CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor for ABS detects the wheel speed and sends the appropriate signals to the ABS ECU.
The ECU converts these signals in to a 4-pulse signal and outputs it to the combination meter.
After this signal is converted into a more precise rectangular waveform by the waveform shaping circuit in-
side the combination meter, it is then transmitted to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based
on the frequency of these pulse signals.

DTC P0750, P0755 Shift Solenoid A/B Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve No.1/No.2)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor and direct clutch speed sensor to detect the actual
gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or O/D gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical
trouble of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0750
P0755During normal driving, the gear required by the ECM does not
match the actual gear

Shift solenoid valve No.1/No.2 is stuck open or closed

Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)
HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve No.1 when DTC P0750 is output and check the shift solenoid valve No.2 when
DTC P0755 is output.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2 operation.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove the oil pan.
(b) Remove the shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2.
CHECK:
(a) Applying 490 kPa (5 kgf/cm2, 71 psi) of compressed air,
check that the solenoid valve does not leak air.
(b) When battery positive voltage is supplied to the shift sole-
noid valve, check that the valve opens.
OK:
(a) Solenoid valve does not leak air.
(b) Solenoid valve opens.
NG Replace the shift solenoid valve No.1 or No.2.
OK

DTC P0753, P0758 Shift Solenoid A/B Electrical Malfunc-
tion (Shift Solenoid Valve No.1/No.2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to O/D is performed in combination with ON and OFF of the shift solenoid valves No.1 and
No.2 controlled by ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM con-
trols the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail safe func-
tion).
Fail safe function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or short, the ECM turns the other shift solenoid
ON and OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The ECM also turns the shift solenoid
valve SL OFF at the same time. If both solenoids are malfunctioning, hydraulic control cannot be performed
electronically and must be done manually.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done (In the case of a short circuit, the ECM stops
sending current to the short circuited solenoid).
HINT:
Check the shift solenoid valve No.1 when DTC P0753 is output and check the shift solenoid valve No.2 when
DTC P0758 is output.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P0753
P0758
The ECM checks for an open or short circuit in the shift sole-
noid valve No.1 and/or No.2 circuit when it changes.
The ECM records DTC P0753 or P0758 if condition (a) or (b) is
detected once, but it does not light up MIL.
After ECM detects condition (a) or (b) continuously 8 times or
more in a trip and the MIL lights up.
(a) When the solenoid is energized, the solenoid resistance
is 8 W or less and is counted.
(b) When the solenoid is not energized, the solenoid resistance
is 100 kW or more and is counted.
