P0841




P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW A

Description

Using the engine load (throttle position), the primary pulley revolution speed, and the secondary pulley revolution speed as input signal, TCM changes the operating pressure of the primary pulley and the secondary pulley and changes the groove width of the pulley to control the gear ratio.


CONSULT Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode

Remarks: Specification data are reference values.







On Board Diagnosis Logic

- This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.
- Diagnostic trouble code "P0841" with CONSULT is detected when secondary fluid pressure is too high compared with the commanded value while driving.


Possible Cause

- Secondary pressure sensor
- Harness or connectors (Sensor circuit is open or shorted.)
