P0796 ACURA – Pressure Control Solenoid ‘C’ Stuck Off

P0796 ACURA Possible Symptoms

Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light),Shift shock

P0796 ACURA Possible Causes

Low transmission fluid level,Dirty transmission fluid,Faulty pressure control solenoid valve ‘C’,Pressure control solenoid valve ‘C’ harness is open or shorted,Pressure control solenoid valve ‘C’ circuit poor electrical connection

P0796 ACURA Description

The Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid Valve an electronic pressure regulator that controls transmission line pressure based on current flow through its coil windings. As current flow is increased, the magnetic field produced by the coil moves the solenoid??? plunger further away from the exhaust port. Opening the exhaust port decreases the output fluid pressure regulated by the PC solenoid valve, which ultimately decreases line pressure. The line pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to a signal sent from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
