P1868 on GM vehicles indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has calculated the transmission fluid life has reached its end, based on accumulated heat cycles and operating conditions. The computer is not detecting a sensor failure but rather a maintenance interval that has expired, so the warning light is a reminder to service the fluid.
Guidance is general and written for GM vehicles. Exact tests and values vary by model, so confirm the fault before replacing parts.
