## DTC P0753 Non European or N. American Emissions

Table 1: | TCM Shifting Pattern

### DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P0753 1-2 Shift Solenoid (SS) Control Circuit

### Conditions for Setting the DTC

• | The transmission control module (TCM) detects that the ON signal of the shift solenoid (SS) 1 monitor during 0.5 second when SS 1 driver outputs the OFF signal. The SS 1 circuit is open or short to battery.

• | The TCM detects that the OFF signal of the SS 1 monitor during 0.3 seconds when SS 1 driver outputs the ON signal. The SS 1 circuit is short to battery.

• | The above detection 8 times at shifting continuously.

### Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• | The TCM will request the illumination of the hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects a failure on the first ignition cycle.

• | No lockup control

• | No engine torque reduction control

• | No engagement pressure control

• | No timing solenoid control for N-D

• | No self-learning control

• | After failure decision: emergency mode

#### TCM Shifting Pattern

Normal | SS1 Fail
--- | ---
Gear | SS1 | SS2 | Gear | SS1 | SS2
1st | ON | ON | 3rd | FAIL | OFF
2nd | ON | OFF | 3rd | FAIL | OFF
3rd | OFF | OFF | 3rd | FAIL | OFF
4th | OFF | ON | 4th | FAIL | ON

### Conditions for Clearing the DTC

• | The TCM turns off the hold lamp when no further failures are detected on the next ignition cycle.

• | The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.

• | The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.

• | The TCM detects the ON signal of the SS 1 monitor during 160 ms when the SS 1 driver outputs the ON signal and the TCM detects the OFF signal of the SS 1 monitor during 160 ms when SS 1 driver outputs the OFF signal.

### Cause of Failure

• | The wiring harness or the connector between the SS 1 and the TCM

• | The SS 1

• | The TCM
