P0867 on Kia
Transmission Fluid Pressure
P0867 on Kia vehicles indicates transmission fluid pressure. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Kia model — most commonly on Rio. This generic powertrain code indicates the transmission control module detected that the measured transmission fluid (line) pressure is outside the expected range. Proper hydraulic pressure is essential for applying clutches and bands and for smooth, correctly timed shifts, so an out-of-range reading can cause shifting problems. Causes often trace to fluid condition or level, internal hydraulic issues, or a faulty pressure sensor. Typical repair costs on Kia range from $150 to $4,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0867
- •Low or dirty transmission fluid
- •Transmission fluid leak
- •Faulty transmission fluid pressure sensor
- •Damaged wiring or connector to the sensor
- •Worn valve body or stuck pressure control solenoid
- •Clogged transmission filter
- •Internal transmission/pump wear
P0867 on Kia by Model
Kia Rio(1 issue)
- CVT/IVT Hesitation, Jerking, and Delayed Engagement at Low Speed2021-2023
Owners have documented hesitation from a stop, delayed engagement into Drive or Reverse, shuddering at low speed, and inconsistent acceleration behavior from the Rio's Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT/CVT). These complaints are common enough across Hyundai/Kia small-car applications that service information and dealer software updates have been discussed to address shift logic, drivability calibration, and adaptation behavior. In some cases the issue is software-related; in others, internal transmission wear or pulley/belt problems are suspected when symptoms persist.

What does P0867 mean on Kia?▼
P0867 stands for "Transmission Fluid Pressure." This generic powertrain code indicates the transmission control module detected that the measured transmission fluid (line) pressure is outside the expected range. Proper hydraulic pressure is essential for applying clutches and bands and for smooth, correctly timed shifts, so an out-of-range reading can cause shifting problems. Causes often trace to fluid condition or level, internal hydraulic issues, or a faulty pressure sensor. On Kia specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P0867 on Kia vehicles?▼
