NOTE:
Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review
General Troubleshooting Information (see page 14-3).
This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the
transmission.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Test-drive the vehicle in 1st gear with the shift lever in D for at least 1 second.
4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 8.
Go to step 5.
5. Select Shift Solenoid Valve A in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and test shift solenoid valve A with the
HDS.
Go to step 6.
Go to step 8.
6. Test-drive the vehicle in 1st gear with the shift lever in D for at least 1 second.
7. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0973 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 8.
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent
failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for
intermittent short to body ground in the wire
between shift solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the
HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 5.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 9. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
10. Disconnect PCM connectors B (44P) and C (44P).
11. Measure the resistance between PCM connector terminals B10 and C40.
Go to step 12.
Go to step 22.
12. Disconnect the shift solenoid wire harness connector.
13. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals B10 and C40.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between PCM connector terminal B10 and the shift
solenoid wire harness connector, then go to step
16.
Go to step 14.

14. Inspect shift solenoid valve A and the shift solenoid
wire harness (see page 14-215).
15. Replace either shift solenoid valve A or the shift solenoid wire harness (see page 14-217),
whichever failed the test, then go to step 16.
16. Reconnect all connectors.
17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
18. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
19. Start the engine with the shift lever in P, and wait for at least 1 second. Then test-drive the vehicle in
1st gear in D for at least 1 second.
20. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check for intermittent short to body ground
in the wire between shift solenoid valve A and the
PCM, then go to step 1.
Go to step 21.
21. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0973 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 20,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for
intermittent short to body ground in the wire
between shift solenoid valve A and the PCM, then
go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED,
go to step 19. 22. Reconnect all connectors.
23. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest
software (see page 11-227), or substitute a known-
good PCM (see page 11-7).
24. Start the engine with the shift lever in P, and wait for at least 1 second. Then test-drive the vehicle in
1st gear in D for at least 1 second.
25. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check for intermittent short to body ground
in the wire between shift solenoid valve A and the
PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-
good PCM (see page 11-7), then go to step 24. If the
PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
Go to step 26.
26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0973 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is
complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the
original PCM (see page 11-228). If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 25,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for
intermittent short to body ground in the wire
between shift solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the
PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM
(see page 11-7), then go to step 24. If the PCM was
substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT
COMPLETED, go to step 24.
