DTC P0756 Shift Solenoid (SS) 2 Valve Performance - Stuck Off

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • Shift solenoid 2 (SS2) is stuck ON/OFF
    • Drive (D) range is selected
    • Engine water is normal temperature
    •  20 seconds have passed since the transaxle was placed in Drive (D)
    • Engine revolution is 600 RPM or greater
    • No failure of output speed sensor, input speed sensor, engine revolution, water temperature signal, solenoid electrical, ranger sensor, throttle signal

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The transmission control module (TCM) will request the illumination of the hold lamp and store the DTC when the TCM detects failures on 2 consecutive ignition cycles.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • The TCM turns off the hold lamp when no further failures are detected on the next ignition cycles.
    • The scan tool can clear the DTC from the TCM history.
    • The TCM clears the DTC from the TCM history memory after 40 consecutive ignition cycles without fault.

Cause of Failure
    • SS2
    • Inside Valve Body
    • TCM
