P0963

DTC P0963: Line Pressure Solenoid System (Short to power supply)

CAUTION:

- If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
- Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the line pressure solenoid circuit is normal.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The line pressure solenoid circuit is determined to be short to power supply.

MONITOR EXECUTION

- Continuous

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (OTHER MONITOR AND SENSOR)

Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory for the item monitored below)

- P0746: Line pressure solenoid system (Drive current range out)
- P0960: Line pressure solenoid system (Open circuit)
- P0961: Line pressure solenoid system (Overvoltage)
- P0962: Line pressure solenoid system (Short to ground)

LOGIC FLOW CHARTS (Monitor Sequence)





DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

- Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.
- Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.
- Line pressure solenoid: OFF.
JUDGMENT CRITERIA

- FET (Field Effect Transistor) output: (Battery voltage - 2 V) or more. (1 second)

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The FET channel output remains (Battery voltage - 2 V) or less for 1 second.

PROBABLE CAUSES

- Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU
- Malfunction of line pressure solenoid

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958 Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827 M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910 M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics

Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 2.
NO Repair the CAN bus lines. CAN Bus Diagnostics Chart.) After repairing the CAN bus line, go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.

After 5 or more seconds have passed with the ignition switch ON position, check that the DTC is reset.

Q. Is DTC No. P0963 set?

YES Replace the transaxle assembly. (Refer to Removal and Replacement.)
NO Intermittent malfunction. How to Cope With Intermittent Malfunctions.)
