P0745 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A
DescriptionINFOID:0000000005148605
The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pum p discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in
response to a signal sent from the TCM.
The line pressure duty cycle value is not consistent when the closed throttle position signal is “ON”.
To confirm the line pressure duty cycle at low pressu re, the accelerator (throttle) should be open until
the closed throttle posi tion signal is “OFF”.
