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 replace transmission hydraulic parts before verifying pressure sensor C circuit and actual pressure behavior.
