How To Replace A Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch P0847 / P0848 / P0872 / P0873

How to replace a transmission fluid pressure switch. This specific switch is the 4th clutch pressure switch from a 2006 Acura TL.
Symptoms of a bad switch:
- Harsh shifting
- Transmission won't upshift
- Fail safe mode
This oil pressure switch reads the amount of fluid pressure and relays that info to the vehicle's computer. This allows the computer to control the shifting. (One of the many mechanisms involved.)

Very important to IDENTIFY which vehicle you're working on since they're all different

[@chhiringsherpa2043]

Because he is idiot

[@deekdotcom2]

I was actually looking for info on how to test this sensor. Really good video, thanks for the info

[@jislam12]

I did not have any engine code or any hard shifting or driving issues but i had flashing 03 on dash board of my Accord 2014. After researching and asking honda Stealers i decided to chnage this sensor. This video helped me guiding thru.could not find the hidden Bolt anyway. So approached from the splash shield side aproach. OEM parts comes with a washer 👍.some AT fluid comes out though. No big deal.

[@reyong4217]

Thanks. Very helpful much. I believe yours is the best explanation on how to replace the part.

[@yabd792]

Thank you for sharing your video and knowledge, this will save us a lot of money.

Will this be on the 2010 acura tl also I got blinking D light

[@sarahmarland5405]

Where do you get a replacement tfps I’ve googled everything I can think of and can’t get one for my Dodge Journey 2010 2.0 crd thanks

[@tlpreed]

I'm about to change the valve bodies n a 2010 Murano I don't have the code on me but it's a sensor or relay stuck off when I put it in drive it'll barely move an the computer is stopping it from giving it anymore gas is that limp mode like you mentioned. Would that have anything to do with the pressure switch or valve body issue ?

[@condor5635]

I made a nice table that has all metric and standard sizes. Ordered by their decimal equivalent. It’s right above my workbench. So I can easily see what’s the next smallest wrench below a given size or the next largest. It’s a great tool to have handy. Thanks for the video. Great job.

[@LJ-DBO]

You literally saved me a transmission if this works my guy. I was almost sure it was shot until I realized I'm shifting and getting into gear just fine (hit 80). I also had no check engine light when I took to mechanic. He even told me it was shot. But there was NO check engine lights when I dropped it off. But when I picked it up there was, This was a month ago(It literally sat for a month smh). I just checked them today randomly lmao 08 lancer: P0841 code for others it might be P0840 or both like me! He described from 4:58 on exactly what I experienced. I will be purchasing it tonight. I will come back for the result!

[@desr924]

Did this work for you? I get the same code and transmission slightly shifting at 60mph. Got this code

[@LJ-DBO]

@@desr924 It certainly did. The part was $112 for the sensor but next time if it happens I'm just going with getting a new valve body and that's about 150 170 so $60 more you can get a newer one.

What's the crush washer size? And is it a rubber or metal washer?

[@michelleburt2571]

Great video! Is there more than one pressure switch? I got my car scanned but they did not say I needed to replace several but had to contact a different parts store to get the switch and they told me I needed two.

[@CarsNToys]

Yes, your vehicle can certainly have two switches.

[@2kolbe010]

I furst noticed my car would not switch between gears. It would stay in a higher gear and once i got to autozone they did the check engine test. The reader popped up and said either its my transmission fluid is low(which it wasn’t) or the sensor is gone bad.

[@redinstrumental7535]

Is that the Transmission temperature sensor

[@ugkhan925]

I have a 2013 dodge caravan and whenever I put it in reverse the stick seems to go hard and it gives a very bad click. I got code fluid pressure low code P0868. I checked the trans fuel it was way more than the required level so I took some oil out. I don't have any leakage. Can anyone suggest to me what to do? thanks.

[@Joshismack]

Hey bud, I have an 05 tl, no codes, transmission won't engage in none of the gears. I changed the fluid and filter. Still no luck. Would you recommend replacing the switchs?

[@CarsNToys]

Any trouble codes?

[@alvinlubis2226]

Did you have to drain the transmission fluid before changing the pressure switches?

[@mrau92me]

Not if they're mounted on the outside of the trannie like the one in this video. If it's mounted toward the bottom, you might lose a bit of fluid.. just be ready with your new one.

[@markpersaud5768]

Get a BlueDriver OBD2 scanner to confirm. I just bought and received from Amazon and tried it... has detail report even though the error didn't show in my odometer console in my TSX 2006. I think as long as it wasn't erased from memory, the log will show when you plug in your OBD2.

[@Cryptomason-dr2be]

Hello I need your assistance on 2007 Camry

[@jefflink4581]

You can test them, with a very caveman multimeter Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). Disconnect the 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Measure the voltage between the 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch connector terminal and body ground. Is there about 5 V? Replace the 3rd clutch transmission fluid pressure switch.

[@rustyzipperband]

Hello, maybe you can help me. I was changing that sensor and I noticed that the diameter of the new sensor is very different on the new sensor. The new one has a much smaller inner diameter than the old. So I decided to hold off. Any info would be appreciated. I checked the part number and it’s supposed to be right. Also the color is different. Thanks

[@3375me]

Can you tell me where you got the part because all the stores I called can't find it in their system.

[@rustyzipperband]

I can’t remember for sure, maybe rock auto, Amazon. Doesn’t matter in my case because the transmission took a final shit. Trying to rebuild it but it’s costing an arm and a dick.

[@jacquelineperry4790]

I read most of the time those sensors don’t go bad there usually something clogged up like a hose or metal in transmission pan trey.

[@CarsNToys]

Yes, this one was still in good shape.

Either your trans oil is low or you got a faulty pressure switch. If you really wanna find out. Get a diagnostics test.

[@michaell3711]

My Honda had the same issue and i scanned it and it showed a faulty intake manifold sensor.
