DTC P0847: SHORT IN 3RD CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUIT,
OR 3RD CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH STUCK ON

General Description

The 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch is installed in the hydraulic pressure circuit to the 3rd
clutch. When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the 3rd clutch, the switch is turned ON. When hydraulic
pressure is not supplied to the 3rd clutch, the switch is turned OFF. The signal from the 3rd clutch
transmission fluid pressure switch is input to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM detects the
hydraulic pressure supply conditions at the gear change to 3rd gear (2nd --> 3rd, 4th --> 3rd) to reduce the
shock that occurs at the gear change.

If the 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch is ON while driving, and the speed ratio of the output
shaft (countershaft) to the input shaft (mainshaft) is other than the 3rd ratio, the PCM detects a 3rd clutch
transmission fluid pressure switch failure, and a DTC is stored.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION CHART

Enable Conditions

ENABLE CONDITIONS

Malfunction Threshold

The input signal from the 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch to the PCM is low when driving in
1st gear, 2nd gear, 4th gear, or 5th gear.

Driving Pattern

Start the engine, and drive the vehicle in the D position and 4th gear for at least 2 seconds.



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the
diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by
disconnecting the battery.
