clutch regulator valve moves and pressure to the TFP switch 1 is exhausted through the 3-5 reverse clutch regulator valve.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0842 or P0843
* DTCs P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P0973, P0974, P0977, P1825 or P1915 are not set.
* Ignition voltage is 8.6 volts or greater.
* The transmission fluid temperature (TFT) is 0-120掳C (32-248掳F).
* Engine speed is 500 RPM or greater for 5 seconds.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0842
The TCM detects that the TFP switch 1 signal voltage remains LOW after the 3-5-R clutch transitions from a HIGH pressure state to a LOW
pressure state. The TCM counts each incident. The DTC sets when 35 counts are accumulated.
P0843
The TCM detects that the TFP switch 1 signal voltage remains HIGH after the 3-5-R clutch transitions from a LOW pressure state to a HIGH
pressure state. The TCM counts each incident. The DTC sets when 25 counts are accumulated.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0842 and P0843 are Type C DTCs.
* The TCM freezes transmission adaptive functions.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0842 and P0843 are Type C DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
A TFP switch may malfunction due to normal debris in the transmission fluid causing a TFP Switch DTC to intermittently set. This type of
condition should not be immediately noticeable to a customer, as the switch outputs are used for shift adaptive pressure and do not cause
transmission symptoms unless the switch malfunctions continuously for an extended period of time.
