Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 1:  The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
  2. 2:  This step inspects the shift solenoid internal coil resistance.
  3. 3:  This step inspects for a short to ground in the shift solenoid #1 control circuit.
  4. 4:  This step inspects for an open in the shift solenoid #1 control circuit.
  5. 5:  This step inspects the transaxle internal electrical harness for damage.
  6. 6:  This step inspects for a short to voltage in the shift solenoid #1 control circuit.
  7. 7:  This step inspects for a poor electrical connection that may have caused DTC to set.
  8. 8:  This step inspects for a faulty PCM.
DTC P0753

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Automatic Transmission Controls Schematics 
1  Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2 
  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn the ignition to ON, leaving the engine OFF.
  3. Perform the scan tool Clear DTC Information function.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Freeze Frame conditions as observed.
Does the scan tool display any other DTCs in addition to DTC P0753?		 - Go to applicable DTC table Go to Step 3 
3 
  1. Disconnect the transaxle solenoid connector.
  2. Use the DMM in order to measure the resistance between the ground and the powertrain control module (PCM) harness connector CZ terminal 15.
Is the resistance equal to the specified value?		 infinity Go to Step 4  Go to Step 9 
4  Use the DMM in order to measure the resistance between the PCM harness connector C1 terminal 23.
Is the resistance less than the specified value?		 2 Ω Go to Step 5  Go to Step 10 
5 
  1. Remove the transaxle oil pan.
  2. Inspect the terminals and internal harness for damage.
  3. If the terminals and the internal harness are not damaged, replace the shift solenoid #1.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
6 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  2. Use the DMM in order to measure the voltage between the ground and PCM connector C1 terminal 23.
Is the voltage less than the specified value?		 2 V Go to Step 7  Go to Step 11 
7  Inspect all of the electrical connections for a poor terminal contact or a poor connection.
Is a poor terminal contact or a poor connection evident?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 8 
8 
  1. Install a known good PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Programming and Setup in Programming and Setup.
  2. Perform the DTC Confirmation Procedure.
Does DTC P0753 reset?		 - Go to Step 14  Go to Step 13 
9 Repair the short to ground in PPL wire between the PCM and shift solenoid #1.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
10 Repair the open or high resistance in the PPL between PCM and shift solenoid #1.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
11 Repair the short to voltage in the PPL wire between the PCM and the shift solenoid #1.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
12 Repair the terminals or connections that exhibit poor contact.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
13 Refer to Diagnostic Aids  for a possible intermittent condition. If the condition is not intermittent, replace the PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Programming and Setup in Programming and Setup.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
14 Refer to Diagnostic Aids  for additional information about DTC P0753.
Is the action complete?		 - Go to Step 15  -
15 Observe the Capture Info with the scan tool.
Are there any DTCs displayed that have not been diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information System OK
