P2710Shift Solenoid F Intermittent
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2710 is the sporadic counterpart to P2709: the circuit of shift solenoid F drops out now and then and recovers, so a check at standstill often finds nothing. In Ford's 2024 OBD summary it equals P2706 with the intermittent byte 1F in the general solenoid list and in the 8F57 and 8F24 tables; the tables for 10R60/10R80 and 8F35/8F40 instead list P2710 for a short to supply voltage. The electrical test runs continuously and reports a fault once the smart driver has signalled a problem for 1.5 s. CARB requires automatic transmission solenoids to be monitored for circuit faults as comprehensive components. No other maker publishes the code with details. Loose pins, rubbing wires near the valve body or moisture in a connector are the usual suspects, and the fault may show only when hot or on rough roads.
- What you may notice
- Occasional harsh shift or brief fail-safe operation
- MIL that comes and goes with the fault
- No fault found during a static circuit test
- Likely causes
- LikelyLoose or spread terminal at the transmission or module connector
- PossibleWire rubbing through intermittently inside or outside the case
- PossibleMoisture or corrosion in the connector
- RareHeat-dependent internal break in the solenoid coil
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
