DTC Descriptor

DTC P0756

- Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Valve Performance - Stuck Off

Circuit/System Description

The shift solenoid (SS) 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable parts. The control solenoid valve assembly is

attached to the lower control valve body. The solenoid operates by the TCM opening or closing the ground circuit. With the solenoid circuit

grounded (solenoid on), the internal plunger and metering ball block the exhaust fluid creating signal fluid pressure. The signal fluid acts against

the clutch select valve 3 to overcome the valve spring force moving it to the apply position, allowing the shift. The TCM shifts the transmission by

operating the solenoids in on/off combinations.
