Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1) CHECK FOR RELATED DTCS
With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Are there any other line pressure related DTCs present?

Yes
1. Refer to the applicable Transmission Information and perform the appropriate symptom. Perform the test for P0934 and/or P0935 first if present.
No
1. Go to 2).
2) COMPARE ACTUAL LINE PRESSURE TO DESIRED LINE PRESSURE
CAUTION: Apply Parking Brake

Start the engine.

CAUTION: Firmly apply the brakes.

With the scan tool, monitor the Line Pressure, Desired Line Pressure and the TPS degrees.

While firmly applying the brakes, place the shifter in reverse, then slowly press the accelerator pedal to a TPS degree of 15°.

Compare the Line Pressure reading to the Desired Line Pressure reading on the scan tool.

Does the Line Pressure stay within ± 34 kPa or 5 psi of the Desired Line Pressure?

No
1. Go to 3).
Yes
1. Go to 5).
3) CHECK LINE PRESSURE CONNECTOR AND WIRING
Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, monitor the Line Pressure Sensor voltage while wiggling the wiring harness and connectors pertaining to the Line Pressure Sensor/Variable Force Solenoid Assembly.

Did the voltage remain steady while wiggling the wiring harness and connectors?

Yes
1. Go to 4).
No
1. Disconnect and properly reconnect the Line Pressure Sensor/Variable Force Solenoid Assembly connector. Inspect terminals and repair as necessary.
2. Perform 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
4) CHECK PCM AND WIRING
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.

Remove the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM.

CAUTION: Removal of the Ignition Switch Feed fuse from the TIPM will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.

WARNING: The Ignition Switch Feed fuse must be removed from the TIPM. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or death.

Install the Transmission Simulator, Miller tool #8333 and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.

With the Transmission Simulator select the "OFF" position on the "Input/Output Speed" switch.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, monitor the Line Pressure during the following step.

With the Transmission Simulator, turn the selector switch to each of the 3 Line Pressure positions.

NOTE: All three scan tool Line Pressure readings should be steady and ± 14 kPa or 2.0 psi (0.2 volts) of the reading specified on the Transmission Simulator.

Did the Line Pressure read within ± 14 kPa or 2.0 psi (0.2 volts) in all three positions?

Yes
1. Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for any Service Bulletins that may apply. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM per the Service Information. With the scan tool perform the Quick Learn procedure.
2. Perform 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Repair internal transmission and inspect the oil pump per the Service information and replace if necessary. If no problems are found, replace the Line Pressure Sensor/Variable Force Solenoid Assembly - possible cause is the Pressure Control Solenoid is stuck.
2. Perform 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
5) CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.

Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.

With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.

Check for any Service Bulletins that may apply.

Where there any problems found?

Yes
1. Repair as necessary.
2. Perform 40/41TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
No
1. Test Complete.
