Upshift/Skip Shift Solenoid Control Circuit High
Skip-shift solenoid control circuit reads stuck high — short to battery voltage or open coil. 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.
