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 the vehicle ignored a shift command because of transmission hydraulics before testing the high request circuit.
