P0936 Hydraulic Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent

The hydraulic pressure signal drops out or jumps for short periods, too briefly or irregularly for a lasting low or high fault. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. The underlying sensor is the same one Chrysler uses for line pressure on RFE units and Ferrari for system pressure on its DCT, where the steady faults appear as P0934 and P0935. Gears Magazine names poor solder joints and crimps at the sensor terminals as a frequent source of intermittent pressure sensor codes. CARB requires circuit checks on such transmission inputs. P0932 to P0935 cover the general, plausibility, low and high faults. The driver may see a warning that comes and goes and occasional harsh shifts.

Likely causes

Symptoms

• Warning light comes and goes
• Occasional harsh or erratic shifts

Repair estimate

Typical range across vehicles; the real cost depends on what the testing finds.
