Hello, I'm Sevag a Porsche technician works for Porsche center Lebanon.
I got a fault code p0843 short to b+. First step I checked the wire for the pressure sensor was good no short appear, erase fault test drive after 120km fault appear again for test run outside wire for the effected pressure sensor pin same fault appear again, after that replace the pressure sensor problem not solved replace pdk control unit same fault still appear every time fault reappear after driving more than 100km. Vehicle battery and alternator are in good condition. Piwis tester is the latest version I don't know what I'm missing all the possible causes are done fault still appear.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

You have replaced the PDK controller and the pressure sensor. In my mind, that leaves one of two possible problems. First, there is a wiring issue that is intermittent and checks good when you test it. Or, there is an oil pressure issue.

Clutch 1, measured oil pressure > 21 bar

Check the pressure to confirm it isn't too high. Something could be causing an issue.
That would create a problem with the sensor.

Recheck the wire between the pressure sensor and the PDK. Move it around, check the connection for damage, check the wire for internal damage.

Let me know,

Joe

Hello, thanks for your reply. Transmission is already replaced, don't think that can be an issue over pressure inside the gearbox. The wiring is check no short to b+ or b-. He resistance of the wire is as specified, to make sure I remove the original pressure sensor wire and run outside wire from PDK cu to transmission but after 100 same fault appear p0843 with p181a.
This screen shot the I send is from your forum it is like my issue after replacing transmission and cu he got fault code p0846 pressure sensor 2short to b+ and mine is p0843 pressure sensor 1. Not mentioned at the end what was his solution I wanted to know please.

Welcome back:

I was unaware of the P181A. That is the opposite end of the spectrum as far as pressure. When that code is set with P0843, the problem is usually related to sensor grounding and not a short to B+. Are you sure the ground is equally as good?

I'm sorry. Not being there to see what exactly is happening and how things are being checked makes it difficult. I hope you understand.

Everything I have checked indicates when both codes are present, there is a ground problem.

Hi:
I'm sorry but there was no resolve to that problem listed. If the tech found one, he never posted it. I checked for you.
