The Pressure Control Solenoid E is a crucial component in the vehicle's transmission system, responsible for regulating fluid pressure to ensure optimal shifting performance. When this solenoid encounters issues, it can lead to improper transmission behavior and decreased vehicle performance.

What are the symptoms of the P2722 code?

When there is a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid E, the following symptoms may occur:

• Unusual shifting patterns or harsh gear changes.
• Slipping transmission, particularly during acceleration.
• Delayed engagement when shifting from park to drive.
• Transmission overheating due to improper fluid pressure.

What causes the P2722 code?

Fault in the Pressure Control Solenoid E can be caused by numerous factors including:

• Electrical issues like short circuits or open circuits in the wiring.
• Mechanical failure due to wear and tear over time.
• Contaminated transmission fluid affecting the solenoid's operation.
• Faulty transmission control module that incorrectly signals the solenoid.

How to fix P2722?

To resolve issues with the Pressure Control Solenoid E, the following steps should be taken:

• Perform a diagnostic scan to confirm the fault code and check for related trouble codes.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion.
• Change the transmission fluid if it is dirty or contains debris.
• Replace the faulty Pressure Control Solenoid E with a new or remanufactured unit.
• Clear the fault codes and test drive to ensure proper transmission operation.
