- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain

- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P282C is intended for an intermittent problem at solenoid K. No manufacturer publishes a description; CARB 13 CCR 1968.2 requires monitoring of transmission actuators without prescribing a separate code for sporadic faults. The only documented K application, GM's selector pilot valve in the 2023 Corvette dual-clutch box, confirms its circuit faults after a 100 ms debounce, so a contact breaking for a shorter time can escape the memory while still upsetting the choice of shift rod. On any car with this code, heat and vibration are the prime suspects: check connector locking, pin tension and the internal leads of the mechatronic unit while watching live data, and save the freeze frame before clearing anything.
