P2717 Pressure Control Solenoid D Intermittent

P2717 reports that the circuit or response of solenoid D drops out briefly and then comes back. Unlike a hard open or short, the fault is gone by the time the vehicle reaches the workshop, so a static measurement often looks fine. No manufacturer documents P2717 publicly. Ford shows the principle on its shift solenoids: the 2024 OBD summary attaches failure byte 1F (circuit intermittent) to the base code, and P2710 is the counterpart for shift solenoid F. Under CARB rules a solenoid circuit must be watched continuously. Typical triggers are spread terminals, a wire rubbing through near the valve body, or moisture in the connector, and the fault often appears only when hot or on rough roads. The gearbox may stay in a substitute mode until the engine is restarted.

Likely causes

Symptoms

• Occasional harsh or flared shift
• MIL that comes and goes
• No fault found during a workshop check

Repair estimate
