PTF 000177.19 – Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor, Fault
PTF 000177.19 (PTF 177.19)
Code: 000177.19
Shortcode: 177.19
Description:
This error code is triggered when the transmission oil temperature cannot be determined and communicated on the CAN bus by the PTA or CCU control software. A transmitted replacement value generates this diagnostic trouble code. This fault also generates a diagnostic trouble code in the PTA and/or CCU control software, which takes priority.
Reaction:
When this code is detected, the control software may exhibit limited or no functionality.
Recommendations:
- Inspect Temperature Sensor:
- Check the transmission oil temperature sensor for proper operation.
- Replace the sensor if it is found to be faulty.
- Examine Wiring and Connections:
- Inspect the wiring and connections between the sensor and the control unit for damage or loose connections.
- Repair or replace any defective components.
- Check Software Updates:
- Ensure that the PTA and CCU control software are up to date and compatible.
- Update the software if necessary.
- Analyze CAN Bus Traffic:
- Use diagnostic tools to verify that the temperature data is correctly transmitted over the CAN bus.
Note:
Proper functioning of the transmission oil temperature sensor is crucial for monitoring and maintaining optimal transmission performance. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of faulty components can prevent such issues.
