Circuit/System Description |
The shift solenoid (SS) 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable components. SS 2 is a normally closed (NC) ON/OFF solenoid and is controlled by the transmission control module (TCM) through a low side driver. When the SS 2 is energized, ON, SS 2 fluid pressure is directed to the clutch select valve 3, which allows the valve to overcome the spring pressure and move to the applied position. The current to SS 2 is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected the HSD will reset.

Circuit/System Verification |
1. |
Operate the vehicle in 3rd gear long enough to ensure at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in TCM temperature.
|
2. |
Place the gear selector in Reverse for 5 seconds and then idle the vehicle in Park for 5 seconds. Verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters displays OK:
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Open Test Status
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
|
3. |
After you complete the steps described above, check the diagnostic trouble code is not reset by driving the vehicle according to the conditions for running diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). You can also drive the vehicle according to the conditions you see in Freeze Frame/ Failure records. If the vehicle passes the circuit/system verification procedure, then stop. Do not perform the circuit/system test or component test as this may result in unnecessary part replacement. Refer to
Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
.
|
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Remove control solenoid valve assembly Q8 with ignition OFF. See Replacing control solenoid valve assembly and transmission control module . |
2. |
Perform the
Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
.
|
3. |
Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
|
4. |
Connect the
DT-47825-20
harness between the vehicle wire harness X1 20-way transmission electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
|
5. |
Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK:
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Open Test Status
|
• |
Shift Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
|
• |
If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.
|
Repair Instructions |
Note | ||
• |
Perform the
Resetting of the transmission's adaption
after all transmission repairs.
|
|
• |
Before replacing the TCM, perform the
Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection
.
|
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
