The 2016 Nissan Altima transmission fluid pressure sensor is located on the side of the transmission housing. The transmission oil pressure switch is unique in that its sole purpose is to collect data about the pressure found inside the transmission case, which impacts the timing and operation of shifting a vehicle to a higher or lower gear if needed.The transmission oil pressure sensor's primary function is to relay information to the ECM that regulates the control of the transmission. However, if the switch is damaged or not sending information correctly to the ECM, the transmission may default into "limp" mode. In this case, the transmission will be locked into the "limp" gear, such as a third or fourth higher gear ratio.
