P2826 Fault Code
P2826 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description
Pressure Control Solenoid J Control Circuit Low
What does trouble code P2826 mean?
The P2826 fault code indicates an issue with the Pressure Control Solenoid J control circuit being too low. This solenoid is responsible for regulating transmission fluid pressure, which is crucial for proper gear shifting and overall transmission performance. When the control circuit signals a low voltage, it can lead to poor transmission operation and increased wear on internal components.
