What P0810 means
P0810 reports a control error of an electronically or hydraulically operated clutch: commanded and actual position differ too much or for too long. It is documented on Stellantis plug-in hybrids – Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe with the 8P75PH transmission – where it concerns the K0 disconnect clutch between engine and electric motor. According to the 2024 and 2025 bulletins the clutch adaptation ran at standstill or in electric mode, drive was lost until the next key cycle and the MIL came on; the cause was too tight setting parameters, fixed with new transmission software, partly together with P2885. On automated or dual-clutch gearboxes the same idea applies when the clutch actuator misses its target position.

Symptoms of P0810
- Check engine lamp on
- Transmission warning message
- Loss of drive until the next key cycle
Common causes of P0810
- Most likelyControl unit software with too tight parameters
- PossibleClutch actuator or hydraulics (pressure, valve) faulty
- PossibleClutch position sensor inaccurate
- Less likelyWrong or aged fluid, worn clutch
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0810 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 8 | Area: transmission. |
| 10 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0810 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P0810
What does P0810 mean?
P0810 means "Clutch Position Control Error". P0810 reports a control error of an electronically or hydraulically operated clutch: commanded and actual position differ too much or for too long. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0810?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P0810 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P0810 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P0810 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P0810 to fix?
Difficulty: medium. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 4 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P0810 clear itself after the repair?
Clear the code with a scanner after the repair. If the fault is fixed, it does not come back.
