INTRODUCTION:
This Service Information bulletin provides a new flow chart and additional diagnostic tools to assist Technicians with troubleshooting DTC P0841- SECONDARY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE.
SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION:
The Diagnostic Flow Chart provided in this bulletin is quite extensive. To help make the chart more userfriendly, it has been broken down into 7 basic “Steps”.
IMPORTANT NOTE: In some cases, it may not necessary to follow this flow chart in the specified order. For example: in a case where a whining sound concern is identified along with the DTC P0841, a Technician may feel performing pressure checks before beginning the electrical checks may be a way to expedite diagnosis of an internal hard part failure requiring transmission assembly replacement.
- STEP 1– CVTF Fluid Condition Check
- STEP 2– Customer Interview and DTC Confirmation
- STEPS 3A and 3B– Check for Failure Caused by Electrical Wiring / Connection Issues
- STEP 4– Check for Abnormal (Stuck) Sensor Output (Cannot Be Detected by Simply Switching Power ON)
- STEP 5– Check the T/M Pressures Stored in the FFD
- STEP 6– Determination of Appropriate Repair
- STEP 7– Confirmation of Repair
Use this Legend to help navigate the flow chart:
See PDF Bellow…
- In addition to the flow chart, use the following slides and information for additional help with accurately diagnosing a P0841:
TIP: Consider performing the pressure testing using a mechanical pressure gauge BEFORE electrical testing and compare the test results (between the gauge and SM4 displayed values). Both test results should be very close. If there is a significant discrepancy between them (e.g. the (known good) gauge results are significantly higher than the SM4-supplied values), the pressure sensor would be suspect.
Additional Electrical Testing Information:
- The following slides provide some additional pressure sensor and related wiring testing techniques, illustrations and photos. This information is intended to help Technicians make a more informed diagnosis of the root cause and required repairs. It will also help determine whether or not a terminal /pin connection is damaged and in need of repair or replacement:

Both test results should be very close. If there is a significant discrepancy between them (e.g. the (known good) gauge results are significantly higher than the SM4-supplied values), the pressure sensor would be suspect.

This information is intended to help Technicians make a more informed diagnosis of the root cause and required repairs. It will also help determine whether or not a terminal /pin connection is damaged and in need of repair or replacement: Precautions for Checking Transmission / Sensor Wiring: P0841 Wiring Check Points: Continued… Bulletin Number: 16-102-16R; Revised: 10/13/21 Page 9 Effects of Vibration on Connectors / Terminals: “Wiggle-Testing” Wiring: Continued… Bulletin Number: 16-102-16R; Revised: 10/13/21 Page 10 Check the Secondary Oil Pressure Sensor: Other Points to Inspect: Continued… Bulletin Number: 16-102-16R; Revised: 10/13/21 Page 11 Sliding Resistance Testing: Example of a Deformed Pin Terminal: Continued… Bulletin Number: 16-102-16R; Revised: 10/13/21 Page 12 CAUTION: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS. Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC.
