DTC P0965 (Flash Code 37) Pressure Control Solenoid B (SL2) Control Circuit Performance (AWR6B45)

1. DTC P0965 description

Clutch control solenoid (SL2) is installed on the valve body assembly and adjusts the C2 clutch control oil pressure. The TCM controls clutch control solenoid (SL2) based on the information of the vehicle speed, accelerator opening position, brake signals, etc. When the clutch control solenoid is activated, the TCM accumulates the difference between the required solenoid current and the actual solenoid current as a feedback error current. If the TCM detects an abnormal clutch control solenoid (SL2) feedback error current, the DTC is set.
