P0968 — Pressure Control Solenoid C Control Circuit Open

System: Powertrain  |  Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard)  |  Make: Generic

About P0968

P0968 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P0968 is stored, the module has detected an open (broken or disconnected) electrical path in the monitored circuit.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0968 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P0968 fault code is set when the control module detects an open circuit condition in the control circuit of Pressure Control Solenoid C. This solenoid is crucial for the operation of automatic transmissions, where it regulates hydraulic pressure to assist in gear shifting and control of the torque converter clutch. An open circuit condition means there is a break in the electrical path, preventing electrical current from reaching Pressure Control Solenoid C. This can occur due to broken wires, disconnected connectors, or a malfunction within the solenoid. An open circuit in this control ci...
