Pinpoint Test H: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor "A" And "B" DTCS

  1. Refer to TRANSMISSION CONTROLS - 8F35 for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    Transmission Fluid Pressure (TFP) sensors for clutch A (TFP A) and B (TFP B) have been added to improve diagnostic capability for non-electrical (stuck solenoid or control valve) faults. The TFP sensors provide a voltage proportional to the absolute hydraulic pressure in the transmission clutch control circuit using a piezo-resistive silicon sensing element. Pressure readings are used to monitor the status of specified clutch systems during operation. The typical operating output range is 0.5V to 4.5V. The pressure sensor is typically mounted on the transmission main control assembly with a dedicated feed port. TFP A sensor measures A clutch pressure, TFP B sensor measures B clutch pressure.

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    PCM P0840:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects a circuit fault on TFP A. It sets with DTCs P0842 or P0843, and is used to light the wrench light.
    PCM P0841:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Range/Performance: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if clutch A applies and releases as commanded, but the measured pressure from TFP A does not follow the commanded pressure for clutch A. Measured pressure is stuck high or low while clutch A applies and releases as commanded (as measured by speed sensors).
    PCM P0842:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects that TFP A sensor voltage is out of range low.
    PCM P0843:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects that TFP A sensor voltage is out of range high.
    PCM P0845:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects a circuit fault on TFP B. It sets with P0847 or P0848, and is used to light the wrench light.
    PCM P0846:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit Range/Performance: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects the B clutch is stuck off due to a non-electrical fault. Multiple attempts to apply the B clutch have failed.
    PCM P0847:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if the PCM detects that TFP B sensor voltage is out of range low.
    PCM P0848:00 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit High: No Sub Type Information This DTC sets if clutch B applies and releases as commanded, but the measured pressure from TFP B does not follow the commanded pressure for clutch B. Measured pressure is stuck high or low while clutch B applies and releases as commanded (as measured by speed sensors).
