P276C: Electric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump B Motor Supply Voltage Circuit High

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P27xx — Transmission

What does P276C mean?

The motor supply voltage of the second auxiliary transmission fluid pump is above the operating range.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Common causes

  • High Alternator regulator failed to limit output
  • Low Wiring shorted to a higher-voltage circuit
  • Low Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
