or short in the 1-2 SS Valve circuit or the 1-2 SS Valve, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type D DTC. For California emission vehicles, DTC P0753 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

^ No system voltage DTC P0560.
^ The ignition is ON.
^ The engine runs for greater than 5 seconds and not in fuel cutoff.
^ Fails for 4.3 out of 5 seconds.
^ The VCM commands the solenoid on, and the voltage remains high (B+), or the VCM commands the solenoid off and the voltage remains low.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

^ The VCM commands maximum line pressure.
^ The VCM freezes shift adapts.
^ The VCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) for California Emissions vehicles.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

^ For California emissions, the VCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.
^ A scan tool can clear the DTC from the VCM history. The VCM clears the DTC from the VCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.
^ The VCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the VCM.

Diagnostic Aids

^ Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the VCM. Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the transmission 20-way connector. Look for the following conditions:

- A bent terminal
- A backed out terminal
- A damaged terminal
- Poor terminal tension
- A chafed wire
- A broken wire inside the insulation

^ When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open condition, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a change.
^ An open ignition feed circuit can cause multiple DTCs to set.
^ First diagnose and clear any engine DTCs or TP Sensor codes that are present. Then inspect for any transmission DTCs that may have reset. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

4. This step tests the function of the 1-2 SS Valve and the internal wiring harness.
5. This step tests the power to the 1-2 SS Valve from the ignition through the fuse.
7. This step tests circuit 1222 from the transmission 20-way connector to the VCM for an open.
8. This step tests circuit 1222 from the transmission 20-way connector to the VCM for an open.
