Toyota Corolla (E120): Shift solenoid ”a” performance (shift solenoid valve s1)
Dtc p0751 shift solenoid ”a” performance (shift solenoid valve s1)
System description
The ecm uses signals from the vehicle speed sensor and crankshaft position sensor to detect the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or o/d gear).
Then the ecm compares the actual gear with the shift schedule in the ecm memory to detect the mechanical trouble of the shift solenoid valves, the valve body or automatic transaxle (clutch, brake or gear etc.).
Monitor description
The ecm commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves ”on/off”. According to the input shaft revolution, intermediate (counter) shaft revolution and output shaft revolution, the ecm detects the actual gear position (1st, 2nd, 3rd or o/d gear position). When the gear position commanded by the ecm and the actual gear position are not same, the ecm illuminates the mil.

Inspection procedure
Hand–held tester:
1 Check operation of stop light
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is
depressed and released.
2 Inspect stop light switch assy
Check the resistance between the terminals when the
switch is turned on and off.

Circuit description
The ignition switch provides circuit power and the ecm provides the circuit
ground that illuminates the mil.
Mil operation is checked visually:
it should be illuminated when the ignition is first turned on. If the mil is off
all of the time or on all of the time,
use the procedure below to ...
