Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Solenoid Switch Valve, an internal, hydraulically operated valve, controls the direction of the transmission fluid
when the L/R solenoid is energized. When the solenoid switch valve is in thedownshifted position and the L/R
solenoid is energized, fluid is directed to the L/R element for 1st gear. When the solenoid switch valve is In the
up-shifted position (2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear) and the L/R solenoid is energized, fluid is directed into the Lockup
Switch Valve which controls the Torque Converter Clutch. When doing PEMCCor FEMCC, the L/R pressure switch
should indicate no pressure if the solenoid switch valve is in the L/R position. If the L/R pressure switch indicates
pressure for some time while in partial or full EMCC, the EMCC operation is aborted and momentarily inhibited to
avoid accidental application of the L/R clutch. EMCC is attempted again when there is no L/R pressure. The fourth
detection of L/R pressure while in PEMCC or FEMCC will result in setting theDTC. Torque converter EMCC oper-
ation inhibited. MIL on after 5 min. of substituted operation.
Diagnostic Test
1.DETERMINING IF RELATED DTC’S ARE PRESENT
With the scan tool, check for other Transmission DTC’s
Is the DTC P0841 present also?
Ye s>>
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
No>>
Go To 2
2.CHECK THE DTC EVENT DATA FOR TRS CODE TR2
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA for P1776.
Does the DTC EVENT DATA show a TRS Code of TR2?
Ye s>>
This indicates the shift lever and the manual control valve were in an invalid position between Neutral
and OD. Check the shifter cable for: proper adjustment, binding, friction, improper routing, or the shifter
was moved in transit. Repair as necessary.

5.CHECK THE SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE FOR STICKING
Remove the transmission oil pan and Valve body and inspect the Solenoid Switch Valve for sticking in its bore,
repair or replace as necessary.
NOTE: This DTC may be caused by debris lodged in the Transmission Solenoid Switch Valve bore. If debris
is found, clean the valve body and reassemble the transmission per the Service Information.
With the scan tool, record the DTC EVENT DATA for P1776 and erase DTCs.
Reassemble the transmission and test drive the vehicle. Try to duplicate the original set conditions using the DTC
EVENT DATA recorded earlier.

P1790-FAULT IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHIFT
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
After a Gear Ratio Error code is stored.
Set Condition:
After a Gear Ratio Error DTC has already been set. The DTC is set if the fault happened within 1.3 seconds
of a shift. The DTC set time will vary from 1.214 seconds to 15 seconds.
Possible Causes
FAULT AFTER SHIFT
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
This DTC is not stored alone. It is stored if a Gear Ratio DTC is detected immediately after shift. The existence of
DTC P1790 indicates a mechanical or hydraulic (not electrical) related problems. It should be noted, however, that
all mechanical problems don’t necessarily result in DTC P1790. When this DTC exists, diagnosing the system
should be based on the associated DTC and only mechanical causes should be considered.
Diagnostic Test
1.FAULT AFTER SHIFT
This DTC is set along with a Gear Ratio DTC. Perform the appropriate test forthe Gear Ratio DTC stored.
NOTE: Check Pending DTCs or 1 trip failures if there are no Active or Stored Gear Ratio DTCs.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
Perform 42RLE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
