P2707 Fault Code

Shift Solenoid F Performance/Stuck Off

• What does that mean?

• Causes
• Solutions

The P2707 fault code indicates an issue with the performance of the shift solenoid, specifically when it is stuck in the 'off' position. This solenoid plays a crucial role in the transmission system, controlling the flow of transmission fluid to facilitate gear shifts. A malfunction can lead to harsh shifting, slipping, or the inability to shift gears altogether.

What are the symptoms of the P2707 code?

Drivers may experience several symptoms when this code is present, including:

• Delayed or harsh shifting during gear changes.
• The transmission may slip or fail to engage properly.
• The warning light on the dashboard may illuminate, indicating a transmission issue.
• Unusual noises while shifting, such as grinding or whining.

What causes the P2707 code?

Common causes of this fault code include:

• Faulty shift solenoid that has failed or become stuck.
• Wiring issues such as shorts, opens, or corrosion that disrupt the electrical signals to the solenoid.
• Low transmission fluid levels or contamination, affecting the hydraulic pressure and the solenoid's operation.
• Malfunctioning transmission control module (TCM) that is not properly communicating with the solenoid.

How to fix P2707?

To resolve the P2707 fault code, consider these steps:

• Inspect and possibly replace the shift solenoid if it is found to be faulty.
• Check wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion, repairing as necessary.
• Ensure the transmission fluid level is adequate and that it is clean; perform a fluid change if contaminated.
• If necessary, reprogram or replace the transmission control module to restore proper communication.
