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, 5th or 6th 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 and automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.). |
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition |
Trouble Area | | P0756 |
(a) When the ECM directs the transmission to switch to 5th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 6th.
(b) When the ECM directs the transmission to switch to 6th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 6th. |
- Shift solenoid valve S2 remains closed
- Valve body is blocked
- Automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)
| | P0756 |
(a) When the ECM directs the transmission to switch to 1st gear, the actual gear is shifted to 3rd.
(b) When the ECM directs the transmission to switch to 6th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 5th. |

- Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or closed
- Valve body is blocked
- Automatic transmission (clutch, brake, gear, etc.)

This DTC indicates a "stuck ON malfunction" or "stuck OFF malfunction" of the shift solenoid valve S2.
The
ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ON/OFF.
When the gear position commanded by the ECM and the actual gear position
are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. MONITOR STRATEGY |

NOTICE: Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (See page
 ). 1. ACTIVE TEST HINT: Using
the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators
and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This
non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because
intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is
disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way
to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while
performing Active Tests. (a) Warm up the engine. (b) Turn the ignition switch off.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (d) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(e) Turn the Techstream on. (f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.
(g) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.
HINT: While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the Techstream.
Comparing
the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift
position enables you to confirm the problem (See page
). Engine and ECT |

[Vehicle Condition] 50 km/h (30 mph) or less |
HINT:
- This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (30 mph) or less.
- The 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th up-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- The 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th down-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
- Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
- The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List display on the Techstream.
- The shift solenoid valve S2 turns ON/OFF normally when the shift lever is in D.
