AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM(for 2GR-FSE), Diagnostic DTC:P0873

DTC Code DTC Name
P0873 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor / Switch "C" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The oil pressure switch, which is built into the valve body, detects the fluid pressure of the SL1 fluid pressure circuit. If shift solenoid valve SL1 is stuck ON, P0873 is output.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0873 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor / Switch "C" Circuit High

  1. Diagnosis Condition


    • ECT is 40°C (104°F) or more, ATF temperature is -10°C (14°F) or more, and the vehicle is driven with the shift lever in D (no malfunctions are detected in shift solenoid valve SL1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, SR, transmission revolution sensors (NT, NC3, SP2), water temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, knock control sensor, electronic throttle, or CAN2)

  2. Malfunction Status


    • When the actual gear is 6th to 8th gear, the oil pressure switch is ON

  3. Malfunction Time


    • Malfunction status occurs 2 times (1 trip)

  4. Other


    • 2 trip detection logic

  • Shift solenoid valve SL1

  • Oil pressure switch

  • Transmission wire

  • Harness and connector

  • TCM

  • Valve body assembly
