DTC P0766: Shift Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S4); DTC P0776: Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) [04/2013 - 08/2015]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lexus IS 250 and 2014 Lexus IS 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ECM uses signals from the transmission revolution sensor (SP2) and transmission revolution sensor (NT) to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear).

Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.).

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0766 Shift Solenoid "D" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve S4) S4 stuck OFF malfunction or brake control valve malfunction*:
Shifting to 5th and 6th gears is impossible.
The ECM determines there is a malfunction when the following conditions are both met.(2-trip detection logic)
  • (a) When the ECM directs the gearshift to change to 5th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 4th.
  • (b) When the ECM directs the gearshift to change to 6th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 4th.
  • Shift solenoid valve S4 remains closed
  • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or closed
  • Valve body is blocked (Brake control valve)
  • Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
Comes on DTC stored
P0776 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2) SL2 stuck ON malfunction or brake control valve malfunction*:
Shifting to 5th and 6th gears is impossible.
The ECM determines there is a malfunction when the following conditions are both met.(2-trip detection logic)
  • (a) When the ECM directs the gearshift to change to 5th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 4th.
  • (b) When the ECM directs the gearshift to change to 6th gear, the actual gear is shifted to 4th.
  • Shift solenoid valve SL2 remains open
  • Shift solenoid valve SLT remains open or closed
  • Valve body is blocked (Brake control valve)
  • Automatic transmission (clutch, brake or gear, etc.)
