What Does P2716 Mean?
The transmission control module has detected an electrical fault in pressure control solenoid D circuit. This indicates a problem with the solenoid's electrical connection, wiring, or internal solenoid failure preventing proper operation.
Common Causes
35%
Failed pressure control solenoid D with internal short or open circuit
30%
Damaged or corroded wiring harness or connector to solenoid D
20%
Low or contaminated transmission fluid causing solenoid malfunction
10%
Failed transmission control module (TCM/PCM)
5%
Corroded or loose ground connection in transmission circuit
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Inspect transmission fluid level and condition; check for burnt smell or metal particles
2
Step 2: Visually inspect solenoid D connector and wiring for damage, corrosion, or loose connections
3
Step 3: Measure resistance of pressure control solenoid D (typically 3-15 ohms) and compare to specifications
4
Step 4: Check voltage supply to solenoid D with key on, engine running (should be battery voltage)
5
Step 5: Monitor solenoid command signals with scan tool during operation to verify TCM output
Estimated Repair Cost
$200 - $800
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The transmission control module has detected an electrical fault in pressure control solenoid D circuit. This indicates a problem with the solenoid's electrical connection, wiring, or internal solenoid failure preventing proper operation.
The most common cause of P2716 (Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical) is: Failed pressure control solenoid D with internal short or open circuit
Typical repair costs for P2716 range from $200 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
May cause harsh shifting, transmission slipping, or limp mode activation. Vehicle is generally drivable but transmission damage may occur if driven extensively.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2716 to identify the root cause.
