P2716Pressure Control Solenoid D Electrical
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2716 is the general electrical code for pressure control solenoid D: the output stage sees a wrong current or voltage on the coil, without saying whether the circuit is open, grounded or shorted to supply. No manufacturer documents P2716 publicly. The makers that publish data on valve D split its electrical checks instead: GM's 2016 eight-speed table uses P2718, P2720 and P2721 with 0.3 s fail times, and Ford's 2024 summary gives the same three codes for open load, shorted switch and shorted load. CARB requires the circuits of transmission solenoids to be monitored as comprehensive components. When a controller does use this broad code, the cause is usually a coil, a connector or the harness, and the gearbox drops into a fail-safe mode with fixed gears.
