What are the Possible Causes of the DTC P0745 Suzuki?

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 line pressure solenoid valve
  • Line pressure solenoid valve harness is open or shorted
  • Line pressure solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection

Code Tech Notes

When a transmission solenoid is 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 removing 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 is the Cost to Diagnose the Code?

Labor: 1.0

The cost to diagnose the P0745 Suzuki code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

When is the Code Detected?

The P0745 is detected when TCM detects an improper voltage drop when it tries to operate the solenoid valve.

What are Code Possible Symptoms?

  • Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
  • Transmission shift shock

What Does the P0745 Suzuki Code Mean?

The Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Valve an electronic pressure regulator that controls transmission line pressure based on current flow through its coil windings. As current flow is increased, the magnetic field produced by the coil moves the solenoid’s plunger further away from the exhaust port. Opening the exhaust port decreases the output fluid pressure regulated by the PC solenoid valve, which ultimately decreases line pressure. The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to a signal sent from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
