What Does P2733 Mean?
The TCM has detected that pressure control solenoid F is stuck in the on position, continuously applying maximum hydraulic pressure. This prevents proper pressure modulation and affects transmission shifting and clutch engagement.
Common Causes
45%
Pressure control solenoid F mechanically stuck on due to debris or wear
25%
Short to voltage in solenoid F control circuit wiring
15%
Contaminated transmission fluid causing solenoid to stick
10%
Valve body sticking or scored preventing solenoid valve from closing
5%
Failed transmission control module commanding constant activation
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Inspect transmission fluid for contamination, metal particles, or burnt smell
2
Step 2: Disconnect solenoid F and check for voltage on control wire (should pulse, not constant 12V)
3
Step 3: Measure solenoid F resistance and check for internal short to ground or power
4
Step 4: Remove solenoid F and manually test plunger movement for binding or sticking
5
Step 5: Inspect valve body for debris, varnish buildup, or bore wear around solenoid F
Estimated Repair Cost
$300 - $1,400
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The TCM has detected that pressure control solenoid F is stuck in the on position, continuously applying maximum hydraulic pressure. This prevents proper pressure modulation and affects transmission shifting and clutch engagement.
The most common cause of P2733 (Pressure Control Solenoid "F" Stuck On) is: Pressure control solenoid F mechanically stuck on due to debris or wear
Typical repair costs for P2733 range from $300 to $1,400, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Harsh shifts, transmission overheating, or limp mode may occur. Continued operation can cause clutch damage, so repair should be performed soon.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2733 to identify the root cause.
