Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The 2-3 shift solenoid (SS) valve controls the transmission fluid pressure acting on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves to position the valves for the appropriate gear. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally open exhaust valve located on the lower control valve body. Ignition voltage is supplied to the solenoid. The output driver module (ODM), within the powertrain control module (PCM), commands the solenoid ON or OFF by providing a ground path. When the 2-3 SS valve is commanded ON, the PCM senses low voltage. When the 2-3 SS valve is commanded OFF, the PCM senses high voltage.
If the PCM detects a continuous short to voltage in the 2-3 SS valve circuit, then DTC P0977 sets. DTC P0977 is a type A DTC.
