DTC P1846 ATF PRESSURE SWITCH 6PFP:25240
DescriptionACS007G2
Fail-safe function to detect high and low reverse clutch solenoid valve condition.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueACS007G3
On Board Diagnosis LogicACS007G4

This is not an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “ATF PRES SW 6/CIRC” with CONSULT-II is detected when TCM detects that
actual gear ratio is normal, and relation between gear position and condition of ATF pressure switch 6 is
irregular during depressing accelerator pedal. (Other than during shift change)
Possible CauseACS007G5

ATF pressure switch 6

Harness or connectors
(Switch circuit is open or shorted.)
DTC Confirmation ProcedureACS007G6
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously performed, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
After the repair, perform the following procedure to confirm the malfunction is eliminated.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Start engine.
2. Accelerate vehicle to maintain the following conditions.
ACCELE POSI: 1.5/8 - 2.0/8
Selector lever: “D” position
Gear position: 2nd
3rd Gear (HLR/C ON/OFF)
Driving location: Driving the vehicle uphill (increased
engine load) will help maintain the driving conditions
required for this test.
3. Perform step “2” again.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF”, then perform step “1” to “3” again.
5. Check “SELF-DIAG RESULTS” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-
II.
If DTC (P1846) is detected, go to AT- 1 8 5 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If DTC (P1767) is detected, go to AT- 1 6 5 , "
Diagnostic Procedure" .

INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.

When installing transmission assembly to the engine, attach the
fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.

Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then,
tighten the bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed
from the front of the engine.

When tightening the tightening bolts for the torque con-
verter after fixing the crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to
confirm the tightening torque of the crankshaft pulley
mounting bolts.

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure
that transmission rotates freely without binding.

Install crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to EM-30, "Removal and Installation" .

After completing installation, check fluid leakage, fluid level, and the A/T positions of A/T. Refer to AT- 1 2 ,
