DTC Troubleshooting: P0962 (16-3)
DTC P0962:
A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A (Open or Short)
NOTE:
- Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review the General Troubleshooting Information How To Troubleshoot The A/T System.
- This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Start the engine in P, and wait for at least 1 second.
4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0962 indicated?
YES -
Go to step 8.
NO -
Go to step 5.
5. Select Clutch Pressure Control (Linear) Solenoid Valve A in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and test A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate NORMAL?
YES -
Go to step 6.
NO -
Go to step 8.
6. In the Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Control menu, select A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A at 1.0 A.
7. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0962 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate FAILED?
YES -
Go to step 8.
NO -
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 5.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Disconnect the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector.
10. Measure the resistance between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
Is there 3-10 Ohms?
YES -
Go to step 11.
NO -
Replace A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A And B Replacement, then go to step 24.
11. Check for continuity between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to step 12.
NO -
Repair an open in the wire between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and body ground (G101), or repair poor body ground (G101), then go to step 21.
12. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
13. Disconnect PCM connector C (49P).
14. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C21 and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector terminal No. 1.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to step 15.
NO -
Repair an open in the wire between PCM connector terminal C21 and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, then go to step 21.
15. Check for continuity between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Repair a short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal C21 and A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A, then go to step 21.
NO -
Go to step 16.
16. Reconnect all connectors.
17. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software PCM Update, or substitute a known-good PCM.
18. Start the engine in P, and wait for at least 1 second.
19. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0962 indicated?
YES -
Check for poor connections or loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 18. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO -
Go to step 20.
20. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0962 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES -
If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM PCM Replacement (Except FFV Model). If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 19, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO -
If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 18. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 18.
21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
23. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
24. Start the engine in P, and wait for at least 1 second.
25. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0962 indicated?
YES -
Check for poor connections or loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM, then go to step 1.
NO -
Go to step 26.
26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0962 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES -
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 25, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO -
If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 24.
