P097FShift Solenoid F Control Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Open-circuit fault in the drive circuit of shift solenoid F. It is the only code in its family for letter F, since J2012 has no range/performance, low or high codes for F in this block. No maker was found to document it. Hyundai's Genesis bulletin for the eight-speed (2017–2018 G80 and G90) shows how F is handled in practice: an electrical fault of shift control solenoid F (labelled 8LR) is reported under P2709 and fixed by replacing the solenoid. Other makers with six or more clutches use their own codes. A P097F would follow the CARB requirement to test every transmission output for circuit continuity, by analogy with GM's open tests for solenoids 1 to 3.
- What you may notice

- PossibleBroken wire between module and solenoid F
- RareFaulty driver stage in the transmission control module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
