What is the P0895 fault number? What is the description of Shift Time Too Short? How can I fix the P0895 error code? What are the causes and symptoms of the P0895 error code?
What is the P0895 fault code? What does it all mean?
Computer-controlled automated transmissions can change the gear ratios to improve or decrease vehicle speed. They also optimize engine performance and fuel economy. If the powertrain controller module (PCM), detects a shift time defect or other abnormality, P0895 will trigger.
Transmission fluid assists in gear changes, as well as lubricating and cooling moving parts. Transmission fluid is directed through different hydraulic channels by a high-pressure pump within the transmission. A number of electronic pressure control (EPC), solenoids regulate fluid pressure. The PCM receives information from the transmission pressure sensors about fluid pressure at different points within the transmission. To stop high-pressure fluid flow, electronic shift solenoids are used so that the vehicle can shift into the right gear when instructed.
Note: Depending on the vehicle manufacturer, P0895 might have a different definition. The vehicle’s repair manual, or repair database, will provide a detailed description of the code.
What is the P0895 Fault Code?
The following are the most frequent causes of the P0895 fault code:
- – Insufficient transmission oils pressure
- – Dirty or missing transmission fluid
- – Blockage of hydraulic passages in the gearbox
- – Defective shift solenoids
- – Gearbox failures that are serious
- Defective high-pressure pump
- – Defective electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid
- – Defective transmission pressure sensor
- – Corroded, damaged, burned, disconnected, or disconnected wiring and/or connectors
- – Defective PCM / TCM
What are the symptoms of the P0895 Fault Code?
These symptoms may be present if you own a vehicle that has the code “P0895”:
- – Illumination at the check engine lights
- – Vehicle stuck on any gear
- – Hard shifting and delayed
- – Irregular gear changes
- – Gearbox slip
- – Gearbox overheating
- – A hum from the gearbox
- – The gearbox emits strong, burning odors
- – Increased fuel use
- – Lower engine performance
How do I fix the P0895 fault code?
There are several repairs that can resolve the P0895 fault code.
- – Topping up the transmission fluid.
- – Change the transmission fluid filter if it is low quality, contaminated, or doesn’t meet manufacturer’s specifications.
- – Repairing damaged wiring and loose connectors.
- – Fixing transmission fluid leaks
- – Replacing defective shift solenoids
- – Cleansing clogged transmission fluid passagelines
- – Replacing a defective transmission oil pump
- – Replacing an electronic pressure control solenoid.
- – Replacing a defective transmission pressure sensor
- – Transmission internal mechanical faults can be repaired
- – Complete overhaul of the torque converter and gearbox
- – Replacing the faulty TCM / PCM
How serious is the P0895 Fault code?
A malfunction of any number of components can cause a P0895 error code, such as the electronic pressure controller/solenoids, electronic pressure sensor or damaged wires and connectors. To maintain hydraulic pressure, many transmission parts must work together. The quality of the shifts can also be affected by sensors that monitor the system. This fault code is extremely serious and could cause problems with driveability or a large repair bill.
