P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW A

P0841 TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SEN/SW A

Description

INFOID:0000000009719480

Using the engine load (throttle position), the primary pulley revolution speed, and the secondary pulley revolu-
tion speed as input signals, TCM changes the operating pressure of the primary pulley and the secondary pul-
ley and changes the groove width of the pulley to control the gear ratio.
