What does code P1833 mean?

Q: What does code P1833 mean?

A/T Solenoids Power Circuit Low Voltage. P1833 on a GM vehicle means the transmission control module (TCM) has detected low voltage on the power feed circuit that supplies the automatic transmission solenoids. The TCM monitors the solenoid power circuit and sets this code when the voltage drops below the expected threshold, indicating a short to ground, high resistance, or a failing power source.
