The transmission fluid pressure (TFP) switch 1 is part of the control solenoid (w/body and TCM) valve assembly and is not serviced separately. The TCM supplies 12 volts to the TFP Switch 1 on the TFP Switch 1 signal circuit; the TFP Switch 1 has an internal case ground. TFP Switch 1 is normally closed, Low. When oil pressure is present at the TFP Switch 1, the switch is Open, High. The normally high clutch pressure control (PC) solenoid 2 controls the transmission fluid to the 3-5-R clutch. The TCM monitors the normally closed TFP Switch 1 signal circuit to determine the 3-5-R clutch status.
• | No DTCs P0120, P0711, P0712, or P0713. |
• | No DTCs P0965, P0966, P0967, P0968, P0969, P0970, or P0971. |
• | No DTCs P0973, P0974, P0976, P0977, P2719, P2720, P2728, P2729, or P2730. |
• | No DTCs P1825 or P1915. |
• | Ignition voltage is between 11-15 volts. |
• | The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is 20-150°C (68-302°F). |
The TCM detects that the TFP switch 1 signal voltage remains low, 0 volts when the 3-5-R clutch is commanded ON for 5 seconds.
The TCM detects that the TFP switch 1 signal voltage is high, 12 volts when the 3-5-R clutch is commanded OFF.
• | DTCs P0842 and P0843 are Type C DTCs. |
• | The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions. |
DTCs P0842 and P0843 are Type C DTCs.
Automatic Transmission Controls Schematics
If there are any other transmission related DTCs set, diagnose those DTCs first.
⇒ | If the TFP Switch 1 parameter does not change, perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection . |
⇒ | If no concerns are found, replace the control solenoid valve and TCM assembly. |
Perform the Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Inspection .
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
