The P2716 fault code indicates an issue with the Pressure Control Solenoid D's electrical circuit. This component plays a crucial role in regulating transmission fluid pressure, directly impacting the transmission's performance and shifting capabilities. When this fault code is triggered, it signifies an electrical malfunction that may stem from wiring issues, a faulty solenoid, or problems within the transmission control module.

What are the symptoms of the P2716 code?

Drivers may experience various symptoms when the P2716 code is present, such as:

• Erratic or harsh shifting in the transmission.
• Delayed engagement when shifting from park to drive or reverse.
• Increased fuel consumption due to improper gear changes.
• Transmission warning light illuminated on the dashboard.

What causes the P2716 code?

Possible causes for the P2716 code include:

• Damaged or frayed wiring harness affecting the electrical supply to the solenoid.
• A defective Pressure Control Solenoid D that isn't functioning as intended.
• Poor connections or corroded terminals impacting the solenoid's electrical signal.
• A fault in the transmission control module that disrupts solenoid operation.

How to fix P2716?

To resolve the P2716 code, consider taking the following steps:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors leading to the Pressure Control Solenoid D for signs of wear or damage, and repair or replace as necessary.
• Test the Pressure Control Solenoid D using a multimeter to check for correct resistance values, replacing it if it is faulty.
• Clear the fault code from the vehicle's ECU and perform a test drive to see if it reoccurs.
• If the problem persists, further diagnose the transmission control module to ensure it is functioning properly.
