P0996

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0996 indicates an intermittent issue in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F' circuit. This sensor/switch is responsible for monitoring the fluid pressure within the transmission. The code is triggered when the signal from the sensor/switch is intermittently disrupted or inconsistent.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Intermittent illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light.

  • Occasional abnormal shifting behavior, such as harsh or delayed shifts.

  • Inconsistent or unpredictable transmission performance.

  • Other related intermittent fault codes may be present.

Possible Causes:

  • Loose or poor electrical connection in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F' circuit

  • Wiring or connector problem in the sensor/switch circuit

  • Intermittent fault in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F'

  • Faulty 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:

  • Inspect the wiring and connectors in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F' circuit for any damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Repair or replace as needed.

  • Check for any intermittent faults in the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch 'F'. Replace if necessary.

  • Verify the proper operation of the transmission control module (TCM) and perform any required repairs or updates.
