    Is DTC P173A indicated?

    YES 

    Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good transmission fluid pressure sensor , then recheck. If this DTC goes away and the transmission fluid pressure sensor was substituted, replace the original transmission fluid pressure sensor . If the DTC does not clear, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  3. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
