For P0843, the sensor sits on the circuit this code reports. The description of P0843 reports a fault at the sensor.

Check these first

• An open in the sensor A return wire
• A sensor A reading above the expected range
• A stuck line pressure regulator valve
• A signal wire shorted to voltage

What to do next

1. Watch sensor A pressure on a scan tool
2. Test the return wire for an open
3. Test the signal wire for a short to voltage
4. Check the line pressure regulator valve
5. Replace sensor A if the value stays high
