DTC P0763 SHIFT SOLENOID “C” ELECTRICAL

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Output signal circuit of high clutch duty solenoid is open or shorted.

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Excessive shift shock

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2) Disconnect the connectors from TCM and transmission.

3) Measure the resistance of the harness between TCM connector and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 6 — (B11) No. 7:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the open circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

2.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of the harness connector between TCM connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B54) No. 6 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

3.CHECK HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID.

Measure the resistance between transmission connector receptacle’s terminals.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — No. 20:

Is the resistance 2.0 — 6.0 Ω?

4.CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.

1) Connect the connectors to TCM and transmission.

2) Lift up the vehicle.

3) Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data link connector.

4) Start the engine.

5) Run the Subaru Select Monitor.

6) Warm up the engine until the ATF temperature exceeds 80°C (176°F).

NOTE:

If the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F), drive the vehicle until the ATF reaches its operating temperature.

7) Read the data of “High Clutch Duty” using Subaru Select Monitor.

8) Set the select lever to the “D” range, and slowly increase vehicle speed to measure in 3rd or 4th gear.

NOTE:

The speed difference between the front and rear wheels will illuminate the ABS warning light or VDC warning light, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If the warning light illuminates, delete the ABS or VDC memory after completing the AT control diagnosis.

Is the measured value 0%?

5.CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.

Return the engine speed to idling and set the select lever to the “N” range.

NOTE:

The speed difference between the front and rear wheels will illuminate the ABS warning light or VDC warning light, but this does not indicate a malfunction. If the warning light illuminates, delete the ABS or VDC memory after completing the AT control diagnosis.

Is the measured value 100%?

Check for poor contact in the TCM and transmission harness or connectors, and repair the fault location.

6.CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.

Is there poor contact in high clutch duty solenoid circuit?

Repair the poor contact.

Replace the TCM.

7.CHECK HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID (IN TRANSMISSION).

1) Remove the transmission connector from bracket.

2) Drain the automatic transmission fluid.

CAUTION:

Do not drain ATF until it cools down.

3) Remove the oil pan, and disconnect the connector from control valve body.

4) Measure the resistance between high clutch duty solenoid connector and transmission ground.

Connector & terminal

(AT2) No. 3 — Transmission ground:

Is the resistance 2.0 — 6.0 Ω?

Replace the control valve body.

8.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of harness between high clutch duty solenoid and transmission connector.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — (AT2) No. 3:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Repair the open circuit of harness between TCM and transmission connector.

9.CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN HIGH CLUTCH DUTY SOLENOID AND TRANSMISSION.

Measure the resistance of harness between transmission connector and transmission ground.

Connector & terminal

(T4) No. 7 — Transmission ground:

Is the resistance 1 MΩ or more?

Check for poor contact in the high clutch duty solenoid and transmission harness or connectors, and repair the fault location.

Repair the short circuit of harness between high clutch duty solenoid and transmission connector.
