Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not assume actual fluid temperature is low; a low-input circuit fault can be electrical even when the transmission is warm.
