P0876 Code - Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch 'D' Circuit Range/Performance

What does P0876 Mean?

OBD-II Code Transmission may not shift properly is defined as a Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch "D" Circuit

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor tells the Transmission control module (TCM) the pressure of the fluid going through the transmission. When the TCM detects an incorrect signal from the Transmission Pressure Sensor, it sends a signal to the engine control module (PCM) to set code P0876.

What are the common causes of P0876 ?

• Rough running engine due to misfiring plugs. Many engines have misfire codes to indicate the cylinder effected, such as P0307 for number 7.
• Rarely - faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM-programming required after replacement)
• An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code

How do you troubleshoot P0876 ?

Repairing and clearing a P0876 trouble code is a multi-step process that requires the mechanic to perform the following:

• Start by rebuilding the transmission if it received damage from a low fluid condition. The mechanic should also install a new torque converter.
• While repairing the transmission, the mechanic should also fix any leaks.
• Replace any faulty or damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the hydraulic pressure pump if faulty.
• Replace the transmission fluid pressure sensor if faulty.
• Replace the PCM, making sure to reprogram the new PCM.
