2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0863 relates to a communication circuit problem between the transmission control module (TCM) and the vehicle's control system. This code typically indicates a malfunction or interruption in the communication between the TCM and the control system.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Light illuminated

  • Issues with transmission shifting, such as delayed or erratic shifting

  • Inability to shift gears

  • Transmission stuck in a particular gear

  • Limited drivability due to the communication problem between the TCM and the control system

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

  • Wiring or connection issues in the TCM communication circuit

  • Loose or corroded connectors in the TCM system

  • Faulty engine control module (ECM) or other control modules

  • Intermittent communication issues between the TCM and the control system

Related Parts:

  • Traction Control Module (TCM): Most modern vehicles are equipped with anti-lock brakes and traction control. Traction Control Module (TCM) is the part of the car computer that controls the electronic stability system (ESC) of the car. Problem leads to inefficient braking, ABS not working

Possible Solutions:

  • Test and replace the faulty transmission control module (TCM), if necessary

  • Inspect and repair the TCM communication circuit for any wiring or connection problems

  • Ensure the connectors in the TCM system are securely connected and free from corrosion

  • Test and replace the faulty engine control module (ECM) or other control modules, if necessary

  • Inspect for any intermittent communication issues and repair as needed
