Circuit Description

The 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow acting on the 2-3 shift valves. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 1-2 SS valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations.

When the PCM detects a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern, then DTC P0756 sets. DTC P0756 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Running the DTC

No TP sensor DTCs P0122 or P0123.
No VSS assembly DTCs P0502 or P0503.
No TCC solenoid valve DTC P0740.
No TCC stuck ON DTC P0742.
No 1-2 SS valve DTC P0753.
No 2-3 SS valve DTC P0758.
No 3-2 SS valve assembly DTC P0785.
No TFP manual valve position switch DTC P1810.
No TCC PWM solenoid valve DTC P1860.
The engine speed is greater than 450 RPM for 5 seconds.
The engine is not in fuel cutoff.
The gear range is D4.
The TP angle is greater than 10 percent.
The transmission fluid temperature is 20-130°C (68-266°F).
The system voltage is 10-18 volts.
The engine torque is 50-400 lbs ft.
The transmission output speed is 150 RPM or greater.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0756 sets if the following conditions occur:

Condition 1

The PCM commands first gear for 2 seconds.
The estimated gear ratio is 0 to 1.4.
The TCC slip speed is -3000 to 200 RPM.
All conditions are met for 1 second.

Condition 2

The PCM commands second gear for 1 second.
The estimated gear ratio is 0.9 to 1.2.
The torque converter efficiency is greater than 0.5.
All conditions are met for 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
The PCM commands 3rd gear only.
The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
The PCM inhibits TCC engagement.
The PCM inhibits fourth gear if the transmission is in hot mode.
The PCM freezes shift adapts from being updated.
The PCM records the operating conditions when the Conditions for Setting the DTC are met. The PCM stores this information as Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
The PCM stores DTC P0756 in PCM history.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM turns OFF the MIL during the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and passes.
A scan tool can clear the MIL/DTC.
The PCM clears the DTC from PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without an emission-related diagnostic fault occurring.
The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and/or the ignition switch is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.

Diagnostic Aids

Verify that the transmission meets the specifications in the Shift Speed table.

Refer to the Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio table.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

This step tests that the PCM commanded all shifts, that all shift solenoid valves responded correctly, but that all the shifts did not occur.

DTC P0756 (5.7 L)

Step	Action	Value(s)	Yes	No
1	Did you perform the Powertrain Diagnostic System Check?	--	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls - 5.7 L
2	Install a Scan Tool . Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Important Before clearing the DTC, use the Scan Tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Using the Clear Info function erases the Freeze Frame and Failure Records from the PCM. Record the DTC Freeze Frame and Failure Records. Clear the DTC. Drive the vehicle in D4 range under the following conditions: Accelerate the vehicle, ensuring that the PCM commands 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. Did you detect a 4-3-3-4 shift pattern?	--	Go to Step 3	Go to Diagnostic Aids
3	Inspect the shift solenoid/hydraulic circuit for the following conditions: An internal malfunction Damaged seals on the shift solenoid valves Refer to Shift Solenoid Leak Test . Did you find and correct the condition?	--	Go to Step 4	--
4	Perform the following procedure in order to verify the repair: Select DTC. Select Clear Info. Drive the vehicle in D4 range under the following conditions (only if traffic and road conditions permit): Hold the throttle at 40% and accelerate to 64 km/h (40 mph). Select Specific DTC. Enter DTC P0756. Has the test run and passed?	--	System OK	Go to Step 1
