What are the Possible Causes of the DTC P0777 GMC?

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Low transmission fluid level
  • Dirty transmission fluid
  • Faulty Control Solenoid Valve Assembly
  • Control Solenoid Valve Assembly harness or connectors
  • Control Solenoid Valve Assembly circuit is open or shorted

Code Tech Notes

When a transmission solenoid has malfunctioned, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is dirty, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid and if possible, remove the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a mechanical transmission failure, and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.

What Does the P0777 GMC Code Mean?

The clutch pressure control solenoid valve 2 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly, which has no serviceable parts. The pressure control solenoid valve 2 regulates transmission fluid pressure to the 3-5-Reverse clutch regulator valve which controls pressure to the 3-5-Reverse clutch. The Transmission Control Module calculates the gear ratio based on the RPM signals from the input speed sensor (ISS) and the output speed sensor (OSS). The Transmission Control Module compares the expected transmission gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for each commanded gear. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Transmission Control Module has detected an incorrect gear ratio change when the 3-5-R clutch is commanded OFF during a shift or when 3rd gear ratio is detected in 1st gear. This condition must occur 3 times.
