Code No. P0847: Malfunction of Primary Pressure Sensor (low input)




DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION


The CVT-ECU determines that the system is defective when the primary pressure sensor output voltage is lower than a predetermined value.

JUDGEMENT CRITERIA


The primary pressure sensor detects a voltage of 0.09 V or less for five seconds with the CVT fluid temperature more than -20°C.

PROBABLE CAUSES




DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. Voltage measurement at CVT-ECU connector (PRPS terminal)


(1)Drive the vehicle until the engine is warmed up.
(2)Measure the CVT-ECU connector side by backprobing.
(3)Selector lever position: N
(4)Engine: Idling
(5)Measure the voltage between the CVT-ECU connector (PRPS terminal) and body earth.

Q. Is the voltage approximately 0.09 V or less?

Go to Step 2
Go to Step 8

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at CVT assembly connector (SSPW terminal)


(1)Disconnect the CVT assembly connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3)Measure the voltage between the CVT assembly connector (SSPW terminal) and body earth.
OK: approx. 5 V

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4
NO : Go to Step 3

STEP 3. Check for open circuit or short to earth in SSPW line between the CVT assembly connector and the CVT-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9.
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Check for open circuit or short to earth in PRPS line between the CVT assembly connector and the CVT-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.

STEP 5. Check for open circuit in SGND line between the CVT assembly connector and the CVT-ECU connector


Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 6
Repair the connector(s) or the wiring harness.

STEP 6. Check for open circuit or short to earth in signal line between the CVT assembly connector and the valve body harness connector (primary pressure sensor line)


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 7
Replace the valve body harness (Refer to ).

STEP 7. Check for open circuit or short to earth in power supply line between the CVT assembly connector and the valve body harness connector (sensor power supply line)


Refer to .

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the valve body assembly (Refer to ).
Replace the valve body harness (Refer to ).

STEP 8. Voltage measurement at CVT-ECU connector (PRPS terminal)


(1)Drive the vehicle until the engine is warmed up.
(2)Measure the CVT-ECU connector side by backprobing.
(3)Selector lever position: N
(4)Engine: Idling
(5)Measure the voltage between the CVT-ECU connector (PRPS terminal) and body earth.
OK: approx. 0.90 - 0.92 V

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9
Replace the valve body assembly (Refer to ).

STEP 9. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code


Q. Is the diagnosis code set?

Replace the CVT-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction.
