DTC P0753: Problem in Shift Solenoid Valve A Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003 Honda Odyssey, and 2002 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information (see General Troubleshooting Information ) before you troubleshoot. This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect PCM connectors B (25P) and D (16P).
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D7 and B20 or B22.
Is there voltage?

YES - Repair short to power in the wire between PCM connector terminal D7 and the shift solenoid valve A.

NO - Go to step 5.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Measure the resistance between PCM connector terminals D7 and B20 or B22.
Is the resistance 12-25 Ω?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Go to step 7.

Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals B20 and body ground, and between B22 and body ground.
Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Repair open in the wires between PCM connector terminals B20, B22, and ground (G101), or repair poor ground (G101).

Disconnect the 2P connector from shift solenoid valve A.
Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals D7 and B20 or B22.
Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal D7 and shift solenoid valve A.

NO - Go to step 10.

Measure shift solenoid valve A resistance at the solenoid valve connector.
Is the resistance 12-25 Ω?

YES - Check for an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal D7 and shift solenoid valve A, and between shift solenoid valve A connector terminal No 1 and ground (G101).

NO - Replace the shift solenoid valve A (see Shift Solenoid Valve A and C Replacement ).

Turn the ignition switch ON (II)
Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D5 and B20 or B22.
Is there battery voltage?

YES - Check for loose terminal fit in the PCM connectors D5 and D7. If necessary, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck.

NO - Check for blown No 6 (15A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the wire between PCM connector terminal D5 and the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
