P276FElectric/Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump B Motor Current High

P276F indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected excessive current draw in the electrical circuit for the auxiliary transmission fluid pump B motor. This pump is used in some automatic transmissions to maintain fluid pressure when the engine is stopped, such as during idle-stop or hybrid operation, and high current typically points to a shorted motor winding, damaged wiring, or a faulty pump control module.
