Q: p2716

The trouble code P2716 will set for many reasons other than there being a defective solenoid. Consequently, the only way to reliably predict that replacing the solenoid will clear the code is to test the solenoid directly per the procedure set forth in the factory service manual. Trouble codes are NOT the basis of part replacement as all the code offers in the way of information is an indication of the system, area, circuit, and so forth where a fault exists. Even a brand new solenoid, if installed in a circuit with merely a bad ground, will generate exactly the same code. If the solenoid does tests good, other possible causes of P2716 include: 1) Dirty or contaminated fluid; 2) Dirty or clogged transmission filter; 2) Defective transmission pump; 3) Defective transmission valve body; 4) Restricted hydraulic passages; 5) Corroded or damaged connector; 6) Faulty or damaged wiring; 7) Faulty PCM (rare); and 8) many other causes too numerous to list here. To get the underlying fault pinpointed, the service to request is a check engine light diagnostic. Once the problem is pinpointed, the mechanic will give an exact repair cost.
