This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that one of the parts in your car that helps control the pressure in the transmission is not working properly all the time. It's like when a light bulb flickers on and off instead of staying on steadily.
The P2717 code indicates an intermittent issue with the pressure control solenoid D, which is responsible for regulating hydraulic pressure in the transmission.
The pressure control solenoid D is part of the transmission system and helps manage the flow of hydraulic fluid to ensure smooth gear shifts. An intermittent fault means the solenoid is not consistently operating as expected, leading to potential issues with gear shifting.
• Erratic or harsh shifting
• Transmission slipping
• Illuminated Check Engine Light
• Faulty pressure control solenoid D
• Wiring or connector issues
• Transmission fluid problems
Solenoid: An electromechanical device used to control fluid flow.
Transmission: A system in a vehicle that transmits power from the engine to the wheels.
• Check for any other related trouble codes.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors to the solenoid.
• Test the solenoid for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty pressure control solenoid D.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Flush and replace transmission fluid if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Transmission fluid pressure gauge

This code has been associated with intermittent transmission issues in vehicles with electronically controlled transmissions.
Moderate – It's important to address this issue to prevent further transmission damage.
Driving with transmission issues can lead to unsafe driving conditions. Address this code promptly.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Transmission in drive mode
The pressure control solenoid D is located inside the transmission, usually accessible by removing the transmission pan.
Q: Can I drive with a P2717 code?
