PTA 524227.12 – Pressure Switch for Filter Bypass Valve Closed by Mistake
PTA 524227.12 (PTA )
Code: 524227.12
Shortcode:
Description:
This diagnostic trouble code is generated when the filter bypass valve (for cold-weather starting) is open while the transmission input speed (engine speed) is above 1400 rpm and transmission oil temperature exceeds +30°C (86°F). If diagnostic trouble code PTA 000127.01 is also stored, process that code first.
Reaction:
Warning remains active until the fault is corrected, indicating a non-critical issue with the filter bypass valve.
Recommendations:
Inspect Filter Bypass Valve:
- Verify that the filter bypass valve is functioning correctly.
- Replace the valve if it is faulty.
Check Pressure Switch:
- Ensure that the pressure switch is operating correctly.
- Repair or replace the pressure switch if necessary.
Examine Wiring and Connectors:
- Inspect all wiring and connectors associated with the filter bypass valve and pressure switch for signs of damage or disconnection.
- Repair or replace any damaged components to ensure proper electrical connections.
Verify Operating Conditions:
- Ensure that the vehicle is not operating under conditions that could inadvertently trigger this fault (e.g., excessively high transmission oil temperatures).
Process Related Codes:
- If diagnostic trouble code PTA 000127.01 is also stored, address that issue first as it may be related.
Consult Technical Support:
- If the issue persists, consult technical support or the manufacturer for further diagnosis and assistance.
Note:
Proper functionality of the filter bypass valve is important for vehicle operation, especially in varying temperature conditions. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent these issues.
