Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) is a normally-closed exhaust valve. The transmission control module (TCM) controls the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) with an internal driver that pulls the solenoid control circuit to voltage. During a 3-4 gear shift, the TCM will turn the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) OFF. If the 1-2, 2-3, reverse shift solenoid valve (S3) does not close, the U2 shift valve (392) will not move, and a 1.89:1 gear ratio will result in 4th gear, and a 1.45:1 gear ratio will result in 5th gear.
If the TCM detects a 1.89:1 gear ratio in 4th gear, or a 1.45:1 gear ratio in 5th gear, then DTC P0762 sets. DTC P0762 is a type A DTC.
