What does this fault code mean?
The code concerns the transmission output speed being too low compared with the engine speed, which indicates that clutch C2 is slipping. It is event controlled, so it is an information code and does not mean the control module is faulty. The code is set when the speed difference is too large.
Possible causes
- Dirt in the hydraulic system
- Poor transmission fluid quality
- Clutch C2 is damaged or worn
What you can do
- 1Fix any other fault codes stored for the transmission first, as they often go together with this code.
- 2If you have a diagnostic tool: compare the transmission output speed with the engine speed in live data while you accelerate through gears 4 to 6.
- 3Have a workshop check the transmission oil level and quality. Debris in the oil, such as metal particles, can indicate wear.
- 4Have a workshop check clutch C2 and its linear pressure solenoid, as wear or damage there can cause the code.
- 5After a repair, have a workshop reset the adaptation and the oil quality counter.
Symptoms you may notice5
- Gear changes take a long time
- Poor performance and lack of power, especially when setting off from standstill
- Hesitation, surging or jerky running when slowing down
- Hesitation, surging or jerky running at a steady speed
- Hesitation, surging or jerky running when accelerating
What the fault can affect2
- The control module requests torque limiting from the engine control module while the fault is active
- The slipping lock-up function is blocked
