Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the CVT driven pulley pressure sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.?

Determine possible failure area (PDN line, others):
Determine possible failure area (PDN line, others)
The PDN wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or replace the original PCM.?
NO
Repair an open in the PDN wire between the CVT driven pulley pressure sensor and the PCM.?
