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 keep operating an automated transmission with confirmed pressure loss; clutch or actuator damage can follow.
