How do I fix code P0804 HUMMER?

  Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.

Cost of diagnosing the P0804 HUMMER code

  The cost of diagnosing the P0804 HUMMER code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

When is the code detected

  When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) commands the control circuit to a component OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit should be high (near battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, the fault line status changes causing theP0804 code is set.

Possible Symptoms

  • Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

P0804 HUMMER Description

  An ignition voltage is supplied to the Skip Shift Lamp. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the lamp by grounding the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The driver supplies the ground for the component being controlled. Each driver has a fault line which the PCM monitors. When the PCM commands a component ON, the voltage of the control circuit should be low (near 0 volts).
