The pressure control solenoid (PCS) valves 3, 4, 5, and 6, are precision electronic pressure regulators that control the operation of the clutches, the brakes, and the lock-up clutch.
The valve reduces the system pressure with which the downstream solenoid valves and electrical pressure regulating valves are supplied. It is possible to use smaller solenoid valves as a result. The PCS requires a constant input pressure.
• | If the voltage applied to the high side driver is higher than the threshold, 6 V, with the high side driver switch OFF status, then a fault is detected. |
• | No DTC P1870 is set. |
• | The hold lamp will blink. |
• | The transmission control module (TCM) will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in the Failure Records buffer. |
• | Adopt Emergency/Substitute mode and constant 4th gear by hydraulic control. |
• | After the ignition is OFF/ON: 3rd gear by hydraulic control. Possible P, R, and N are also possible. |
• | The power supply is cut off to the PCS valve. |
• | The hold lamp will turn OFF when the malfunction has not occurred after 3 ignition cycles. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault. |
• | Using a scan tool can clear history DTCs. |
When DTC P1871 sets, the possible cause of the fault could be the PCS valve power supply line.
