Pinpoint Test J: System Pressure Valve
- Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROLS - TR9070
for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The TR9070 transmission uses hydraulic line pressure to engage and disengage each of the clutches, to engage and disengage each gear, and to circulate fluid through the transmission fluid cooling system. Line pressure is controlled by the system pressure valve (SPV). The TCM provides system voltage to the system pressure valve (SPV) through a high side driver. The TCM then controls the system pressure valve (SPV) through a low side driver.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition TCM P2727:00 Pressure Control Solenoid 'E' Control Circuit/Open: No Sub Type Information The TCM sets this DTC when it detects an open in the system pressure valve (SPV) circuit. TCM P2729:00 Pressure Control Solenoid 'E' Control Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information The TCM sets this DTC when it detects an open or a short to ground in the system pressure valve (SPV) circuit. TCM P2730:00 Pressure Control Solenoid 'E' Control Circuit High: No Sub Type Information The TCM sets this DTC when it detects a short to power in the system pressure valve (SPV) circuit.

Yes GO to J8 No REPAIR the circuit. - Measure:
- J8 RECHECK THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Ignition OFF.
- Connect all connectors that have been disconnected. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the TCM.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the TCM self-test.
Did the DTC return?
Yes INSTALL a new transmission. REFER to: Transmission No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
