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.

Symptoms

What are the symptoms of the P2826 code?

  • Jerky or harsh shifting between gears
  • Delay in transmission engagement
  • Illuminated check engine light
  • Poor acceleration performance
  • Potential overheating of the transmission

Causes

What causes the P2826 code?

  • Faulty Pressure Control Solenoid J
  • Damaged wiring or connectors in the control circuit
  • Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM)
  • Low transmission fluid levels
  • Clogged transmission filter

Possible Solutions

How to fix P2826?

  • Inspect and repair any damaged wiring or connectors in the control circuit.
  • Replace the Pressure Control Solenoid J if it is found to be faulty.
  • Verify and correct transmission fluid levels and condition.
  • Check and replace the transmission filter if it's clogged.
