Hi,

At some point there is a short to the electronic pressure control solenoid. It is located on the valve body in the transmission. Based on the code, I suspect there is a short to power (12v).

If you look at pic 1, it defines the code. Pic 2 and 3 are the start of the diagnostics for repair. I don't know if you are comfortable with the procedure, so let me know. The last pic shows the solenoid I am referring to.

If you feel comfortable testing, here are a few links you may find helpful.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
