P2714: Pressure Control Solenoid D Stuck Off (Meaning, Causes, Fixes)

Reviewed 2026-10-23 · Based on 2 cited source(s)

What P2714 means

An automatic transmission shifts gears by sending fluid pressure to clutches and bands at the right moment. Pressure control solenoids, worked by the transmission computer, set that pressure. P2714 is the generic code for pressure control solenoid "D" Performance/Stuck Off, and it is most common on automatic transmissions; OBD-Codes.com lists Toyota, Lexus, GM brands, Nissan, Honda, Acura, Mercedes-Benz, VW and Audi among makes that use it. The sources describe the trigger a little differently. RepairPal says the transmission control module (TCM) sets P2714 when it sees clutch pressure lower than desired. OBD-Codes.com says the powertrain control module (PCM) sets it when solenoid "D" isn't working properly or is stuck in the off position. Which computer runs the transmission depends on the vehicle. Related "D" solenoid codes are P2713, P2715, P2716 and P2717. The sources also differ on severity: RepairPal rates it Urgent, while OBD-Codes.com calls it moderate at first but able to become severe quickly.

Severity: can I keep driving?

Stop and fix promptly

Get it checked soon. RepairPal rates P2714 as Urgent. OBD-Codes.com says it usually starts as moderate but can get severe quickly if it isn't fixed. Slipping, harsh or missed shifts and an overheating transmission can damage the transmission, so check the fluid and avoid hard driving or towing until it is diagnosed. If the car goes into limp mode or the transmission slips badly, have it towed or driven gently to a shop.

Common symptoms

Likely causes

Roughly most to least common, based on the sources below. Your vehicle may differ.

  1. A failed pressure control or shift solenoid (OBD-Codes.com, RepairPal)
  2. Low transmission fluid (RepairPal) or dirty, contaminated fluid (OBD-Codes.com)
  3. A dirty or clogged transmission filter (OBD-Codes.com)
  4. A faulty transmission pump, valve body or restricted hydraulic passages (OBD-Codes.com)
  5. Corroded or damaged connectors or faulty wiring (OBD-Codes.com, RepairPal)
  6. A failed transmission control module or PCM (RepairPal, OBD-Codes.com)

Diagnostic steps you can do

⚠ Before you start

Work on a cool engine, parked on level ground with the parking brake set. Never work under a car supported only by a jack.

  1. Check for technical service bulletins for your vehicle, year and transmission first; OBD-Codes.com says this can save a lot of time.
  2. Check the transmission fluid level and look at its condition for burning or contamination, following your owner's manual's procedure. Look up when the fluid and filter were last changed.
  3. Inspect the wiring and connectors to the transmission solenoids, the transmission pump (if electric) and the computer for damage, corrosion and bent pins.
  4. Read all stored codes. Note any other transmission, solenoid or misfire codes, since OBD-Codes.com warns P2714 can be mistaken for a misfire or other driveline problem.
  5. Electrical checks of the solenoid circuit need a multimeter and the factory specs for your vehicle; check continuity with the power off.

Typical fixes

Repair costs vary widely by vehicle, region, parts brand and shop, so we don't quote prices. Get a written estimate after diagnosis.

🛠 When to call a pro

  • The transmission slips, overheats or goes into limp mode
  • The fluid is burnt, dark or full of debris
  • The code returns after a fluid and filter service
  • Testing needs factory pressure or voltage specs, or the valve body has to come out

FAQs

Is P2714 serious?

RepairPal rates it Urgent, and OBD-Codes.com says it can go from moderate to severe quickly if it isn't fixed. Slipping, harsh shifts and overheating can damage the transmission, so get it diagnosed soon.

Can I drive with code P2714?

Only gently and for short distances. Check the fluid first. If the transmission slips, overheats or goes into limp mode, have it towed rather than risk more damage.

Will a fluid change fix P2714?

Sometimes. Both sources list low or dirty fluid as a cause and OBD-Codes.com lists a fluid and filter change as a repair, but a failed solenoid, valve body problem, wiring fault or computer problem can also set it.

How much does it cost to fix P2714?

Neither source gives a repair cost. It depends heavily on the cause, from a fluid service to a solenoid or valve body, so get a written estimate after diagnosis.
