DTC Troubleshooting: P0963
DTC P0963: A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve A
NOTE:
Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot with the HDS, and review the General Troubleshooting Information.
This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
If DTC P0963 is stored in the PCM, the transmission does not shift to 2nd or 5th gear because of the fail-safe function.
