P094C: Hydraulic Pump Performance/Stuck Off — what it means, the affected system and what to check before replacing parts.
Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks
Hydraulic-pump performance does not meet the expected condition, or the pump is detected as staying off. The code does not by itself identify an electrical or mechanical root cause.
Affected system: Powertrain
Symptoms
- Warning light may illuminate
- Related system function may be impaired
- Vehicle-specific symptoms vary
Possible causes
- Implausible sensor or switch signal, poor ground, connector corrosion, or wiring damage
- Related wiring, connector, power or ground fault
- Vehicle-specific mechanical or control issue
What to check
- Record stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data
- Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
- Confirm measured values against the vehicle service information
- Retest under the conditions that set the code
- Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
- Repair the verified cause and confirm the code does not return
