Common causes of trouble code P0843 include a faulty transmission fluid pressure control solenoid, faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor, dirty or contaminated transmission fluid and/or blocked filter, and internal/external transmission line blockages. A simple, harmless attempt at a repair could include simply changing the fluid and replacing the filter. However, there are tests that can be performed on the hardware components and it is not a bad idea to perform those tests first as component replacement, if required in the end, will require draining (and replacing) the fluid anyway. A point is although changing the fluid is harmless, it is best to diagnose the actual cause of the trouble code first. If you desire a diagnostic that will pinpoint the fault, the recommended service is a Check Engine Light diagnostic.
