Honda CR-V A/T CONTROL SYSTEM (DIAGNOSTIC CODES) ➜ DTC P0847: Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch B (3rd Clutch) Circuit Low

Is there continuity?  
YES : The OP 2 SW wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software See PCM  
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , or substitute a known-good PCM See  
PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , then do the repair verification .  
NO : Repair an open in the OP 2 SW wire between transmission fluid pressure switch A (2nd clutch) and  
the PCM, then do the repair verification .

1. Reconnect all connectors.  
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).  
3. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  
4. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).  
5. Test-drive the vehicle in 2nd gear for at least 2 seconds, then drive in 4th gear for at least 2 seconds.  
6. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0843 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.  
DTC Description  
OBD Status  
P0843 Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch A (2nd Clutch) Circuit High  
Does the HDS indicate PASSED, FAILED, or NOT COMPLETED?  
PASSED Troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM See PCM  
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE . Check for other DTC after this troubleshooting. If  
any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.  
FAILED Troubleshooting is incomplete. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between transmission  
fluid pressure switch A (2nd clutch) and the PCM, then go to step 1 and recheck. If the PCM was updated,  
substitute a known-good PCM See PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , and  
check the OBD STATUS again.  
NOT COMPLETED Repair verification is incomplete. Meet the test condition, and check the OBD STATUS  
again.

NOTE:  

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot  
with the HDS, and review the General Troubleshooting Information See  
HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE A/T SYSTEM or HOW TO  
TROUBLESHOOT THE FUEL AND EMISSIONS SYSTEMS .

1. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).  
2. Test-drive the vehicle in 4th gear for at least 2 seconds.  
3. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0847 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.  
DTC Description  
OBD Status  
P0847 Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch B (3rd Clutch) Circuit Low  
Does the HDS indicate FAILED?  
YES : The failure is duplicated. Go to step 3.  
NO : If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for an  
intermittent short to ground in the wire between transmission fluid pressure switch B (3rd clutch) and the  
PCM. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, test-drive again.  
3. Transmission fluid pressure switch B (3rd clutch) check:
