By far the most common cause of this code is from a defective traction control ON/OFF switch. Liquids spilled into the traction control switch are a very common cause of this type of failure.. Other causes may include open, shorted, corroded, or otherwise damaged wiring and/or electrical connectors. Technicians also report the presence of excessive corrosion in the sensor connector as the cause of this code being stored. How do you troubleshoot P0866 ? If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition. Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector. Check to make sure they are not burnt or corroded. If in doubt, get some Electrical Contact cleaner at any parts store if cleaning of the terminals is needed. Searches related to P0866 Code - TCM Communication Circuit High P0866 P0867
