P0787

U340E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION / TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM (for Hatchback): P0787, P0788: Shift / Timing Solenoid Low (Shift Solenoid Valve ST)


DESCRIPTION

Shift solenoid valve ST is switched OFF-ON-OFF in accordance with signals from the ECM when up-shifting and down-shifting between the 3rd and the 4th gears. This reduces the shock of gear shifting between these positions.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When there is an open or short circuit in the shift solenoid valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and the MIL comes on.

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TRANSMISSION WIRE (SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE ST)





(a) Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the transaxle.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG -- INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE ST
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSMISSION WIRE - ECM)





(a) Connect the transmission wire connector to the transaxle.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal (from 07/2011)

3. INSPECT SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE ST





(a) Remove shift solenoid valve ST.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(c) Connect the positive (+) lead to the terminal of the solenoid connector and the negative (-) lead to the solenoid body to check the solenoid valve operation.

OK:

The solenoid makes operating sounds.
