P1860 tells you that the TCC PWM solenoid is electrically faulty. The acronym stands for Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation. It's a fancy name for the solenoid that controls the torque converter clutch. It's a common failure item; unfortunately, you probably won't be able to replace it. It is under the side cover of the transaxle, and you either have to remove the transaxle or be very creative in order to replace it with the transaxle in the vehicle. Labor time to replace it is in the order of 8-10 hours.
