OBD2P0936
Diagnostic Trouble Code· Standard OBD-II fault code read from the vehicle's onboard diagnostics.
What it means
Hydraulic Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent.
Severity
moderateCan drive, but shifting issues may occur and worsen over time.
Summary
P0936 indicates an intermittent issue with the hydraulic pressure sensor circuit in the transmission control system. This can affect how the transmission adjusts hydraulic pressure based on driving conditions.
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminated
- Harsh shifting under light acceleration
- Delayed or soft shifting during hard acceleration
- Transmission may lock out certain gears
Common Causes
- Poor connection in wiring harness
- Water damage to connectors
- Bent pins in electrical connector
- Faulty hydraulic pressure sensor
- Over-sensitive ECM rejecting minor variations in signal voltage
Diagnosis
- Check for TSBs related to the issue
- Inspect wiring harnesses for damage or water entry
- Verify proper voltage and ground at sensor connector
- Disconnect LPS and check circuit resistance
Fixes
- Repair damaged wiring or connectors, replace faulty sensor if necessary
FAQ
What should I do if the MIL is on?
