The P2716 code means the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system has detected: Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off. This is a serious severity code.
- Keep driving?
- Short distances only
- DIY difficulty
- Advanced
- Estimated cost
- $250 - $800 (solenoid replacement); $1,500 - $3,500 (valve body/rebuild)
Read and clear transmission codes. Many trans codes are caused by low or burnt fluid -- check level and color before assuming the worst.
Basic scanners only read engine codes. This reads transmission, ABS, and airbag too.

What Causes P2716? (Most Likely First)
- Failed pressure control solenoid D High
- Contaminated transmission fluid clogging solenoid High
- Wiring fault in solenoid D circuit Medium
- Valve body wear affecting solenoid performance Medium
- TCM/PCM driver circuit failure Low
Can I Still Drive with P2716?
Short distances only. P2716 is rated serious severity. Keep trips short and get it diagnosed soon rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.

Mechanics Guide Step-by-step diagnosis
How Do You Diagnose P2716?
-
Scan for codes and confirm P2716 with freeze frame data
-
Check transmission fluid level and condition - dark or burnt fluid indicates contamination
-
Measure solenoid D resistance (compare to manufacturer specification, typically 2-10 ohms)
-
Test solenoid D operation by commanding it on/off with a scan tool
-
Inspect valve body for debris and wear if solenoid tests good
