Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 1-2 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow of the 1-2 and the 3-4 shift valves. The 1-2 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 2-3 SS valve to allow for four different shifting combinations. The 1-2 SS valve attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The ignition voltage goes directly to the 1-2 SS valve. The PCM controls the 1-2 SS valve by providing the ground path through the 1-2 shift solenoid valve control circuit.
When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a continuous open or short in the 1-2 SS valve circuit or the 1-2 SS valve, then DTC P0753 sets. DTC P0753 is a type C DTC. For California emissions vehicles and vehicles under 8,600 GVW, DTC P0753 is a type A DTC.
