The pressure control valves (PCS) valves 3, 4, 5, and 6 are precision electronic pressure regulators that control the operation of the clutches, brakes, and lock-up clutch.
The valve reduces the system pressure with which the downstream solenoid valves and the electrical pressure regulating valves are supplied. As a result, smaller solenoid valves may be used. The PCS requires a constant input pressure.
| • | Output voltage of the PCS 3, at ON, is 12 volts. |
| • | No DTC P1839, P1841. |
| • | Immediately after the above condition occurs |
| • | The hold lamp will blink. |
| • | The transmission control module (TCM) will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in the Failure Records buffer. |
| • | Adopt Emergency/Substitute mode and constant 4th gear by hydraulic control. |
| • | After ignition OFF/ON: 3rd gear by hydraulic control. P, R and N also possible. |
| • | Power supply cut off to the PCS valve. |
| • | The hold lamp will turn OFF when the malfunction has not occurred after 3 ignition cycles. |
| • | A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault. |
| • | Using a scan tool can clear history DTCs. |
When DTC P1840 sets, the possible cause of the fault could be the PCS 3 valve.
