When to replace a p0872 transmission fluid pressure sensor?

When to replace a p0872 transmission fluid pressure sensor?

If the ohmmeter readings do not pass, replace the TFPS. If all prior tests have passed and you continue to get a P0872, this would most likely indicate a failed TFPS sensor, although a failed PCM/TCM could not be ruled out, nor could internal transmission malfunctions until the TFPS sensor had been replaced.

Where can I get an Allison Transmission serviced?

What does p0872 stand for in electrical circuit?

P0872 is typically an electrical circuit (TFPS sensor circuit) issue. This cannot be overlooked in the troubleshooting stage, especially when dealing with an intermittent problem.

What happens when you get the po872 code?

P0872 has shown that in most cases trucks that set this code have had a cracked transmission adapter housing. Bulletin 03-07-30-031 contains details on the adapter housing repair. Cracks in the adapter housing can allow dirt and sand to enter the transmission resulting in stuck shift valves in the valve body.

If the ohmmeter readings do not pass, replace the TFPS. If all prior tests have passed and you continue to get a P0872, this would most likely indicate a failed TFPS sensor, although a failed PCM/TCM could not be ruled out, nor could internal transmission malfunctions until the TFPS sensor had been replaced.

What does p0872 mean on a pressure switch?

Pressure switch E, usualy means a stuck E shift valve. P0872 has shown that in most cases trucks that set this code have had a cracked transmission adapter housing. Bulletin 03-07-30-031 contains details on the adapter housing repair.

What causes DTC p1711 to change to p0872?

Over torquing the Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch (TFP) may result in shorting out the TFP and setting DTC P1711 or P0872. If the “E” switch changes to OFF, the condition may be intermittent and the DTC flow chart should be followed to see if another condition can be found for the DTC P1711 or P0872.
