DTC P0776: Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) [11/2021 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus IS 500, 2023 Lexus IS 500, and 2022 Lexus IS 500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Based on signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, SP2 and NC3), the actual gear is detected.

If the detected gear is different than the commanded gear, the TCM detects related mechanical problems in the shift solenoid valves, valve body and automatic transmission.

HINT: 

Actual gear when a problem occurs in shift solenoid valve SL2:

TCM commanded gear 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th
Actual gear during SL2 stuck ON malfunction 5th 8th 7th 6th 5th 6th 7th 8th
Actual gear during SL2 stuck OFF malfunction 1st 2nd 3rd 4th N (1st)* N* N* N*

*: Neutral

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0776 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) 1. Diagnosis Condition, 2. Malfunction Status, 3. Malfunction Time, 4. Other
DTC Detection Condition 1:
  1. Engine coolant temperature is 40°C (104°F) or more, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or more, and the vehicle is driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in shift solenoid valve SL1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, SR, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, SP2), water temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle, or CAN2)
  2. One of following occurs:

    (a) When gear shifts to 1st are requested by the TCM, actual gear changes to 5th gear

    (b) When gear shifts to 2nd are requested by the TCM, actual gear changes to 8th gear

    (c) When gear shifts to 4th are requested by the TCM, actual gear changes to 6th gear

  3. Malfunction status occurs 2 times per trip
  4. 2-trip detection logic

DTC Detection Condition 2:
  1. Engine coolant temperature is 40°C (104°F) or more, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or more, and the vehicle is driven with shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in shift solenoid valve SL1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, SR, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, SP2), water temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle, or CAN2)
  2. When gear shifts to 5th to 8th are requested by the TCM, the engine speed overruns (neutral status)
  3. Malfunction status continues for 0.5 sec. or more (1 trip)
  4. 2-trip detection logic
DTC Detection Condition 1:
  • Shift solenoid valve SL2
  • Transmission revolution sensor (NC3)
  • Valve body assembly
  • Torque converter assembly
  • Automatic transmission assembly

DTC Detection Condition 2:
  • Shift solenoid valve SL2
  • Shift solenoid valve SR
  • Transmission revolution sensor (NC3)
  • Shift solenoid valve SLT
  • Valve body assembly
  • Torque converter assembly
  • Automatic transmission assembly
