Hi,

The code is related to low transmission line pressure. Have you checked the fluid level and condition? I ask because that could cause it. By any chance did you have the transmission fluid recently changed? A misaligned filter can cause it as well.

Let me know. There are several things that could cause this, but with the number of miles, I suspect it is something not too serious.

To check the transmission fluid level and condition requires a "special" dipstick. I attached the directions below.

Let me know what you find

Take care,

Joe

Thank you, I also replaced the transmission pressure sensor. I still get the same code.

Okay. Keep in mind there is a pressure-control solenoid as well. Is that what was replaced or only the switch? I attached a pic below. Was anything else done?

If you look below starting with pic 2, I attached the description, possible causes, and the diagnostics specific to the code itself. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Take care,

Joe
