DTC P0962: Problem in A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A Circuit




General Description
A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A is used for clutch pressure control and lock-up control. A spool in A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A pushes a valve according to the duty cycle that is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to pressurize fluid so the hydraulic pressure is proportional to the current. The PCM measures the current flowing through A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve A and uses feedback control to compensate the difference between the actual current and the commanded one. If the measured current for the PCM output duty cycle is not within a specified range (open or short), a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the PCM memory.

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
