What Does P2736 Mean?
The TCM has detected an open circuit in the control circuit for pressure control solenoid F. This means there is a break in the electrical pathway preventing the TCM from controlling the solenoid.
Common Causes
35%
Broken wire in pressure control solenoid F circuit
30%
Disconnected or severely corroded connector at solenoid F
20%
Failed pressure control solenoid F with open coil
10%
Damaged connector pins with no contact
5%
TCM connector terminal pushed out or corroded
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Inspect solenoid F connector to verify it is fully seated and locked in place
2
Step 2: Check for continuity from TCM connector to solenoid F connector on control wire
3
Step 3: Measure resistance of solenoid F coil (infinite resistance indicates open coil)
4
Step 4: Inspect both TCM and solenoid connectors for pushed-out pins or terminal damage
5
Step 5: If continuity is broken, trace wiring harness to locate break point and repair
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $800
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The TCM has detected an open circuit in the control circuit for pressure control solenoid F. This means there is a break in the electrical pathway preventing the TCM from controlling the solenoid.
The most common cause of P2736 (Pressure Control Solenoid "F" Control Circuit/Open) is: Broken wire in pressure control solenoid F circuit
Typical repair costs for P2736 range from $150 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Transmission will likely enter limp mode with limited functionality. Vehicle can be driven cautiously to a repair shop but will have reduced performance and may be stuck in one gear.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2736 to identify the root cause.
