Hi all. My 98 Riv threw a code P1811. Can anyone confirm if this is indeed the line pressure solenoid? And if so, how difficult is it to replace?

Thanks!

Not necessarily Yards. There is a code description and diagnostic in volume 3 of the FSM, pages 7-90 to 7-94. If you don't have the FSM, I can scan the pages and send them to you later.

It's the code that sets when the PCS goes bad, yes. Here's the complete diagnostic table of it.
This is the same code that my Aztek was setting. It's either the Valve Body, or the solenoid. Mine happened to be the solenoid. Same with the Riv.....same trans

DTC P1811 Maximum Adapt and Long Shift

Circuit Description
The transmission pressure is modified by an adaptive modifier which controls the shift execution time. This test checks the time required to accomplish the shift. If the shift takes longer than 0.65 seconds, and the adaptive modifier cannot shorten this time, then a counter increases by one.

If the PCM detects the counter reaching two, then DTC P1811 sets. DTC P1811 is a type D DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
Any combination of the following fail cases are true two times within one ignition cycle.

Case 1
•The 1–2 shift is longer than 0.65 seconds.
•The 1–2 shift adapt has reached its limit.
Case 2
•The 2–3 shift is longer than 0.65 seconds.
•The 2–3 shift adapt has reached its limit.
Case 3
•The 3–4 shift is longer than 0.65 seconds.
•The 3–4 shift adapt has reached its limit.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
•The PCM commands maximum line pressure.
•The PCM disables shift adapts.
•The PCM does not illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
•A scan tool can clear the DTC from the PCM history. The PCM clears the DTC from the PCM history if the vehicle completes 40 warm-up cycles without a failure reported.
•The PCM cancels the DTC default actions when the fault no longer exists and the ignition is OFF long enough in order to power down the PCM.
Diagnostic Aids
•Inspect for possible vehicle overloading, exceeding trailer towing limit, or towing in overdrive.
•Ensure that the PCM has the latest update.
•If you performed a transmission overhaul, use the scan tool to clear all adapts.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

7.This step inspects components located within the valve body, if the fluid pressure gauge readings do not match the commanded PC Sol. Valve current to line pressure located in the value column.
9.This step inspects or repairs any of the components listed. A faulty component may lead to a maximum adapt and long shift during a 1-2 upshift.
11.This step inspects or repairs any of the components listed. A faulty component may lead to a maximum adapt and long shift during a 2-3 upshift.
13.This step inspects or repairs any of the components listed. A faulty component may lead to a maximum adapt and long shift during a 3-4 upshift.

 1. Install the Scan Tool.
 2. Turn the ignition switch to the Run position.
 3. The engine is not running.
Important: Before clearing the DTCs, use the Scan Tool in order to record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference. The Clear Info function will erase the data.

 4. Record the Freeze Frame and Failure Records, then clear the DTC(s).
Are any of the following DTCs set: P0120, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0218, P0502, P0503, P0711, P0712, P1121, P1122 or P1524?

Go to Step 4
Go to Step 5

 1. Use the Scan Tool snapshot mode in order to record the shift times.
 2. Drive the vehicle in D4 in order to obtain a 1-2, a 2-3, and 3-4 upshift.
 3. Record the shift times.
Did all the shift times exceed the specified value?
0.65 seconds
Go to Step 6
Go to Step 8
