• Solutions

The P2808 fault code indicates a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid G, which is responsible for regulating hydraulic pressure in the transmission system. This solenoid's performance is crucial for optimal gear shifting and overall transmission function. When it is stuck in the off position or malfunctioning, it can lead to various transmission issues.

What are the symptoms of the P2808 code?

Drivers may notice symptoms such as:

• Erratic or harsh shifting between gears.
• Slipping gears while driving.
• Delayed engagement when shifting into gear.
• The transmission may enter fail-safe mode, limiting performance and preventing further damage.

What causes the P2808 code?

Common causes of the P2808 fault code include:

• A faulty Pressure Control Solenoid G that is not functioning correctly.
• Electrical issues such as damaged wiring or poor connections related to the solenoid.
• Low transmission fluid levels or dirty transmission fluid that can affect solenoid performance.
• A failing transmission control module (TCM) that is not sending the correct signals to the solenoid.

How to fix P2808?

To resolve the P2808 fault code, follow these steps:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors associated with the Pressure Control Solenoid G for any damage or corrosion, and repair as needed.
• Test the solenoid itself for proper operation and replace it if found faulty.
• Check and refill transmission fluid to the recommended level and replace it if it is dirty.
• If issues persist, consider having the transmission control module scanned for faults and replaced if necessary.
