P0968 Fault Code

Pressure Control Solenoid C Control Circuit / Open

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

• The P0968 fault code indicates a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid C control circuit. This component plays a critical role in managing the hydraulic pressure within the transmission system, affecting its performance.
• An open circuit means there is no electrical continuity, which can lead to improper solenoid operation and subsequently poor transmission performance.

What are the symptoms of the P0968 code?

• Common symptoms associated with the P0968 fault code are:
  • Harsh or erratic shifting in the transmission.
  • Reduced engine performance, especially during acceleration.
  • Transmission slipping or failure to engage gears properly.
  • An illuminated check engine light on the dashboard.

What causes the P0968 code?

• Potential causes of the P0968 code include:
  • A faulty Pressure Control Solenoid C that is not responding as intended.
  • Damaged wiring or connectors in the control circuit.
  • A blown fuse that feeds power to the solenoid.
  • Issues with the transmission control module (TCM) that governs solenoid operation.

How to fix P0968?

• Recommended fixes for the P0968 fault code include:
  • Conducting a thorough inspection of wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion.
  • Testing the Pressure Control Solenoid C for proper operation and replacing it if necessary.
  • Checking and replacing any blown fuses that may affect the circuit.
  • Performing a reset of the transmission control module and re-evaluating for any persistent issues.
