DTC detection condition

Possible causes

P0962 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A (Pressure Control Solenoid A Control Circuit Low) The line pressure solenoid valve current is 200 mA or less continuously for 200 msec or more under the following diagnosis conditions:

Diagnosis conditions

  • Solenoid output current: 750 mA or more
  • GND short diagnosis of the solenoid drive circuit is satisfied.
  • TCM power supply voltage: More than 11 V
  • Harness or connector (Line pressure solenoid valve circuit is shorted to ground)
  • Line pressure solenoid valve

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.CHECK DTC DETECTION

  1. Start the engine and wait for 5 seconds or more.
  2. Check the first trip DTC.

Is “P0962” detected? YES >> Go to TM-201, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK CIRCUIT BETWEEN TCM AND CVT UNIT

  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect TCM connector and CVT unit connector.
  3. Check continuity between TCM harness connector terminal and ground.

result normal? Is the inspection
result normal? YES >> GO TO 2.

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.

2.CHECK LINE PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE

Check line pressure solenoid valve. Refer to TM-201, "Component Inspection".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".

NO >> Repair or replace malfunctioning parts.
