DTC P0967

Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage

Circuit/System Description

For an overview of the component/system, refer to:Electronic Component Description

Circuit

Description

Control

The output circuit is switched to 12 V to activate the component.

Control

The output circuit is switched to ground to activate the component.

Component

Description

K71 Transmission Control Module

The control module receives information from a variety of sensors, switches and serial data information from other control modules. This information is used to control a combination of solenoid valves to obtain the correct line pressure, gear ratio and torque converter clutch operation.

K71 is part of the component:Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly

Q27B Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2

A solenoid valve is an electro-mechanically operated valve. The valve is controlled by an electric current through the solenoid.

The solenoid valve varies the control pressure depending on the current applied to the solenoid coil.

  • The solenoid valve control pressure is low with minimum current.
  • The solenoid valve control pressure increases with increasing current.

Q27B is part of the component:Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly

No external circuit diagnosis is involved.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  2. Perform the scan tool control function:Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2»On and Off

    Verify the scan tool parameter:

    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Pressure Control Solenoid Valve 2 Control Circuit Open Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • If not the specified state

      Refer to:Component Testing

    • If the specified state
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

    Verify the DTC does not set.

    • If the DTC sets

      Refer to: Circuit/System Testing

    • If the DTC is not set
  4. All OK.
Component Testing
  1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
  2. Remove the component:Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly
  3. Verify a condition does not exist with the component:Contamination with metallic debris
    • If a condition exists

      Repair or replace as necessary
