DTC Descriptors

DTC P2714
- Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 4 - Stuck Off

DTC P2715
- Pressure Control (PC) Solenoid 4 - Stuck On

Circuit/System Description

Pressure control solenoid 4 is part of the control solenoid valve assembly which has no serviceable components. Pressure control solenoid 4 regulates transmission fluid pressure to the 2-6 clutch regulator valve which controls pressure to the 2-6 clutch. The transmission control module (TCM) calculates gear ratio based on the speed signals from the input shaft speed (ISS) sensor and the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor. The TCM compares the expected transmission gear ratio to the calculated gear ratio for each commanded gear.

* Engine speed is 400-7,500 RPM for 5 s.

* Transmission output shaft speed is 36 RPM or greater, or the throttle position is 0.5 % or greater.

* Commanded and attained range is not 1st gear.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P2714

TCM has detected an incorrect gear ratio or neutral condition when the 2-6 clutch is commanded ON. This condition must occur 3 times.

P2715

TCM has detected an incorrect gear ratio change when the 2-6 clutch is commanded OFF during a shift or, when 2nd gear ratio is detected in 1st gear. This condition must occur 3 times.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

P2714

* DTC P2714 is a Type A DTC.

Circuit/System Verification

Warning: Refer to Parking Brake and Drive Wheels Warning Parking Brake and Drive Wheels Warning.


Note: If other DTCs are set, diagnose those DTCs first.

1. Engine idling with transmission in Park, with parking brake applied and drive wheels chocked.

2. Verify the transmission fluid level and condition is correct. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check.

If the transmission fluid level and condition is not correct
Repair as necessary.

If the transmission fluid level and condition is correct

3. Ignition ON, clear the TCM DTCs with a scan tool.

4. Verify DTC P2714 or P2715 does not set while performing a road test. Refer to Road Test Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

If DTC P2714 or P2715 sets

Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If DTC P2714 or P2715 does not set

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

6. Verify the DTC does not set.

If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If DTC does not set

7. All OK.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.

1. Verify the transmission line pressures are within the specified range. Refer to Line Pressure Check Line Pressure Check and Solenoid Valve Pressure Solenoid Valve Pressure.

If the pressures are not within range
Refer to Fluid Pressure High or Low Fluid Pressure High or Low.

If the pressures are within range

2. Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.

3. Verify the pressure changes for all solenoids when performing the solenoid test. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test.

If the pressure does not change
Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
