P07FF

Cold Start Transmission Performance

High severity

What it means

During the cold-start phase the transmission does not behave to specification — typically very slow shifts, missed shifts or harsh engagement at low ATF temperature. Common causes are degraded ATF (lost cold-flow viscosity), a stuck thermostat or aged solenoid drivers.
