DTC P0776 Pressure Control Solenoid ºBº Performance
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the output shaft speed sensor and input speed sensor to detect the actual gear
position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical
problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.).
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0776The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear
when driving (2±trip detection logic)Shift solenoid valve SL2 remains open or closed
Valve body is blocked
Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates ºstuck ON malfunctionº or ºstuck OFF malfunctionº of the shift solenoid valve SL2.
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº. When the gear position com-
manded by the ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores
the DTC.

DTC P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid ºBº Electrical
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ºONº and ºOFFº operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (See page DI±567).
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0778
The ECM checks for an open or short in the shift solenoid
valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears. (1±trip detec-
tion logic)
Output signal duty equals to 100%.
(NOTE: SL2 output signal duty is less than 100% under nor-
mal condition.)

Shift solenoid valve SL2
ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM commands gear shift
by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid
valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the ECM per-
forms the fail±safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº. (In case of an open
or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit,
the ECM determines there is a malfunction (See page DI±567).

DTC P0781 1±2 Shift (1±2 Shift Valve)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 1±2 shift valve performs shifting to 1st gear and other
gears.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0781The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear
when driving (2±trip detection logic)Valve body is blocked up or stuck (1±2 shift valve)
Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC indicates that the 1±2 shift valve in the valve body is locked in the direction the spring compresses.
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ºON/OFFº and switching oil pressure
to the valves in the valve body.
The ECM calculates the ºactualº transmission gear by comparing the signals from the input speed sensor
(NCO) and the output speed sensor (SP2). The ECM can detect many mechanical problems in the shift sole-
noids, valve body, and the transmission clutches, brakes, and gears. If the ECM detects that the actual gear
position and the commanded gear position are different, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC .
