This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has detected a problem with the electric pump that helps move the transmission fluid. It's like when a toy's battery is running low, and it can't work properly.
The P0C24 code is triggered when the control module for the electric or auxiliary transmission fluid pump detects a low voltage or signal issue in the circuit.
The electric or auxiliary transmission fluid pump is responsible for maintaining the proper flow of transmission fluid, especially in hybrid or electric vehicles. The control module monitors the pump's operation and ensures it receives the correct voltage. If the voltage is lower than expected, the P0C24 code is set.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Faulty electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump
• Damaged wiring or connectors in the pump circuit
• Faulty control module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, a system for self-diagnosing and reporting vehicle issues
Transmission Fluid: A liquid that lubricates and cools the components of a vehicle's transmission
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion
• Test the pump's voltage and resistance
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors
• Replace the faulty transmission fluid pump
• Replace the control module if necessary
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools

Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Ford Fusion Hybrid
• Regularly check and maintain transmission fluid levels
• Inspect wiring and connectors for wear and tear
• Ensure the vehicle's electrical system is in good condition
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved to prevent further damage
• Consult a professional mechanic for accurate diagnosis and repair
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on hybrid or electric vehicle components.
This code is more common in hybrid and electric vehicles due to their reliance on electric pumps for transmission fluid circulation.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to avoid potential transmission damage.
Driving with a faulty transmission pump can lead to transmission damage and is not recommended.
• Vehicle should be in a safe, stationary position
• Ensure the vehicle's battery is fully charged
The electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump is typically located near the transmission assembly.
Q: Can I drive with the P0C24 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can lead to transmission damage.
Q: How do I reset the P0C24 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is fixed, it should not return.
