P2883 — Engine Disconnect Clutch Temperature Too High

The hybrid control module measures engine disconnect clutch temperature above the safe operating threshold. Repeated slip events or insufficient cooling have heated the friction pack.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

Affected components

  • Engine disconnect clutch
  • Transmission fluid cooler

Possible causes to check

These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.

  • Excessive slip during hybrid mode transitions
  • Restricted transmission fluid cooler flow

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
