• Solutions

The P2724 fault code indicates an issue with the Pressure Control Solenoid E, which is part of the transmission system. This solenoid regulates the hydraulic pressure within the transmission, playing a crucial role in ensuring smooth gear shifts and overall transmission performance. When the solenoid is 'stuck on', it can lead to improper pressure being applied, potentially causing shifting problems or other transmission-related issues.

What are the symptoms of the P2724 code?

Drivers may notice several symptoms associated with the P2724 code, including:

• Erratic or harsh shifting between gears.
• Delayed engagement when shifting from park to drive or reverse.
• Slipping or poor acceleration during driving.
• Illuminated check engine light on the dashboard.

What causes the P2724 code?

Common causes of the P2724 code can include:

• A malfunctioning Pressure Control Solenoid E that may be stuck in the 'on' position due to wear or electrical issues.
• Wiring issues such as shorts, open circuits, or poor connections in the solenoid circuit.
• Transmission fluid contamination or low fluid levels, which can affect solenoid operation.
• Faulty transmission control module (TCM) that misinterprets the status of the solenoid.

How to fix P2724?

To resolve the P2724 fault code, the following steps are recommended:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the Pressure Control Solenoid E for any signs of damage or corrosion.
• Check the transmission fluid level and quality; replace or refill fluid if contaminated or low.
• Test the functionality of the Pressure Control Solenoid E to determine if it needs replacement.
• If necessary, replace the solenoid and clear the fault code to see if it returns.
• If the issue persists, further diagnosis of the transmission control module may be required.
