DTC Troubleshooting: P0982 (60-3)

DTC P0982:

Short in Shift Solenoid Valve D Circuit

• Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review General Troubleshooting Information.
• This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

1.	Clear the DTC with the HDS.

2.	Test-drive the vehicle for several minute in 1st and 2nd gears in the S position by pressing the steering wheel shift switches.

3.	Check that DTC P0982 recurs. Is DTC P0982 indicated? YES - Go to 7. NO - Go to 4.

4.	Choose Shift Solenoid D in Miscellaneous Test Menu, and test the shift solenoid valve D with the HDS. Is the system normal? YES - Go to 5. NO - Go to 7.

5.	Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in 1st and 2nd gears in the S position by pressing the steering wheel shift switches.

6.

Monitor the OBD status for P0982 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail. Does the result indicate FAILED? YES - Go to 7. NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check the SH D (GRN/RED) wire for an intermittent short to ground between shift solenoid valve E and the PCM. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETED, return to 4 and recheck.n

7.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

8.	Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

9.	Disconnect PCM connectors B (44P) and C (44P).

10.

Measure resistance between PCM connector terminals B26 and C40 or C44.   Is there less than 12 W? YES - Go to 11. NO - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original  PCM.n

11.	Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector.

12.	Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals B26 and C40 or C44.   Is there continuity? YES - Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal B26 and the shift solenoid harness connector, then go to 14. NO - Go to 13.

13.

Inspect shift solenoid valve D. Is shift solenoid valve D OK? YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original  PCM.n NO - Replace shift solenoid valve D or shift solenoid harness, then go to 14.

14.	Clear the DTC with the HDS.

15.	Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in 1st and 2nd gears in the S position by pressing the steering wheel shift switches.

16.	Monitor the OBD status for P0982 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail. Does the result indicate PASSED? YES - Troubleshooting is complete.n NO - Return to 7 and recheck.
