What Does P2723 Mean?
The transmission control module (TCM) detected that pressure control solenoid E is not responding as commanded or is mechanically stuck in the off position. This solenoid regulates hydraulic pressure for specific clutch packs or transmission functions, and improper operation affects shift quality and transmission performance.
Common Causes
35%
Failed or mechanically stuck pressure control solenoid E
25%
Internal transmission valve body wear or stuck valve
20%
Low transmission fluid level or contaminated ATF
12%
Clogged transmission filter or fluid passages
8%
Worn transmission pump causing low line pressure
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check transmission fluid level and condition; look for contamination, burning smell, or metal particles
2
Step 2: Monitor live data for solenoid E command vs actual pressure readings using advanced scan tool
3
Step 3: Perform solenoid resistance and control circuit voltage tests per manufacturer specifications
4
Step 4: Check transmission line pressure with mechanical gauge to verify pump output
5
Step 5: Remove valve body and inspect solenoid E for mechanical binding and valve body passages for debris
Estimated Repair Cost
$300 - $1,800

The most common cause of P2723 (Pressure Control Solenoid "E" Performance/Stuck Off) is: Failed or mechanically stuck pressure control solenoid E
Typical repair costs for P2723 range from $300 to $1,800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
May cause harsh shifting, slipping, or transmission to enter limp mode. Extended driving can cause internal transmission damage.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2723 to identify the root cause.
