Code P0868

Good afternoon,

The CVT transmission is one that most guys will not touch. This code is for the secondary pump inside.

If that is the case, the best result is to replace it.

I have a few and they are not easy but expensive. The dealer also recommends replacing it as well. They will not open one up and do any parts replacing at all.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check other diagnosis codes.

Q: Are other diagnosis codes set?
YES: Go to the appropriate troubleshooting.
NO: Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check the following connector:
B-08 CVT assembly connector
C-40 TCM connector
A-09 Intermediate connector

Check contacts for internal short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair the defective connector.

STEP 3. Check for short to ground in the wiring harness between the TCM connector and the CVT assembly connector.
Between C-40 TCM connector (terminal No.39) and B-08 CVT assembly connector (terminal No.7)

OK: 100 Ohms or more

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Repair the wiring harness.

STEP 4. Symptom recheck after erasing diagnosis code

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: Intermittent malfunction
NO: Replace the TCM, and then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Retest the system.

Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: The inspection is complete.
NO: Replace the CVT assembly.
