Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Circuit Open (P074513)
DESCRIPTION Changing from 1st to 6th is performed by the ECM turning shift solenoid valves SL1, SL2, SL3 and SL4 on and off. If an open or short circuit occurs in any of the shift solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal shift solenoid valves to allow the vehicle to be operated ...

Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Actuator Stuck Off (P07457F)
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The ECM uses the vehicle speed signal and signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, SP2) to detect the actual gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th gear). The ECM compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ECM memory to detect mechanical problems of t ...
