2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0987 indicates that there is an issue with the circuit that controls the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'E', resulting in a low signal reading. This may lead to abnormal shifting and poor transmission performance.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Abnormal shifting and poor transmission performance

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Transmission slipping or delayed engagement

  • Harsh or erratic shifting

  • Reduced fuel efficiency

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'E'

  • Damaged or corroded wiring in the circuit

  • Loose or broken electrical connections

  • Failed transmission control module (TCM)

Related Parts:

  • Hydraulic Pressure Sensor: Hydraulic oil is needed for the gear lubrication system. This sensor measures oil pressure. This car's sensor has a problem which may cause difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

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

  • Inspect and repair any damaged wiring or connections

  • Tighten or replace any loose or broken electrical connections

  • Replace the transmission control module (TCM) if necessary
