P0944-LOSS OF HYDRAULIC PUMP PRIME
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Every 350 msec
Set Condition:
If the transmission begins to slip in any forward gear, and the pressure switch or switches that should be
closed for a given gear are open, a loss of prime test begins. All available elements (in 1st gear LR, 2/4 and
OD, in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear 2/4 and OD) are turned on by the PCM to see if pump prime exists. The code
is set if none of the pressure switches respond. The PCM will continue to runthe loss of prime test until pump
pressure returns. The vehicle will not move or the transmission will slip.Normal operation will continue if pump
prime returns.
Possible Causes
LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
SHIFT LEVER POSITION
PLUGGED TRANSMISSION FILTER
TRANSMISSION OIL PUMP
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Loss of Prime Test is used to prevent transmission defaults and erroneous fault codes during temporary loss of
pump prime that may occur with low transmission fluid under severe brakingconditions, start-up, etc. and to point
towards more subtle problems such as a plugged or ruptured oil filter. The Loss of Prime fault is set by a loss of
hydraulic pressure in the transmission system. This condition, if sustained, will result in the vehicle being unable to
move.
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0944 IS CURRENT
Place the gear selector in park.
Start the engine.
NOTE: The Transmission Temperature must be at least 43° C (110° F) before performing the following steps.
The Transmission must be at operating temperature prior to checking pressure. Cold transmission fluid will result in
higher pressure readings.
Place the Transmission in Reverse.
With the scan tool, observe the Transmission Pressure Switch states.
Are any of the Pressure Switches closed?

P0992-2/4/OD HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
In any forward gear with engine speed above 1000 RPM, shortly after a shift and every minute thereafter.
Set Condition:
After a shift into a forward gear, with engine speed greater than 1000 RPM, the PCM momentarily turns on
element pressure to the clutch circuits that do not have pressure to identify that the correct pressure switch
closes. If the pressure switch does not close 2 times the DTC sets.
Possible Causes
CONDITION P0992 PRESENT
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Theory of Operation
Pressure switches are normally off or open (no pressure applied) and read high (+12 volts). When an element is
applied, the corresponding pressure switch closes to ground (0 volts) or turns on. The controller tests the OD and
2/4 pressure switches when they are off (when the corresponding friction element is not applied) by briefly applying
the OD and 2/4 elements which will cause the corresponding pressure switchto close. The test verifies that the
switches are operational and that the switch will close when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails
to respond, it is re-tested. The MIL illuminates and the transmission system defaults to Limp-in mode.
1.CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0992 IS CURRENT
NOTE: The vehicle must be driven to set this DTC. The transmission must at operating temperature with the
Engine RPM above 1000 RPM.
This DTC is an indication of both the 2/4 and the O/D Hydraulic Pressure Switch DTCs present.
Perform the diagnostic procedures for both P0845 and P0870.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the diagnostic proceduresfor P0845 and P0870.
