P0982 code indicates a low electrical signal in the transmission shift solenoid “D” control circuit.
P0982 Shift Solenoid “D” Control Circuit Low
Code symptoms P0982.
1. Delayed or rough shifting: The vehicle may experience delays or jerky movements when shifting gears due to issues with the solenoid control circuit.
2. Transmission slipping: Slipping can occur when the transmission fails to engage properly, which can lead to poor acceleration and reduced fuel efficiency.
3. Gear stuck in one position: The transmission may get stuck in a single gear and fail to shift up or down as needed, affecting the performance and driving experience.
4. Illuminated check engine light: The onboard diagnostic system will trigger the check engine light to alert the driver of a potential issue with the solenoid control circuit, signaling the need for immediate attention.
Causes of the code P0982.
1. Faulty Shift Solenoid “D”: The shift solenoid itself may be defective or damaged, leading to a low circuit signal.
2. Wiring Issues: Damaged or shorted wiring in the shift solenoid circuit can cause low voltage readings, triggering the trouble code.
3. Transmission Control Module (TCM) Malfunction: A malfunctioning TCM can result in improper control of the shift solenoid, leading to the low circuit signal.
4. Poor Electrical Connection: Loose or corroded electrical connections to the shift solenoid can impede proper signal transmission.
5. Internal Transmission Problem: Internal transmission issues such as contamination, mechanical faults, or worn components could affect the operation of the shift solenoid, causing a low circuit signal.
Code Solutions P0982.
1. Check the wiring and connections related to the Shift Solenoid “D” for any loose connections, frayed wires, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary.
2. Inspect the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or dirty transmission fluid can cause issues with the solenoid. Top up or change the fluid if needed.
3. Test the Shift Solenoid “D” with a multimeter to ensure it is functioning correctly. Replace the solenoid if it is faulty.
4. Verify proper voltage and ground signals reaching the solenoid. Check and repair any faults in the power and ground circuits.
5. Perform a thorough scan of the vehicle’s computer system to identify any related trouble codes and address them as needed.
