DTC Troubleshooting: P0989
DTC P0989: Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch E (6th Clutch) Circuit Low
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 P0989 is stored in the PCM, the transmission does not shift to any gear other than 3rd or 6th gear because of the fail-safe function.
