P282F Fault Code

Pressure Control Solenoid K Control Circuit Low

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P282F fault code indicates a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid K control circuit being low. This typically means that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a lower than expected voltage or performance from the Pressure Control Solenoid K responsible for regulating fluid pressure in the transmission system. This can affect the overall transmission performance and lead to issues in shifting gears.

What are the symptoms of the P282F code?

• Erratic or harsh shifting of gears
• Slipping transmission
• Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated
• Poor acceleration or engine performance
• Transmission overheating due to pressure mismanagement

What causes the P282F code?

• Faulty Pressure Control Solenoid K
• Wiring issues or damaged connectors in the control circuit
• Issues with the Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Low transmission fluid levels or poor fluid quality
• Electrical problems such as short circuits or open circuits

How to fix P282F?

• Inspect and repair any damaged wiring or connectors in the Pressure Control Solenoid circuit.
• Replace the faulty Pressure Control Solenoid K if it’s found to be defective.
• Check and refill the transmission fluid to the appropriate level and condition.
• Perform a thorough diagnosis of the ECM and replace if necessary.
• Clear the fault code and take the vehicle for a test drive to ensure the issue has been resolved.
