Aspen Hybrid Aux Trans Pump
 

Coworker has a 2009 Aspen Hybrid. His electric motor hasn't been working in a long time and his check engine light has been on. I used my code reader and we pulled a code for the aux transmission pump. (Don't remember the code off hand) but I'm assuming that it's a failsafe feature because the trans wouldn't have fluid pumping through it without the gas motor running. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I know nothing about hybrids)

We checked fuses and everything was fine, looks like a replacement aux pump is about $400 give or take.

Any advice on replacing it, would it be simple enough to do in the driveway or is it more involved than it looks?

Thanks for any advice.
