P08C0Pressure Control Solenoid L Control Circuit Range/Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Set when the control circuit of pressure control solenoid L is electrically intact but its behaviour is implausible, for example the current through the coil does not match the commanded value. No manufacturer documents this code publicly; Toyota, the only documented user of letter L, publishes only P08BA71. As an orientation, GM's tables for the comparable solenoid M list a current check next to the circuit tests: a deviation of more than 70 % for 60 ms or more than 400 mA for 300 ms between target and estimated current, without naming P08C9 for it. Causes are a coil with changed resistance, contact resistance or supply problems. P08BF, P08C1 and P08C2 cover clear open or short faults.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Uneven shift quality
- Likely causes
- LikelyCoil resistance out of specification
- PossibleHigh contact resistance at connector pins
- RareUnstable supply voltage to the transmission module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
