Definition and circuit logic
- Pressure Control Solenoid C Electrical
First-fault record
- Preserve rpm, load, speed, temperature, system voltage and relevant commanded/actual values from the first event.
Diagnostics and measurement
Symptoms
- Evaluate the symptom and companion codes from the same event as P0798.
Freeze frame and initial capture
- Preserve rpm, load, speed, temperature, system voltage and relevant commanded/actual values from the first event.
Common diagnostic mistakes
- Do not treat the code label as a definitive failed-part diagnosis; compare command, feedback and physical measurement.
Post-repair verification
- After repair, safely reproduce the original fault condition and recheck DTC status.
Safety
- Use manufacturer service information for application-specific procedures and exact thresholds.
Possible causes
- Sensor/solenoid circuit, fluid level/temperature, hydraulic pressure, clutch/valve-body or TCM communication/calibration fault.
Live data to monitor
- Input/output speeds, commanded/actual ratio, fluid temperature, selected gear and solenoid/clutch commands.
Measurement sequence for a DTC
- Record which module stored the code and under what conditions.
- Review freeze-frame and simultaneous codes together.
- Verify power, ground and voltage-drop basics.
- Compare commanded and actual values in live data.
- Recreate the operating condition after repair.
