    What does P0878 Mean?

    The P0878 code means that the PCM has detected an abnormal pressure reading from the transmission fluid pressure sensor or switch. The pressure detected can be either too high or low when compared to manufacturer specifications.

    How do you troubleshoot P0878 ?

    Look at the plug wires to make sure they are not burnt or laying on the exhaust. With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground. Look for rubbing, scraping, bare wires, worn spots or melted plastic connectors. Pull the connectors apart and carefully look at the terminals (the metal parts) inside the connectors.
