DTC P0963: Malfunction of the Line Pressure Solenoid Valve (open)
 
 
 
 
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The TCM monitors the line pressure solenoid valve circuit for open or short to power supply.
 
 
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
  • All the conditions listed below remain for 0.2 seconds.
    • The line pressure solenoid valve command current is 750 mA or more.
    • The line pressure solenoid valve current, which the TCM monitors, is 200 mA or less.
    • The solenoid valve drive circuit is not shorted to ground.
  • All the conditions listed below remain for 0.2 seconds.
    • The solenoid valve drive circuit is not shorted to ground.
    • The solenoid valve drive circuit system is defective.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
  • Voltage of battery: 10 volts or more.
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR)

DTC SET CONDITIONS
Check Conditions
  • Voltage of battery: 10 volts or more.
Judgment Criteria
  • Line pressure solenoid valve actual current: 200 mA or less (0.2 seconds).
  • Line pressure solenoid valve target current + F/B adjust value: 750 mA or more (0.2 seconds).
 
 
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Ignition switch: ON (start the engine and keep it for 5 seconds or more).
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Malfunction of the valve body assembly (Faulty line pressure solenoid valve)
  • Damaged wiring harness and connectors
  • Malfunction of TCM
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools
  • MB992006: Extra fine probe
STEP 1. Voltage measurement at TCM connector (PLLS terminal).
(1) Disconnect the TCM connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between the TCM connector (PLLS terminal) and body ground.
OK: 0 V
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
: Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness (PLLS line between the CVT assembly connector and the TCM connector).
 
STEP 2. Check for open circuit in PLLS line between the CVT assembly connector and the TCM connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.
 
STEP 3. Line pressure solenoid valve check.
Refer to .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.
 
STEP 4. Check for open circuit in power supply line between the CVT assembly connector and the valve body harness connector (line pressure solenoid valve line).
Refer to .
Is the check result normal?
Replace the valve body assembly (Refer to ).
Replace the valve body harness (Refer to ).
 
STEP 5. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnostic trouble code.
Is the diagnostic trouble code set?
Replace the TCM.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
