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 done 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 controls
the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (Fail safe function).
Fail Safe Function:
If either of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an open or a 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 malfunction, hydraulic control cannot be done electroni-
cally so it 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.

The ECM checks for an open or short circuit in the shift sole-
noid valves No. 1 and 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 the MIL
After ECM detects condition a) or b) continuously 2 times or
more in one−trip, it causes the MIL light up until condition a) or
b) disappears
After that, if the ECM detects condition (a) or (b) once, it starts
lighting up the MIL again
(a) Solenoid resistance is 8 Ω or less short circuit when sole-
noid is energized
(b) Solenoid resistance is 100 kΩ or more open circuit when
solenoid is not energized

DTC P0770 Shift Solenoid E Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses signals from the throttle position sensor, air−flow
meter and crankshaft position sensor to monitor the engage-
ment condition of the lock−up clutch.
Then the ECM compares the engagement condition of the
lock−up clutch with the lock−up schedule in the ECM memory
to detect mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valve SL,
valve body and torque converter clutch.

check that the solenoid valve leak air.
(b) When battery positive voltage is supplied to the solenoid
valve, check it close.

DTC P0773 Shift Solenoid E Electrical Malfunction
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The shift solenoid valve SL is turned ON and OFF by signals from the ECM to control the hydraulic pressure
acting on the lock−up relay valve, which then controls operation of the lock−up clutch.
Fail Safe Function:
If the ECM detects a malfunction, it turns the shift solenoid valve SL OFF.

DTC P1780 Park/Neutral Position Switch Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The park/neutral position switch detects the shift lever position and sends signals to the ECM.
The ECM receives signals (NSW, R, 2 and L) from the park/neutral position switch. When the signal is not
sent to the ECM from the park/neutral position switch, the ECM judges that the shift lever is in the D position.
