P2715 Pressure Control Solenoid D Stuck On

With P2715 the opposite of P2714 has happened: the clutch fed by valve D keeps holding although the controller wants it released, so it drags into the next gear. GM checks this on its eight-speed through torque-phase and inertia-phase tests on clutch 4, and its 2018 table 18OBDG04 links the code on the nine-speed to C4 exhaust delay times (Type A). On the 2023 Corvette dual-clutch unit, more than 1 bar on the even clutch during the check marks the redundant shutdown valve as stuck on; Ford's TR9070 uses the same pairing. Subaru warns in bulletin 16-142-23 that 2022 Legacy, Outback and Ascent CVTs can log it falsely when a VDC fault limits lock-up; a freeze-frame lock-up duty under 95.2 % points to the chassis fault. Harsh shifts or binding follow.

Likely causes

Debris holding a valve in the applied position
Solenoid D or redundant shutdown valve mechanically stuck
False detection during a stability-control fail-safe (Subaru CVT)
Faulty TCM/solenoid assembly (GM 2-mode hybrid date codes)

Symptoms

  • Harsh shift or binding as two clutches overlap
  • Vehicle feels braked when pulling away
  • MIL lit, transmission may hold a safe gear
