P0936Hydraulic Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- The hydraulic pressure signal drops out or jumps for short periods, too briefly or irregularly for a lasting low or high fault. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. The underlying sensor is the same one Chrysler uses for line pressure on RFE units and Ferrari for system pressure on its DCT, where the steady faults appear as P0934 and P0935. Gears Magazine names poor solder joints and crimps at the sensor terminals as a frequent source of intermittent pressure sensor codes. CARB requires circuit checks on such transmission inputs. P0932 to P0935 cover the general, plausibility, low and high faults. The driver may see a warning that comes and goes and occasional harsh shifts.
- What you may notice
- Warning light comes and goes
- Occasional harsh or erratic shifts
- Likely causes
- LikelyPoor crimp or solder joint at the sensor connector
- PossibleChafed harness making intermittent contact
- PossibleMoisture or corrosion in the connector
- RareSensor with an internal intermittent fault
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
