PTA 001387.04 – Lube Oil Pressure Sensor, Voltage Too Low

PTA 001387.04 (PTA 1387.04)

Code: 001387.04

Shortcode: 1387.04

Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the PTA control software detects that the voltage at the lube oil pressure sensor is too low, indicating a short to ground in the sensor circuit.

Reaction:

Limited or no function of the transmission until the error is corrected, indicating a critical issue with the lube oil pressure sensor circuit.

Recommendations:

Inspect Sensor Circuit:

  • Check the sensor circuit for any signs of short circuits to ground.
  • Repair any identified issues in the circuit.

Test Oil Pressure Sensor:

  • Measure the sensor’s voltage output with a multimeter.
  • Replace the sensor if it is producing abnormally low voltage readings.

Examine Wiring and Connectors:

  • Inspect all wiring and connectors associated with the oil pressure sensor for signs of damage, wear, or disconnection.
  • Repair or replace any damaged components to ensure proper electrical connections.

Verify Power Supply:

  • Ensure the sensor is receiving the correct voltage from the power supply.
  • Check for any issues in the power supply that might be causing low voltage to the sensor.

Note:

Low voltage readings from the lube oil pressure sensor can severely impact transmission performance. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to any electrical issues in the sensor circuit are crucial for reliable operation.
