What does code P08D0 mean?

Q: What does code P08D0 mean?

Shift Solenoid J Intermittent. P08D0 indicates that the transmission control module has detected an intermittent electrical fault in the circuit for shift solenoid J, which is one of the solenoids that controls hydraulic pressure for gear shifting. The computer sets this code when the solenoid's current or voltage momentarily falls outside the expected range, but the fault is not continuous enough to be classified as a hard failure.
