DTC P1744: Problem in Shift Control System; Shift Valve E Stuck ON: General Description
Shift valve E is incorporated in the control circuit of the transmission. It is controlled by pressure from shift solenoid valve B, and it is locked by the line pressure. It switches off when shift solenoid valve B turns off and shift solenoid valve A turns on. The PCM monitors the mainshaft speed and the countershaft speed at the gear change determined by the shift schedule. When an improper gear ratio is output compared to the predetermined gear change mode, a shift valve E ON failure is detected and a DTC is stored.
