DTC P0768

BHE050201026W23

DTC P0768

Shift solenoid C circuit malfunction (open circuit/short to ground or power supply)

DETECTION CONDITION

• Open or short circuit in shift solenoid C signal system (when the TCM monitors solenoid output voltage, voltage that differs from the ON/OFF signal output by CPU in TCM is detected).

Diagnostic support note:

• This is continuous monitor (CCM).
• MIL illuminates if TCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
• PENDING CODE is not available.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• AT warning light illuminates.
• DTC is stored in TCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Shift solenoid valve C malfunction
• Open circuit in wiring harness between shift solenoid valve C terminal A and TCM terminal 2V
• Short to ground in wiring harness between shift solenoid valve C terminal A and TCM terminal 2V
• Short to power supply in wiring harness between shift solenoid valve C terminal A and TCM terminal 2V
• Damaged connector between shift solenoid valve C and TCM
• TCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1

VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED

• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2

VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY

• Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3

INSPECT AT SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION

• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
• Disconnect the AT solenoid valve connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Are the connector and terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
4

INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE C

• Inspect the resistance between AT solenoid valve connector (transmission case side) terminal H and body ground.
• Is the resistance within 2.2-5.0 ohms?
Yes
Go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
5

INSPECT CONTROL VALVE BODY CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION

• Disconnect the control valve body connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Are the connector and terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
6

INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE C

• Inspect the resistance between control valve body (part-side) terminal C and body ground.
• Is the resistance within 2.2-5.0 ohms?
Yes
Repair or replace the AT solenoid valve connector harness, then go to Step 13.
No
Go to the next step.
7

INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE C CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION

• Disconnect the shift solenoid valve C connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Are the connector and terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
8

INSPECT RESISTANCE OF SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE C

• Inspect the resistance between shift solenoid valve C (part-side) terminal A and body ground.
• Is the resistance within 2.2-5.0 ohms?
Yes
Repair or replace the control valve body connector harness, then go to Step 13.
No
Verify shift solenoid valve C installation.
• If shift solenoid valve C is installed correctly, replace shift solenoid valve C, then go to Step 13.
9

INSPECT TCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION

• Disconnect the TCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Are the connector and terminals normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminal, then go to Step 13.
10

INSPECT AT SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT

• Inspect for continuity between the TCM (wiring harness-side) terminal 2V and AT solenoid valve connector (wiring harness-side) terminal H.
• Is there continuity between the terminals?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 13.
11

INSPECT AT SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).
• Inspect the voltage at AT solenoid valve connector (wiring harness-side) terminal H.
• Is the voltage 0 V?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to Step 13.
12

INSPECT TCM CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND

• Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
• Inspect for continuity between the TCM (wiring harness-side) terminal 2V and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
13

VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0768 COMPLETED

• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the TCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Drive the vehicle in D range and make sure that the gears shift smoothly from 1GR to 4GR.
• Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace the TCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
14

VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE

• Perform the "After Repair Procedure".
• Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
