What Does P2735 Mean?
The TCM has detected an intermittent fault with pressure control solenoid F or its circuit. The problem occurs sporadically, making diagnosis more challenging as the fault is not constant.
Common Causes
35%
Intermittent connection at solenoid F connector due to corrosion or loose pins
30%
Chafed or damaged wiring with intermittent short or open
20%
Pressure control solenoid F with intermittent internal failure
10%
Temperature-sensitive failure in solenoid or wiring
5%
Intermittent TCM ground or power supply issue
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Wiggle test all wiring and connectors to solenoid F while monitoring live data for signal dropout
2
Step 2: Thoroughly inspect connector pins for spread terminals, corrosion, or poor contact
3
Step 3: Check for wiring harness routing near heat sources or moving components causing intermittent chafing
4
Step 4: Monitor solenoid F operation through multiple heat cycles (cold to operating temperature)
5
Step 5: Use freeze frame data to identify conditions present when fault occurred (temperature, speed, gear)
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $1,000
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The TCM has detected an intermittent fault with pressure control solenoid F or its circuit. The problem occurs sporadically, making diagnosis more challenging as the fault is not constant.
The most common cause of P2735 (Pressure Control Solenoid "F" Intermittent) is: Intermittent connection at solenoid F connector due to corrosion or loose pins
Typical repair costs for P2735 range from $150 to $1,000, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Intermittent shifting issues may occur unpredictably. Vehicle is generally safe to drive but the problem may worsen over time if not addressed.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2735 to identify the root cause.
