The code signals that the transmission's shift solenoid D is not operating as expected, often due to electrical or mechanical faults. It may affect gear shifting performance and trigger the malfunction indicator lamp.
The solenoid can wear out or become internally shorted, causing intermittent operation.
Corroded, damaged, or loose connections to the solenoid can interrupt signal flow.
Insufficient or degraded fluid can affect solenoid actuation and hydraulic pressure.
A problem within the module that controls solenoids can cause intermittent faults, though this is less common.
Complete failure of the powertrain control module is rare and typically only after other components have been ruled out.
It indicates an intermittent fault with shift solenoid D, which controls a specific gear change in the transmission.
Yes, low or degraded fluid can impair solenoid operation and trigger the code.
Replacing the PCM is rarely necessary; the issue is usually a faulty solenoid, wiring, or fluid condition.
Typically a few hours, depending on vehicle design and whether additional components need removal.
