DTC P1894:  Problem in CVT Drive Pully Pressure Control Valve Circuit


NOTE: Record all freeze data and review General Troubleshooting Information before you troubleshoot.

1.Disconnect CVT drive pully pressure control valve connector.

2.Measure the resistance between connector terminals at the control valve connector.

 

Is the resistance 3.8-6.8 W?


YES - Go to 3.


NO - Faulty the CVT drive pully pressure control valve, replace the control valve body.n


3.Disconnect PCM connectors B (24P) and C (22P).

4.Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal B24 and body ground, and between terminal C16 and body ground.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal B24 and the CVT drive pully pressure control valve connector, and between terminal C16 and the CVT drive pully pressure control valve connector.n


NO - Go to 5.


5.Reconnect CVT drive pully pressure control valve connector.

6.Measure the resistance between PCM connector terminals B24 and C16.

 

Is the resistance 3.8-6.8 W?


YES - Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or subsutitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/ indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original  PCM.n


NO - Repair loose terminal or open in the wires between PCM connector terminals B24 and C16, and the CVT drive pully pressure control valve connector.n
