Pressure Control Solenoid "D"
P2713 indicates the transmission control module has detected a malfunction with Pressure Control Solenoid D, which regulates hydraulic pressure in the transmission. This solenoid controls fluid flow to manage gear shifts, and when it fails, transmission operation becomes compromised.
What You Might Notice
- Check Engine Light illuminated
- Vehicle enters limp mode or reduced power mode
- Transmission slips during gear shifts
- Transmission overheating
- Delayed or hard gear engagement
- Decreased fuel economy
Most Common Causes
- 1
Defective Pressure Control Solenoid D
The solenoid coil may be burned out, stuck open or closed, or electrically faulty, preventing proper hydraulic pressure regulation.
- 2
Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid
Degraded fluid can clog solenoid passages and prevent smooth solenoid operation, causing control pressure loss.
- 3
Clogged or dirty transmission filter
A restricted filter reduces hydraulic flow to the solenoid and throughout the transmission system.
- 4
Wiring or connector issues
Corroded connectors, damaged wiring, or loose connections prevent proper electrical signal to the solenoid.
How to Diagnose It
- 1
Check Defective Pressure Control Solenoid D — The solenoid coil may be burned out, stuck open or closed, or electrically faulty, preventing proper hydraulic pressure regulation.
- 2
Check Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid — Degraded fluid can clog solenoid passages and prevent smooth solenoid operation, causing control pressure loss.
- 3
Check Clogged or dirty transmission filter — A restricted filter reduces hydraulic flow to the solenoid and throughout the transmission system.
- 4
Check Wiring or connector issues — Corroded connectors, damaged wiring, or loose connections prevent proper electrical signal to the solenoid.
How to Fix It
- 1
Replace Pressure Control Solenoid D
Remove and install a new or remanufactured pressure control solenoid D, ensuring proper connector seating and torque specifications.
- 2
Perform transmission fluid and filter service
Drain old transmission fluid, replace the transmission filter, and refill with manufacturer-specified fluid to restore proper hydraulic function.
- 3
Inspect and repair wiring and connectors
Check the solenoid connector for corrosion or damage, clean contacts, repair damaged wiring, and ensure secure connections.
- 4
Inspect transmission valve body
Examine the valve body for stuck valves, restrictions, or damage; clean or replace if necessary to restore pressure control.
