DTC P1898

DTC P1898:  CVT Drive Pulley Pressure Control Valve Stuck ON or CVT Driven Pulley Pressure Control Valve Stuck OFF

General Description 

GHH434267Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve control hydraulic pressure. The CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve is controlled by duty cycle output. The spool in the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve moves the valve according to the current, and produces hydraulic pressure in proportion to the current. The powertrain control module (PCM) measures the current that passes through the CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve and uses feedback control to compensate for the difference between the measured current and the commanded one. To shift the transmission properly, the PCM outputs a drive/driven pulley oil pressure control signal. If the pulley ratio is out of specified range from the vehicle stopped with the forward clutch engaged to the vehicle running, the PCM detects a CVT drive pulley pressure control solenoid valve stuck ON failure or a CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve stuck OFF and stores a DTC.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
