Diagnostic Fault Information

Typical Scan Tool Data

Circuit/System Description

Shift solenoid valve 2 is installed on the middle valve body. The solenoid turn ON and OFF in response to signals output from the TCM. According

to the ON or OFF status of shift solenoid valve 1 or shift solenoid valve 2, the 1st gear engine brake operates or the gear shifts into change. As a

fail-safe function, if any shift solenoid abnormality occurs, the transmission control module (TCM) will disable the current to the solenoids.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0973

* The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V.

* The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 2 s.

* The transmission is not in emergency mode.

* 10 ms after solenoid output changed.

P0974

* The ignition voltage is 10.2-15.5 V.

* The engine speed is greater than 400 RPM for 2 s.

* The transmission is not in emergency mode.

* 10 ms after solenoid output changed.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0973

The TCM detects an ON signal (12 V) of the 2 circuit when the 2 is commanded OFF (0 V) for 100 ms continuously after 5 times.

P0974

The TCM detects an OFF signal (0 V) of the 2 circuit when the 2 is commanded ON (12 V) for 100 ms continuously after 5 times.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* DTCs P0973 and P0974 are Type A DTCs.

* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
