Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "G" Circuit High

This code means the PCM/ECM has detected a high-voltage circuit condition affecting transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch "g. When this happens, the transmission may not control clutch apply pressure or gear changes correctly, which can lead to harsh shifting, slipping, delayed engagement, or fail-safe mode.

Schedule a repair soon — this issue will worsen and may cause additional damage if ignored.

What You Might Notice

  • Check Engine Light illuminated
  • Harsh or delayed shifting
  • Transmission slipping or wrong gear feel
  • Vehicle may enter limp mode
  • Poor acceleration

Most Common Causes

  1. 1

    Short to voltage or an internally failed component

  2. 2

    Damaged wiring or poor connector contact

  3. 3

    Low, dirty, or incorrect transmission fluid

  4. 4

    Internal valve body or clutch problem

  5. 5

    Fault in the TCM/PCM or calibration

How to Diagnose It

  1. 1

    Check Short to voltage or an internally failed componentInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  2. 2

    Check Damaged wiring or poor connector contactInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  3. 3

    Check Low, dirty, or incorrect transmission fluidInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  4. 4

    Check Internal valve body or clutch problemInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

  5. 5

    Check Fault in the TCM/PCM or calibrationInspect for signs of failure and test before replacing.

How to Fix It

  1. 1

    Verify the code with scan data and freeze-frame information

  2. 2

    Check transmission fluid level and condition

  3. 3

    Test the affected sensor, solenoid, or actuator and replace it if faulty

  4. 4

    Repair damaged wiring or poor connections

  5. 5

    Perform relearn procedures or deeper hydraulic/internal diagnosis if needed
