DTC Descriptors
DTC P0796
- Clutch Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 3 - Stuck Off
DTC P0797
- Clutch Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 3 - Stuck On
Circuit/System Description
The clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 3 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable parts. The PC solenoid 3
regulates transmission fluid pressure to the CBR1/C 4-5-6 clutch regulator valve which controls pressure to the 4-5-6 clutch. The TCM calculates
gear ratio based on the RPM signals from the input speed sensor (ISS) and the output speed sensor (OSS). The TCM compares the expected
transmission gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for each commanded gear.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0796
* DTCs P0716, P0717, P0722, P0723, P182E or P1915 are not set.
* High side driver (HSD) is enabled.
* The throttle position is 10 percent or greater.
* The transmission input shaft speed is 60 RPM or greater.
* Low and reverse/4-5-6 clutch is commanded ON.
P0797
* DTCs P0716, P0717, P0722, P0723, P182E or P1915 are not set.
* High side driver (HSD) is enabled.
* The throttle position is 10 percent or greater.
* The transmission output shaft speed is 200 RPM or greater.
* Low and reverse/4-5-6 clutch is commanded OFF.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0796
The TCM detects an incorrect on-coming clutch gear ratio, or flare, when the low and reverse/4-5-6 clutch is commanded ON for 2 seconds and the
transmission input shaft speed is 75 RPM or greater from the anticipated input shaft speed.
P0797
The TCM detects an incorrect off-going clutch gear ratio, or tie-up, when the low and reverse/4-5-6 clutch is commanded OFF for 2 seconds and
