What does this fault code mean?

Hydraulic pressure is missing on both clutches in the transmission. If solenoid CCFS jams in the closed position, the safety valve CPCUT closes, so the clutches receive no pressure. The cause is a damaged solenoid or a damaged safety valve.

Possible causes

Damaged solenoid
Damaged safety valve
