Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 5 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The normally low clutch PC solenoid 5 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 5 oil pressure to the 1-2-3-4 clutch regulator valve. Increasing clutch PC solenoid 5 pressure increases pressure to the 1-2-3-4 clutch. The transmission control module (TCM) varies the current to the PC solenoid 5 through a low side driver. Increasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 5 increases clutch PC solenoid 5 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Decreasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 5 decreases clutch PC solenoid 5 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Clutch PC solenoid 5 power is supplied by the TCM through a high side driver (HSD). The HSD protects the circuit and components from excessive current flow. If excessive current flow is detected, the HSD will turn OFF. When the fault is corrected, the HSD will reset.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P2728, P2729, or P2730

    • The engine speed is 400 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
    • The ignition voltage is 9.0 volts or greater.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2728

The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit where the measured clutch PC solenoid 5 current does not equal the commanded clutch PC solenoid 5 current for 5 seconds.

P2729

The TCM detects a short-circuit to ground on the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

P2730

The TCM detects an open or short-circuit to voltage on the clutch PC solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P2728

    • DTC P2728 is a Type C DTC.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions on the 1-2-3-4 clutch.

P2729

    • DTC P2729 is a Type A DTC.
    • The TCM limits the transmission to 3rd gear and reverse.
    • The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
    • The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Tap Down.
    • The TCM inhibits manual up, manual down with the shift selector.

P2730

    • DTC P2730 is a Type A DTC.
    • The TCM forces the High Side Driver OFF.
    • The TCM limits the transmission to reverse and 5th gear.
    • The TCM Forces TCC OFF.
    • The TCM enables torque management.
    • The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Tap Down function.
    • The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
    • The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • DTC P2728 is a Type C DTC.
    • DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Operate the vehicle in second gear long enough to ensure at least a 3°C (5°F) rise in TCM temperature, then operate the vehicle in PARK for 5 seconds.
  2. Operate the vehicle in drive range. Allow the transmission to change through all forward gear ranges. Verify with a scan tool, the following test status parameters display OK.
  3. • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Performance Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
  4. After performing the above steps, verify that the DTC does not reset by operating the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions you observe from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification procedure, then STOP. Do not perform the Circuit/System Testing or Component Testing as this may result in an unnecessary part replacement. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .

Circuit/System Testing

    Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Replacement .
  2. Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection .
  3. Place the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly on a clean work surface near the transmission assembly.
  4. Connect DT-48616-10 harness between the vehicle wire harness X1 14-way transmission electrical connector, and the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly electrical connector.
  5. Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool the following test status parameters display OK.
  6. • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Performance Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
    If any test status parameter displays Fault or Malfunction, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

       Note: Before replacing the TCM, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection .

    • Refer to Control Module References for control solenoid valve assembly replacement, set-up, and programming.
    • Perform the Transmission Adaptive Values Learn following all transmission related repairs.
