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 authorize a rebuild from P0894 alone; prove where slip occurs and check fluid, pressure, and sensor data first.
