P07A2Transmission Friction Element A Performance/Stuck Off
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Each friction element (clutch or brake) has three functional codes: slip while commanded locked (P079A ff), performance/stuck off – it does not apply or applies too weakly – and stuck on – it does not release. P07A2 concerns clutch A. Ford's DPS6 PowerShift dry dual-clutch (Fiesta, Focus) uses it for clutch A – input shaft 1 with gears 1, 3 and 5 – as 'functionally stuck off', next to the electrical codes of its electric clutch actuator; Ford publishes no thresholds. A GM bulletin for the 2017 LaCrosse and 2017–19 XT5 lists P07A2 as 'transmission clutch 1 performance' together with ratio codes, caused by a misaligned range actuator. GM's hybrids do not use it.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light or transmission warning
- Gear missing or slipping, weak acceleration
- Limp mode
- Likely causes
- LikelyClutch A plates worn or piston seal leaking
- PossibleToo little apply pressure (fluid, pump, valve)
- PossibleClutch actuator or valve sticking (DCT: electric actuator)
- RareModule software or lost adaption
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
