DTC P0962  : A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Open or Short)

NOTE:
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0962 A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Open or Short)      

DTC (A/T)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P0962 A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Open or Short)      

    Is DTC P0962 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Fuse check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check the following fuse.

    Fuse No. C5 (7.5 A)
    Location Under-hood fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse OK?

    YES 

    The fuse is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Replace the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse, and recheck. If the fuse blows again, repair a short to ground on the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse circuit, and recheck.

  3. Open wire check (IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015),

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A)
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 1 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) wire between the PCM and the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.

  4. Determine possible failure area (short in LSA line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Reconnect PCM connector A (51P).

    - 3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems

    - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit LSA
    Test point 1 PCM connector B (51P) No. 6 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH319337Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  5. Shorted wire check (LSA line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit LSA
    Test point 1 A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector No. 2 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH319338Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the LSA wire between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM.

    NO 

    The LSA wire is OK. Faulty A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A. Replace the secondary valve body (A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A) .

  6. Open wire check (LSA line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit LSA
    Test point 1 A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A 2P connector No. 2 (RED)
