DTC P0965: Clutch Cooling Flow Solenoid System (Overcurrent)

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, 

an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be 
set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN 
bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that 

the CAN bus lines are normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the clutch cooling flow 
solenoid circuit is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The supply current to the clutch cooling flow solenoid 
is determined to be overcurrent.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Continuous

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Voltage of battery: 8 V or more.

• Voltage of battery: 16.5 V or less.

• Engine speed: 500 r/min or more.

• Time since above engine condition: 400 millisec-

ond or more.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

• FET (Field Effect Transistor) current: 3.5 A or 

more, and FET (Field Effect Transistor) output: 
100 mV or less (180 millisecond).

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

The status with the current of the FET channel shunt 
3.5 A or less and with the FET channel output 100 
mV or more continues for 180 milliseconds.

.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of TC-SST-ECU

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Scan tool CAN bus diagnostics
Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus lines.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Repair the CAN bus lines. (Refer to GROUP 54C 

− 

Troubleshooting 

P.54C-14

.) After repairing the CAN 

bus line, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check whether the DTC is reset.
Q: Is DTC No. P0965 set?

YES : Replace the TC-SST assembly. (Refer to 

P.22C-341

.)

NO :  Intermittent malfunction. (Refer to GROUP 00 

− How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction

.)

DTC P0966: Clutch Cooling Flow Solenoid System (Short to ground)

CAUTION

• If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, 

an incorrect diagnostic trouble code may be 
set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN 
bus lines.

• Whenever the ECU is replaced, ensure that 

the CAN bus lines are normal.

.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

TC-SST-ECU checks that the clutch cooling flow 
solenoid circuit is normal.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

The clutch cooling flow solenoid circuit is determined 
to be short to ground.
