  • 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

  1. Read transmission fluid pressure sensor E data on a scan tool
  2. Check the fluid level and condition
  3. Test the sensor E circuit
