Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure (PC) solenoid 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. The normally high clutch PC solenoid 2 regulates and directs the clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve. Increasing clutch PC solenoid 2 pressure increases pressure to the 3-5 reverse clutch. The transmission control module (TCM) varies the current to the PC solenoid 2 through a low side driver. Decreasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2 increases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by closing OFF the solenoid exhaust port. Increasing the current to the clutch PC solenoid 2 decreases clutch PC solenoid 2 oil pressure by opening the solenoid exhaust port. Clutch PC solenoid 2 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

P0965, P0966, or P0967

    • 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

P0965

The TCM detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit where the measured clutch PC solenoid 2 current does not equal the commanded clutch PC solenoid 2 current for 5 seconds.

P0966

The TCM detects a short-circuit to ground on the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit for 1 second.

P0967

The TCM detects an open or short-circuit to voltage on the clutch PC solenoid 2 control circuit for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P0965

    • DTC P0965 is a Type C DTC.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions on the 3-5 Reverse clutch.

P0966

    • DTC P0966 is a Type A DTC.
    • The TCM limits the transmission to 5th gear and reverse.
    • The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
    • The TCM forces the torque converter clutch (TCC) OFF.
    • The TCM forces the HSD OFF.
    • The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
    • The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.
    • The TCM enables torque management.

P0967

    • DTC P0967 is a Type A DTC.
    • The TCM limits the transmission to 3rd gear and reverse.
    • The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
    • The TCM commands maximum line pressure.
    • The TCM inhibits Tap Up/Down function.
    • The TCM inhibits manual shifting of forward gears.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

    • DTC P0965 is a Type C DTC.
    • DTCs P0966 and P0967 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 2 Performance Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 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 2 Performance Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 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.
