P0993

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0993 indicates a range or performance issue in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F' circuit. This sensor/switch is responsible for monitoring the fluid pressure within the transmission. The range/performance problem suggests that the electrical signal or the sensor/switch's output is outside the expected range or not functioning properly.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated.

  • Abnormal transmission shifting behavior.

  • Harsh or delayed shifting between gears.

  • Reduced performance or power from the transmission.

  • Other associated transmission

  • related fault codes may be present.

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F'

  • Wiring or electrical connection problems in the circuit

  • Corroded or damaged connectors

  • Open or short circuit in the wiring

  • Malfunctioning transmission control module (TCM)

  • Problems with the transmission fluid pump

  • Low or contaminated transmission fluid

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:

  • Inspect the wiring and electrical connections in the circuit for any damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary.

  • Test and replace the faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F', if necessary.

  • Verify the functionality of the transmission control module (TCM). Replace if it is determined to be defective.

  • Inspect the transmission fluid pump for any issues or malfunctions. Repair or replace as necessary.

  • Check the transmission fluid level and quality. Drain and replace if low or contaminated.
