What Does P2737 Mean?
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an abnormal operation pattern in Pressure Control Solenoid F, indicating the solenoid is not responding properly to commands. This suggests internal mechanical wear, contamination, or valve sticking affecting hydraulic pressure regulation.
Common Causes
35%
Worn or contaminated pressure control solenoid F valve assembly causing erratic pressure control
25%
Degraded or contaminated transmission fluid causing solenoid valve sticking or sluggish operation
20%
Internal transmission hydraulic circuit leaks or blockages affecting pressure control
15%
Faulty TCM providing incorrect command signals or misinterpreting feedback
5%
Wiring harness issues causing signal interference or voltage irregularities
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check transmission fluid level, condition, and smell for contamination, burning, or degradation
2
Step 2: Using scan tool, monitor live data for Pressure Control Solenoid F duty cycle and commanded vs actual pressure readings
3
Step 3: Perform solenoid resistance and voltage tests at the connector according to manufacturer specifications
4
Step 4: Drop transmission pan, inspect solenoid F for physical damage, contamination, and test operation with compressed air
5
Step 5: If solenoid tests good, perform hydraulic pressure tests on transmission circuits to identify internal leakage or blockages
Estimated Repair Cost
$300 - $1,500
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an abnormal operation pattern in Pressure Control Solenoid F, indicating the solenoid is not responding properly to commands. This suggests internal mechanical wear, contamination, or valve sticking affecting hydraulic pressure regulation.
The most common cause of P2737 (Pressure Control Solenoid "F" Control Circuit Range/Performance) is: Worn or contaminated pressure control solenoid F valve assembly causing erratic pressure control
Typical repair costs for P2737 range from $300 to $1,500, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
May cause harsh shifting, slipping, or gear engagement issues that could lead to loss of power or unexpected transmission behavior. Continued driving may result in complete transmission failure.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2737 to identify the root cause.
