When Monitored:
During an attempted shift into 1st gear.
Set Condition:
This DTC is set if three unsuccessful attempts are made to shift the SolenoidSwitchValve(SSV)intothe
downshiftedpositioninonegivenignitionstart.ThisDTCcantakeuptofive minutes to mature before illumi-
nating the MIL.
Possible Causes
RELATED DTC P0841 PRESENT
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE STICKING
L/R PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO OTHER CIRCUITS
TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R Solenoid is energized.
The SSV will be in the downshifted position in 1st gear, thus directing the fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd
through 5th gears, it will be in the upshifted position and directing the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC).
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement into the down-
shifted position. The L/R Pressure Switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If movement is not confirmed (the
L/R pressure switch does not close), EMCC is inhibited until SSV operationis confirmed.

Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R Solenoid is energized.
The SSV will be in the downshifted position in 1st gear, thus directing the fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd
through 5th gears, it will be in the upshifted position and directing the fluid into the torque converter clutch (TCC).
When in 2nd, 2nd Prime, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear, the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) can be engaged when certain
conditions are met. The TCC piston is electronically modulated by increasing the duty cycle of the L/R solenoid until
the torque converter slip difference (difference between engine and transmission input speed) is within 60 RPM.
Then the L/R solenoid isfully energized (FEMCC - 100% duty cycle). Torque converter slip is monitored in FEMCC
to ensure adequate clutch capacity.

P1790-FAULT IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHIFT
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
After a speed ratio error is stored.
Set Condition:
This DTC is set if the associated speed ratio DTC is stored within 1.3 seconds after a shift.
Possible Causes
FAULT AFTER SHIFT
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
This DTC will only be stored along with a gear ratio DTC. If this DTC is set, itindicates a probable hydraulic (line
pressure) or mechanical problem exists. Diagnosing the transmission should be based on the associated speed
ratio DTC and mechanical causes should be considered first.
