The error code “P17BF/006079 – Pump Protection Maximum Limit Reached” indicates that the transmission control unit has detected a condition where the hydraulic pump in the transmission has reached its maximum protection limit. This is often a safeguard to prevent damage due to excessive pressure or overheating.
