P0938 Severity
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.
The clutch uses hydraulic pressure to engage and disengage the clutch as well as shift gears. The Hydraulic Oil Temperature Sensor tells the Transmission Control Module (TCM) the temperature of the system. If the sensor sends back an implausible signal, code P0938 is stored.
