DTC P1861 Non-Europe or N. American Emissions
Circuit Description
The pressure control valves 3, 4, 5, and 6 are precision electronic pressure regulators that control the operation of the clutches, brakes, and 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 pressure control valves require a constant input pressure.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | Output voltage of the solenoid valve 4 is less than 2 volts. |
| • | No DTC P1862, P1863. |
| • | Immediately after the above condition occurs |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | 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 ignition OFF/ON: 3rd gear by hydraulic control. Possible P, R, and N also possible. |
| • | Power supply cut off to the pressure control solenoid valve. |
Conditions for Clearing the Hold Lamp/DTC
| • | 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. |
Diagnostic Aids
When DTC P1861 sets, the possible cause of fault could be the pressure control valve 4.
