Shift Solenoid Gear Ratio Chart:
Circuit Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the commanded gear and the speed ratio in order to identify a 1-2 Shift Solenoid Valve (1-2 SS Valve) problem.
When the PCM detects a 2-3 only or a 14 only shift pattern, then DTC P0751 sets. DTC P0751 is a type B DTC.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
^ No Throttle Position (TP) DTCs P0122 or P0123.
^ No Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) DTC P0502.
^ No Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) stuck ON DTC P0742.
^ No 1-2 solenoid electrical DTC P0753.
^ No 2-3 solenoid electrical DTC P0758.
^ No TCC Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) solenoid electrical DTC P1860.
^ No TCC enable solenoid electrical DTC P1864.
^ The engine speed is greater than 500 RPM for 5 seconds.
^ Not in fuel shut off.
^ The vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
^ The transmission temperature is between 20-130°C (68-266°F).
^ The transmission range switch indicates D4.
^ The traction control is not active.
^ All of the above must occur twice and either fail-cases 1,2,3 and 4 or 1,2,3 and 5 are true twice.
Failure Criteria
Case 1
^ 1-2 shift commanded.
^ The throttle position is 18-45% and is constant within 5%.
^ The vehicle speed is 8-72 km/h (5-45 mph).
^ When 2nd gear is commanded and within 2.5 seconds, engine speed is 110 RPM greater than the engine speed of the commanded 1st gear.
Case 2
^ 2-3 shift commanded.
^ The throttle position is 18-45% and is constant within 5%.
^ The vehicle speed is 32-88 km/h (20-55 mph).
^ When 3rd gear is commanded and within 2.5 seconds, the engine speed is 170 RPM less than the engine speed of the commanded 2nd gear.
Case 3
^ 3-4 shift commanded.
^ The throttle position is 18-45% and is constant within 3%.
^ The vehicle speed is 52-104 km/h (32-65 mph).
^ When 4th gear is commanded and within 2.5 seconds, the engine speed is 5 RPM greater than the engine speed of the commanded 3rd gear.
Case 4
^ Fourth gear is commanded and the TCC is ON.
^ The throttle position is 7-37%.
^ The speed ratio is 40.5-42.5.
^ The TCC slip is 500-1000 RPM for more than 3 seconds.
Case 5
^ Fourth gear is commanded and the TCC is ON.
^ The throttle position is 7-37%.
^ The speed ratio is 28-30.
^ The TCC slip is -20 to +25 RPM for more than 3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM inhibits downshifts to 2nd gear if the vehicle speed is greater than 48 km/h (30 mph).
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after two consecutive trips with a failure reported.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the MIL after three consecutive ignition cycles without a failure reported.
^ A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.
^ The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
^ Check for PRNDL DTC P0705. A PRNDL DTC affects transmission operation. A PRNDL DTC may set DTC P0751 falsely.
^ Inspect the transmission fluid for sediment.
^ Inspect the transmission filter for debris.
