U3173 Mitsubishi Space Wagon OBD Code

OBD/2 U3173 error code description and symptoms.

The Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch allows the engine's control module (PCM) or Transmission Control Module (TCM) to use hydraulic fluid to engage the clutches in the transmission to allow for smoother shifting while driving. If the PCM or TCM detects an issue with the hydraulic clutch or the pressure switch, the PCM or TCM will set code U3173

Circuit High Input codes like U3173 are mostly caused by defective alternators that develop excessive voltages, although there may be other causes as well, such as short circuits that 'leak' current into a particular system from other, unrelated systems that work on higher voltages. Note that in the case of short circuits that leak power into a control circuit, there is likely to be other, seemingly unrelated trouble codes present along with the code(s) being investigated. Diagnosing a 'high input' code will always involve a thorough testing of the charging system as a first step, followed by measures to isolate the system from all other possible sources of power during resistance, continuity, and reference voltage tests.

If your cruise control related malfunction check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system U3173 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different cruise control related malfunction, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

Common Causes of Mitsubishi Space Wagon U3173 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U3173 is the failure of Cruise Control Related Malfunction, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty Air Flow Meter
Ignition misfiring

U3173 is a kind of Network Trouble Code

U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.
