DTC

P0778

Pressure Control Solenoid ”B” Electrical
(Shift Solenoid Valve SL2)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Shifting from 1st to 5th is performed in combination with ”ON” and ”OFF” operation of the shift solenoid valves
SL1, SL2, S1, S2 and SR which are controlled by the ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the
shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be
operated smoothly (See page 

DI–567

).

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0778

The ECM checks for an open or short in the shift solenoid

valve SL2 circuit while driving and shifting gears. (1–trip detec-

tion logic)

Output signal duty equals to 100%. 
(NOTE: SL2 output signal duty is less than 100% under nor-
mal condition.)

Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit

Shift solenoid valve SL2

ECM

MONITOR 

DESCRIPTION

This DTC indicates an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit. The ECM commands gear shift
by turning the shift solenoid valves ”ON/OFF”. When there is an open or short circuit in any shift solenoid
valve circuit, the ECM detects the problem and illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. And the ECM per-
forms the fail–safe function and turns the other normal shift solenoid valves ”ON/OFF”. (In case of an open
or short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the circuit.)
While driving and shifting gears, if the ECM detects an open or short in the shift solenoid valve SL2 circuit,
the ECM determines there is a malfunction (See page 

DI–567

).
