Depending on the manufacturer, this code could also mean that the PCM has perceived the torque converter to be slipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PCM monitors the difference between engine speed and transmission output speed. In a specific drive range with the torque converter clutch (TCC) engaged, the engine speed should closely match the transmission output speed. Additionally, in a set drive range with the TCC engaged, the TCC slip speed should be within a certain threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with many other automatic transmission issues, a logged code may be a result of electrical or mechanical failure. When there&rsquo;s an internal transmission problem, such as a lack of fluid pressure or a worn clutch pack, the transmission may not be able to achieve the desired gear ratio due to slippage. In such a scenario, transmission fluid may smell of burnt friction material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the PCM detects a degree of transmission slippage above the maximum allowable parameters, code P0894 may be stored. Trouble code P0894 may also be set when the PCM detects excessive TCC slip when the TCC should be engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want more information on trouble codes like P0894 and the transmission system, read our technical discussion about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0734-code-gear-4-incorrect-ratio\/#OBD_Codes_and_Gear_Ratios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"OBD codes and gear ratios\">OBD codes and gear ratios<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of code P0894 may be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.

However, diagnosing this code can be difficult as it shares similar triggers and symptoms with other DTCs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before attempting a diagnosis, keep in mind that all vehicles are built differently. They may require varying diagnostic procedures depending on their manufacturer. For the appropriate steps, always consult your vehicle repair manual. If DIY auto repair is not for you, you can always seek the help of a mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the P0894 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Code P0894 may be set in vehicles of varying makes and models. However, there is no universal solution for this trouble code. All cars are built differently and may require varying solutions. For instance, a solution that worked for a logged P0894 on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chevrolet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chevy\">Chevy<\/a> might not work on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/toyota\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Toyota\">Toyota<\/a> with the same set code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-you-should-always-consult-a-repair-manual\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"factory repair information\">factory repair information<\/a> specific to your vehicle before working on repairs.
