On-Board Diagnostics

_____________________________________________

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The TCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).

• The transmission fails to hydraulic default.

• DTC P0872 will be stored in TCM history.

• The TCM freezes shift adapts.

• The TCM inhibits torque converter clutch (TCC) engagement.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A scan tool can clear the code from TCM history. The TCM automatically clears the DTC from TCM history if the vehicle com-
pletes 40 warm-up cycles without failure.

Diagnostic Aids

• Inspect the wiring for poor electrical connections at the TCM. Inspect for the following conditions:

• A bent terminal

• A backed-out terminal

• A damaged terminal

• Poor terminal tension

• A chafed wire

• A broken wire inside the insulation

• When diagnosing for an intermittent short or open, massage the wiring harness while watching the test equipment for a

change.

• You may have to drive the vehicle in order to experience a condition.

• This DTC may indicate that E solenoid is mechanically defective.

When a P0872 and P0870 are set in combination, this may indicate a short to ground is present at the pressure switch circuit or

the shift valve is stuck in the stroked state.

DTC P0873 Transmission Pressure Switch Solenoid E Circuit High (Figure OBD-95)

Figure OBD-95: Transmission Pressure Switch Solenoid E Circuit

Circuit Description

The pressure switch manifold (PSM) is a multiple-switch assembly made up of three normally open (N/O) and one normally closed
(N/C) pressure switches. The E pressure switch monitors E shift valve positioning and relays it to the transmission control module
(TCM). When E pressure switch is in the open state, E shift valve should be in the unstroked position.

DTC P0873 is a type A DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

DTC P0873 sets during steady state operation when E solenoid is commanded ON and E pressure switch fails to switch ON after
0.1 second of E solenoid being commanded ON.
