P099E - OBD Trouble Code

<<See All OBD Codes

What does P099E error code mean? How does this occur? Do you find the transmission fluid leaky or dirty? Then it’s more likely that you may face the P099E error code in your vehicle. If the electrical circuit in the solenoid is broken or damaged and if it is detected by the TCM or PCM, then the P099E error code gets stored in the vehicle.

Improper transmission shift can cause the control circuit of shift solenoid ‘H’ to be low. Proper engagement of clutch to the transmission is needed so that the vehicle shifts smoothly. For this purpose, hydraulic fluid is used by either the transmission control module or engine control modules of the transmission fluid pressure solenoid.

The O2 sensors can help to define the ratio of fuel and air ratio by calculating the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust. This mixture helps for less emission by exhaust and will enhance the overall fuel economy.

What causes this problem with the Shift Solenoid "H" Control Circuit Low?

• Shift solenoid ‘H’ malfunctions.
• An opening or short circuit in the shift solenoid ‘H’ causes an error in the system.
• The electrical connection to the shift solenoid ‘H’ is weak.

1. Transmission Shift Solenoid – Are you looking for the right place to replace your damaged transmission shift solenoid? Then, Parts Avatar is the right place as it has the replacement parts for every model
2. Shift Solenoid Valve – A faulty shift solenoid valve needs immediate replacement so that the P099E error code can be avoided.
3. Transmission Control Module – Replacing a defective TCM can help you to get rid of the errors in your system.
4. Powertrain Control Module – Check the PCM for any faults or damages. If you come across any, replace them immediately to avoid P099F error code.
5. Engine Control Module – ECM has to function properly in order to avoid this P099F error. Get the damaged part replaced immediately.

Interested in knowing the symptoms to OBD code P099E? If yes, then you have arrived at the right place. We at PartsAvatar have listed out few common symptoms associated with this fuel injector problem.

Common Symptoms

• The vehicle consumes more fuel.
• Transmission shift by the vehicle is irregular.
• The motor light of the engine is always in on position.

After understanding the symptoms and few common causes behind the OBD error code, we are here to help you out in understanding the ways and means to correct the issue. To solve any issue, you need to follow certain steps, and to solve OBD error code P099E, you will need to undergo the following replacements:

When you switch the timing of the valve between high and low, the P099E code is activated by the engine system in combination with the powertrain and engine control module. The engine system controls the pressure of oil to the engine mechanism as it is installed in the valve system of the vehicle. You will find the diagnostic trouble code stored in your vehicle if the circuit is shorted or if there is an opening.

Apart from this, you might need to replace other damaged parts too like transmission shift solenoid, shift solenoid valve, transmission control module, powertrain control module, engine control module, transmission fluid and more. You can easily find all these parts with us. Not only that you can get these parts shipped to your door free if your cart value happens to exceed $99.

Here are some steps which you should follow in order to diagnose this P099E fault code:

• The mechanic will use an OBD scanner, to inspect the error codes in the vehicle.
• By connecting a scanner to the diagnostic port of the vehicle, the mechanic or the technician can easily recover every of the stored codes and freeze frame data.
• Record this information, as it can be helpful for further diagnosis.
• At times, the shift solenoid itself can cause an issue if it is damaged or broken.
• Once you carefully inspect every component, you have to reset the code. Once it is reset, test drive your vehicle to see if the codes reappear.
• If the error does not return quickly, then there can be an intermittent connection in the vehicle.
• If the error returns quickly, then a visual inspection of the transmission fluid is required.
• The transmission fluid can be murky or contaminated. At times there can be blockages or dust particles in the transmission filter. Even the mechanic may find some leaky areas.
• Quickly refill the transmission with clean fluid up to the required level. Also, the area of leak can be fixed.
• Once this is fixed, inspect every component such as electrical wires, connectors and so on to see if there are any damages.
• Fix the damaged or defective component as required.
• In most cases, the P099E error code arises, due to faulty shift solenoid or because of the transmission fluid.
• You must often test drive the vehicle after every repair, so as to know how and where the error occurred in the vehicle
