This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that a part of the car that helps move the transmission fluid isn't working right. It's like when a toy's battery is low and it can't run as fast.
The code P0C2C indicates an issue with the feedback signal from the electric or auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module. The signal is either out of range or not performing as expected.
The P0C2C code is set when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the feedback signal from the electric or auxiliary transmission fluid pump control module is not within the expected range or is not performing correctly. This can affect the operation of the transmission fluid pump, which is crucial for maintaining proper transmission fluid pressure and ensuring smooth gear shifts.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Transmission may not shift properly
• Unusual noises from the transmission
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Vehicle may enter limp mode
• Faulty electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump
• Wiring issues or poor connections in the pump circuit
• Defective control module
• Low transmission fluid levels
• Internal transmission issues
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the pump
• Check the transmission fluid level and condition
• Test the electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump
• Check the control module for faults
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors
• Replace the electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump if faulty
• Replace or reprogram the control module if needed
• Refill or replace transmission fluid
• Perform a transmission system inspection
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Transmission fluid pump tester
$200 - $800
Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Ford Fusion Hybrid
• Regularly check transmission fluid levels
• Inspect wiring and connectors for damage
• Perform scheduled maintenance on the transmission system
Sensor Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional
• Avoid driving the vehicle until the issue is resolved
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on transmission components.
This code has been more common in hybrid vehicles due to their complex transmission systems.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to prevent further transmission issues.
Ignoring this code can lead to transmission damage, which may be costly and pose safety risks.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Transmission in normal operating mode
The electric/auxiliary transmission fluid pump is typically located near the transmission assembly.
Q: Can I drive with a P0C2C code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can lead to further transmission damage.
Q: How do I reset the Check Engine Light after fixing the issue?
A: Use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code after the repairs are completed.
