3. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

• Detect the ground short circuit of the transmission line pressure sensor.

• Judge as NG if the voltage detected by the transmission line pressure sensor is lower than the predetermined value.

4. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary Parameters	Execution condition
12 V battery system voltage	≥ 9 V

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
Measured line pressure sensor input voltage	< 0.195 V
(Line pressure)	(< − 574 kPa)

Time Needed for Diagnosis: 0.5 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
