DTC P0778 Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical (Shift Solenoid Valve SL2): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with the ON and OFF operation of the shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR, which is controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valve to allow the vehicle to be operated safely (see FAIL-SAFE CHART ).

DTC DETECTION CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0778	ECM checks for an open or short circuit in shift solenoid valves SL2 (1 trip detection logic) When solenoid is energized, duty ratio exceeds 75% When solenoid is not energized, duty ratio is less than 3%	Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit Shift solenoid valve SL2 ECM

Reference: Inspect using an oscilloscope.

Check the waveform of the ECM connector.

Standard voltage: Refer to illustration.
