P2714: Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off
The P2714 code indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected a malfunction in the pressure control solenoid D, which is responsible for regulating hydraulic pressure within the transmission. The solenoid is commanded to a specific duty cycle, but the TCM detects that the actual pressure response is not within expected parameters, suggesting the solenoid is stuck in the off position or performing poorly. This can lead to harsh or delayed shifts, slipping, or loss of gear engagement.
01. Most Common Causes
- Faulty pressure control solenoid D
- Low or contaminated transmission fluid
- Wiring or connector issues in the solenoid circuit
- Internal transmission mechanical failure
02. Symptoms You Will Notice
- Check Engine Light illuminated
- Harsh or delayed shifts
- Transmission slipping or overheating
- Reduced fuel economy
03. Step-by-Step Diagnosis
Step 1: Scan for codes and record freeze frame data.
Step 2: Check transmission fluid level and condition; top off or replace if necessary.
Step 3: Inspect wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Step 4: Test solenoid resistance and operation using a multimeter or scan tool.
Step 5: If solenoid is faulty, replace it and clear codes; test drive to confirm repair.

05. Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with this code?▼
It is not recommended to drive long distances as the transmission may slip or overheat, potentially causing severe internal damage. Limit driving to short trips to a repair shop.
How much does it cost to fix?▼
The cost to replace a pressure control solenoid typically ranges from $50 to $150 for the part, plus labor if done by a shop. DIY replacement can save on labor costs.
