DTC P0748 (FLASHING CODE 35) PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID FAILURE (STH)
D07RY00047Circuit description:
The pressure control solenoid is a PWM duty control
solenoid located in the valve body.
The pressure control solenoid is a TCM-controled device
used to regulate transmission throttle pressure by
energizing current from the TCM.
Fail-safe control:
The TCM controls fail-safe by detecting pressure control
solenoid failure.
Failure detection:
IG shor t failure

TCM VOLTAGE CHECK
TCM voltage check is done to check for transmission and
transmission control module (TCM) problems which cannot be
detected by self-diagnosis.
Additionally, it serves as a back-up check for self-diagnosis.
Measure the voltage drop and make a continuity test for each
of the sensors, solenoids, and switches.
If the voltage is within the specified range and continuity exists,
that particular area of the TCM and automatic transmission
assembly is normal.
If voltage deviation or lack of continuity is discovered,
disconnect the applicable parts and check each of them
individually.
This will allow you to determine the trouble location (TCM,
automatic transmission unit, or another area of the vehicle).
Inspection Tool
Use a circuit tester to measure voltage and circuit continuity.
Inser t the test probes from the connector wiring side. TCM
terminals are extremely small.
Wrap a piece of thin wire around the probe of tester.
This will make measurement easier.
TCM Voltage Check Procedure
1. Remove the TCM.
2. Turn the ignition switch on. Do not start the engine.
3. Measure the voltage at the terminal. Refer to
the following
table for the specified voltage ranges.

Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE
ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
General Description
The 4L30–E is a 4–speed fully automatic transmission. It
uses a microcomputer as a control unit to judge running
conditions including throttle opening rate and vehicle
speed, then it sets the shifting point in the optimum timing
so that best driving performance can be achieved.
In addition, the built–in shift mode select function can
select three shift modes according to the driver’s
preference:
Normal mode –Normal shift pattern.
Winter mode –Starts in 3rd gear to reduce slippage on
ice or snow.
Power mode has a delayed upshift for when more
powerful acceleration is required.
Also, the built–in fail safe function (“backup mode”)
assures driving performance even if the vehicle speed
sensor, throttle signal or any solenoid fails.
Further, the self–diagnostic function conducts diagnosis
in a short time when the control system fails, thus
improving serviceability.
The major features of 4L30–E are as follows:
A compact structure consisting of 2 sets of planetary
gears and flat torque converter.
Electronic control selects the optimum shift mode
according to the driving conditions.
Electronic control maintains the optimum hydraulic
pressure for clutch, band brake as well as
transmission so that shift feeling is improved.
Two sets of planetary gears reduce friction of power
train.
Also, a lockup mechanism in the torque converter
reduces fuel consumption.
Wide gear ratio and high torque rate of torque
converter provide excellent starting performance.
