Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid 5 Control	P2729	P2730	P2730	P2728

Circuit/System Description

The clutch pressure control solenoid 5 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The transmission control module supplies 12 volts to the pressure control solenoid 5 through the high side driver 1 circuit. The transmission control module controls the pressure control solenoid 5 through the pressure control solenoid 5 control circuit. The normally low pressure control solenoid 5 directs fluid flow to the damper clutch when commanded ON and exhausts fluid when commanded OFF. The clutch pressure control solenoid 5 regulates to the damper clutch during auto start/stop transitions.

Conditions for Running the DTC

•	The propulsion system is active.

•	The system voltage is 11-16 V.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2728

The transmission control module detects an internal electrical performance malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 5 control circuit for 5 seconds.

P2729

The transmission control module detects an internal low voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

P2730

The transmission control module detects an internal high voltage electrical malfunction of the clutch pressure control solenoid 5 control circuit for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	DTC P2728 is a Type B DTC.

•	DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	DTC P2728 is a Type B DTC.

•	DTCs P2729 and P2730 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

Vehicle ON, verify the transmission fluid temperature is between 50-80°C (122-176°F).
Drive the vehicle, observe the scan tool Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 5 Performance Test Status parameters. The reading should display OK.

⇒	If the reading is not within the specified range, replace the Q8 control solenoid valve assembly.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
