P07CC Transmission Mode Switch C Circuit Low
Transmission mode switch C input reads stuck low — short to ground or stuck-closed contact. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Is it safe to drive with P07CC?
Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
Common causes
- Most likelySwitch wire shorted to ground
