P0988
Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch E Circuit Range/Performance
What it means
P0988 means Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch E Circuit Range/Performance.
Where it lives
For P0988, start at the sensor the description names.
Check these first
- A transmission fluid pressure sensor E that reads out of range
- A dirty sensor E port restricting pressure
- A short or open in the sensor E circuit
- Low transmission fluid
- A PCM misreading the sensor E signal
What to do next
- Read transmission fluid pressure sensor E data on a scan tool
- Check the fluid level and condition
- Test the sensor E circuit
- Compare sensor E pressure to a gauge
- Replace the sensor if the reading drifts
- Clear the code and retest
