DTC P0750, P0755 Shift Solenoid A/B Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve No. 1 / No. 2)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or O/D
gear). The ECM then compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechan-
ical trouble of the shift solenoid valves and valve body.

P0750
P0755During normal driving, the gear required by the ECM does not
match the actual gear (2 trip detection logic)Shift solenoid valve No. 1 / No. 2 is stuck open or closed
Valve body is blocked up or stuck
HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve No. 1 when DTC P0750 is output and check shift solenoid valve No. 2 when
DTC P0755 is output.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2 operation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the oil pan.
(b) Remove the shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2.
CHECK:
(a) Applying 490 kPa (5 kgf/cm2, 71 psi) of compressed air,
check that the shift solenoid valves do not leak air.
(b) When battery positive voltage is supplied to the shift sole-
noid valves, check they open.
NG Replace shift solenoid valve No. 1 or No. 2.
OK
2 Check valve body (See page DI−141).
NG Repair or replace valve body.
OK
Repair transaxle (See page AX−15).

DTC P0753, P0758 Shift Solenoid A/B Electrical Malfunc-
tion (Shift Solenoid Valve No. 1/No. 2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to O/D is done in combination with ON and OFF of the shift solenoid valves No. 1 and No.
2 controlled by ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls
the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (Fail safe function).
Fail Safe Function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or a short, the ECM turns the other shift solenoid
ON and OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The ECM also turns the shift solenoid
valve SL OFF at the same time. If both solenoids are malfunction, hydraulic control cannot be done electroni-
cally so it must be done manually.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done. (In the case of a short circuit, the ECM stops
sending current to the short circuited solenoid).
HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve No. 1 when DTC P0753 is output and check the shift solenoid valve No. 2
when DTC P0758 is output.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0753
P0758
The ECM checks for an open or short circuit in the shift sole-
noid valves No. 1 and No. 2 circuit when it changes
The ECM records DTC P0753 or P0758 if condition a) or b) is
detected once, but it does not light up the MIL
After ECM detects condition a) or b) continuously 2 times or
more in one−trip, it causes the MIL light up until condition a) or
b) disappears
After that, if the ECM detects condition (a) or (b) once, it starts
lighting up the MIL again
(a) Solenoid resistance is 8 Ω or less short circuit when sole-
noid is energized
(b) Solenoid resistance is 100 kΩ or more open circuit when
solenoid is not energized

DTC P0770 Shift Solenoid E Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the throttle position sensor, air−flow
meter and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engage-
ment condition of the lock−up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the
lock−up clutch with the lock−up schedule in the ECM memory
to detect mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valve SL,
valve body and torque converter clutch.
