• Solutions

The P2723 fault code indicates a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid E, which is crucial for regulating transmission fluid pressure. This code typically suggests that the solenoid is either not functioning as intended, possibly due to mechanical issues or electrical faults. When this solenoid is malfunctioning, it can lead to improper shifting, increased wear on transmission components, and potential overheating.

What are the symptoms of the P2723 code?

Symptoms associated with the P2723 code may include:

• Erratic or harsh shifting
• Slipping transmission
• Delay in engagement when shifting gears
• Transmission overheating warnings
• Check Engine Light illuminated on the dashboard

What causes the P2723 code?

Common causes of the P2723 code include:

• Faulty Pressure Control Solenoid E
• Wiring issues or damaged connectors related to the solenoid
• Low transmission fluid levels or dirty fluid
• Internal transmission malfunctions, such as worn components or clogs
• ECM (Engine Control Module) issues that misinterpret the solenoid's performance

How to fix P2723?

To resolve the P2723 fault code, consider the following steps:

• Inspect and, if necessary, replace the Pressure Control Solenoid E.
• Check the wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion and repair as needed.
• Ensure that the transmission fluid is at the correct level and is clean; if not, perform a transmission fluid change.
• Scan and clear any other related fault codes to ensure they do not interfere with the functionality of the solenoid.
• If the problem persists, further diagnosis of the transmission system may be required to identify any underlying issues.
