Engine code PO871 transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch "C" circuit range/performance.

Where is the location of this sensor on my transmission so I can replace it?

Hi,

The switch is located under the transmission filter. Thus, you need to remove the transmission pan and filter to access it. Once the filter is out, there are two bolts that hold a retainer in place holding the sensor.

If you look below, I attached the directions for removing and replacing the sensor. Since you will have the transmission pan and filter removed, this is a good time to replace the filter. Make sure to use the correct CVT fluid when you fill it.

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
