DTC P0845: Problem in 3rd Clutch Pressure Switch Circuit

NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).





2. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D13 and B20 or B22.
Is there battery voltage?
YES-Go to step 7.
NO-Go to step 3.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect PCM connector D (16P).
5. Disconnect the 3rd clutch pressure switch connector.





6. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal D13 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES-Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal D13 and the 3rd clutch pressure switch.
NO-Go to step 14.
7. Raise the vehicle, and allow the wheels to rotate freely.
8. Start the engine, then shift to the HI position and let the wheels spin in 3rd gear for more than 5 seconds.





9. Measure the voltage between PCM connector terminals D13 and B20 or B22.
Is there about 0 V?
YES-Check for loose terminal fit in the PCM connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck.
NO-Go to step 10.
10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
11. Disconnect the 3rd clutch pressure switch connector.
12. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).





13. Measure the voltage between the 3rd clutch pressure switch connector terminal (harness side) and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES-Go to step 14.
NO-Repair open in the wire between the 3rd clutch pressure switch and the PCM.





14. Measure the resistance between the 3rd clutch pressure switch connector terminal (switch side) and body ground.
Is the resistance 10 M Ohms or more?
YES-Check for loose terminal fit in the PCM connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck.
NO- Replace the 3rd clutch pressure switch.
