P0936 OBD-II: Hydraulic Pressure Sensor Circuit Intermittent
P0936 Severity
Will P0936 go away on its own?
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0936?
The clutch uses hydraulic pressure to engage and disengage the clutch as well as shift gears. Pressure is stored in the Accumulator. The Accumulator Pressure Sensor tells the Transmission Control Module (TCM) how much pressure is in the system. If the sensor sends back an implausible signal, code P0936 is stored.
