DTC    P0771    Shift Solenoid "E" Performance (Shift Solenoid Valve SR)

for Preparation Click here


SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear).
Then the ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of the shift solenoid valves, valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).

DTC No.
DTC Detecting Condition
Trouble Area
P0771
The gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear when driving (2-trip detection logic)
  1. Shift solenoid valve SR remains open or closed
  2. Valve body is blocked
  3. Automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF". According to the input shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ECM detects the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear position). When the gear position commanded by the ECM and the actual gear position are not the same, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs (Click here).

HINT:
Using Techstream to perform Active Test allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Test.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the ignition switch off.

  3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.

  5. Turn on the tester.

  6. Select the item "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Shift Status".

  7. According to the display on the tester, perform the "Active Test".

    HINT:
    While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with Techstream.
    Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem (Click here).
