P0944-LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PUMP PRIME
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
If the transmission is slipping in any forward gear and all the pressure switches are not indicating pressure, a
loss of prime test is run.
Set Condition:
If the transmission begins to slip in a forward gear and all the pressure switch(s) that should be closed are
open a loss of prime test begins. Available elements are turned on by the PCMto see if pump prime exists.
The DTC sets if no pressure switch(s) respond.
Possible Causes
SHIFT LEVER OUT OF ADJUSTMENT
IMPROPER FLUID LEVEL
CRACKED OR IMPROPERLY INSTALLED PRIMARY OIL FILTER OR SEAL
LOOSE COOLER RETURN FILTER
STUCK OR STICKING MAIN REGULATOR VALVE
TRANSMISSION OIL PUMP
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Loss of prime test is used to prevent transmission defaults and erroneous fault codes during temporary loss of
pump prime that may occur with low transmission fluid under severe brakingconditions, start-up, etc. and to point
towards more subtle problems such as a plugged or cracked oil filter.
The Loss of Prime DTC is set by a loss of hydraulic pressure in the transmission system. This condition, if sus-
tained, will result in the vehicle being unable to move.
Diagnostic Test
1.SHIFT LEVER POSITION TEST
Using the scan tool, perform a Shift Lever Position test. Follow the instructions on the scan tool.
Did the Shift Lever Position Test pass?

No>>
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the appropriate symptom.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2.CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0944 IS CURRENT
Place the gear selector in Park.
Start the engine.
The transmission must be at operating temperature prior to checking pressure. A cold transmission will give higher
readings.
Run the engine at 1500 RPM.
With the scan tool, monitor the Transmission Line Pressure.
Does the Line Pressure match the Desired Line Pressure within ± 5 psi?
No>>
