What Does P2713 Mean?
The transmission control module has detected a general fault with pressure control solenoid D circuit or function. This solenoid regulates hydraulic pressure for specific clutch packs or transmission functions.
Common Causes
40%
Failed pressure control solenoid D
25%
Contaminated transmission fluid restricting solenoid operation
20%
Electrical circuit problem to solenoid D
10%
Valve body wear or debris causing pressure control issues
5%
Failed transmission control module
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check transmission fluid level and condition; change fluid and filter if dirty or burnt
2
Step 2: Measure pressure control solenoid D resistance and compare to specifications (typically 3-6 ohms)
3
Step 3: Monitor commanded vs actual pressure for solenoid D circuit using scan tool with bi-directional controls
4
Step 4: Check solenoid electrical connector for corrosion and verify voltage supply and ground signals
5
Step 5: Remove valve body to inspect pressure control solenoid D for mechanical binding, debris, or internal wear
Estimated Repair Cost
$200 - $900
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The transmission control module has detected a general fault with pressure control solenoid D circuit or function. This solenoid regulates hydraulic pressure for specific clutch packs or transmission functions.
The most common cause of P2713 (Pressure Control Solenoid "D") is: Failed pressure control solenoid D
Typical repair costs for P2713 range from $200 to $900, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
May cause harsh shifts, slipping, or transmission entering limp mode. Vehicle typically remains drivable but with degraded performance and potential for further damage if ignored.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2713 to identify the root cause.
