Official description

Pressure Control Solenoid E Electrical

Laymans terms

This code means there is a problem with the car's computer trying to control a part that helps change gears smoothly. It's like when a remote control can't make your toy car move because of a bad connection.

Explanation

The P2725 code indicates an issue with the electrical circuit of the pressure control solenoid E, which affects the transmission's ability to shift gears properly.

Technical description

P2725 is triggered when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects an electrical fault in the pressure control solenoid E circuit. This solenoid is part of the transmission system and helps regulate hydraulic pressure for smooth gear shifts.

Diagnosis steps

• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code

• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to solenoid E

• Test the solenoid for proper operation

Repair procedures

• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors

• Replace the faulty pressure control solenoid E

• Reprogram or replace the PCM/TCM if necessary

Tools required

• OBD-II scanner

• Multimeter

• Basic hand tools

Estimated repair cost

$150 - $400
