P0C1F

Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor Circuit High

The internal temperature sensor reports voltage above the expected window. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

  • Check engine light: Yes
