2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0986 indicates that there is a range/performance issue with the circuit that controls the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'E'. This fault code may cause the transmission to shift poorly or not at all.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Transmission shifting poorly or not at all

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Harsh or delayed shifting

  • Reduced acceleration or power output

Possible Causes:

  • Failed transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'E'

  • Faulty wiring or connections in the circuit

  • Loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Failed transmission control module (TCM)

Related Parts:

  • Shift Solenoid: It helps to change gears in automatic transmission cars. A bad solenoid causes difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'E'

  • Check and repair any damaged wiring or connections

  • Tighten or clean any loose or corroded electrical connections

  • Replace the transmission control module (TCM) if necessary
