P0766
AB60F AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM: P0766: Shift Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S4)
DTC P0766 - Shift Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S4)
DTC P0776 - Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)
DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems with the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.).
HINT:
- Gear positions in the event of a shift solenoid valve mechanical problem:
- Gear position during fail-safe operation:
If any malfunction is detected, the ECM changes into the fail-safe mode to shift into the gear positions as shown in the table below.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates a "stuck OFF malfunction" of shift solenoid valve S4, "stuck ON malfunction" of shift solenoid valve SL2, or brake control valve malfunction. The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF. When the gear position commanded by the ECM and the actual gear position are not same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. ACTIVE TEST
HINT:
Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Turn the Techstream on.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.
(g) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.
HINT:
While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the Techstream.
Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem Fail-Safe Chart.
Engine and ECT
HINT:
- This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
- The 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th up-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- The 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th down-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
- The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List display on the Techstream.
- Shift solenoid valve SL2 turns ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is in D.
PROCEDURE
1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTCS P0766 AND P0776)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs using the Techstream.
Result
HINT:
If any other codes besides P0766 and P0776 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
B -- GO TO DTC CHART
A -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE SLT)
NOTICE:
- Perform the test at the normal operating ATF temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
- Be careful to prevent SST hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
- Perform the test with the A/C turned off.

Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
(a) Remove the test plug on the transmission case center right side and connect SST.
SST: 09992-00095
09992-00231
09992-00271
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Start the engine and warm it up.
(d) Measure the line pressure with SST.
(e) Turn the Techstream on.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.
(g) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.
(h) Measure the line pressure.
Engine and ECT
HINT:
*: Activate the Solenoid (SLT) in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the Hydraulic Test Hydraulic Test as well. Note that the pressure values in the Active Test and hydraulic test are different.
OK:
The line pressure changes as specified when performing the Active Test.
