Typical Line Pressure Problems

TYPICAL LINE PRESSURE PROBLEMS INCLUDE:
- Mechanical and "actual" readings both less than desired
- If the mechanical and "actual" readings do not increase significantly as engine speed is raised above 2000 rpm, the pressure control solenoid is usually at fault. The pressure control solenoid is usually accompanied by DTCs P0867(C8) and P0868(C9). The PCS is located in the Transmission Solenoid/TRS assembly.
- If the mechanical and "actual" readings vary with engine speed (above 2000 rpm), the fault is often a sticking main regulator valve. This valve is located in the transmission pump assembly.
- "Actual" reading on the DRBIII differs from the Mechanical Pressure reading (higher or lower) by more than 69 kPa (10 PSI). This is sometimes accompanied by a DTC P0869(CB). The fault is usually in the Line Pressure Sensor or the Line Pressure Sensor Wiring.
- All three readings match, but the "actual" reading exhibits momentary intermittent pressure increases to 1724 kPa (250 PSI). The line Pressure Sensor is usually the problem. This will cause erratic shift quality (particularly a harsh 3-1 coast down shift), repair by replacing the Line Pressure Sensor.
