What Does P2715 Mean?
The pressure control solenoid D is mechanically stuck in the on position, causing continuous application of hydraulic pressure. The TCM cannot command the solenoid to release pressure properly.
Common Causes
40%
Mechanically stuck pressure control solenoid D in applied position
25%
Debris or foreign material holding solenoid valve open
20%
Electrical short circuit keeping solenoid energized
10%
Failed TCM output driver stuck on
5%
Swollen solenoid seals from wrong fluid type or contamination
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Use scan tool to command solenoid D off and monitor if current flow stops (indicates electrical vs mechanical fault)
2
Step 2: Disconnect solenoid D electrical connector and check if transmission behavior changes
3
Step 3: Measure solenoid circuit for short to voltage or ground at harness connector
4
Step 4: Remove pressure control solenoid D and inspect for debris, varnish buildup, or mechanical binding
5
Step 5: Verify proper transmission fluid type is installed and flush system if contaminated or incorrect
Estimated Repair Cost
$250 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The pressure control solenoid D is mechanically stuck in the on position, causing continuous application of hydraulic pressure. The TCM cannot command the solenoid to release pressure properly.
The most common cause of P2715 (Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Stuck On) is: Mechanically stuck pressure control solenoid D in applied position
Typical repair costs for P2715 range from $250 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Stuck-on pressure control can prevent proper gear changes, cause binding between gears, or create excessive clutch pack pressure leading to harsh operation. Avoid extended driving to prevent clutch damage.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2715 to identify the root cause.
