Common Diagnostic Steps
OBD2 Code: P087C
Description: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor B Circuit Range/Performance Problem
- Check the transmission fluid level and condition. Ensure it is at the correct level and not contaminated.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections in the transmission fluid pressure sensor circuit.
- Test the transmission fluid pressure sensor using a multimeter to ensure it is functioning within specifications.
- Examine the transmission control module (TCM) for any fault codes that may indicate an issue with related components.
- Perform a visual inspection of the transmission for any signs of leaks or mechanical damage.
- If equipped, use a scan tool to monitor live data from the transmission fluid pressure sensor to verify its performance under various operating conditions.
- If necessary, replace the faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor or repair any damaged wiring/connectors.
