Pressure Control Solenoid A Control Circuit Low

Voltage at pressure control solenoid A driver below threshold, suggesting short to ground. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

Affected components

  • Pressure control solenoid a
  • Wiring harness

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Short to ground
  • Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
  • Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on
  • Harsh, delayed, or missing shifts
  • Possible limp mode (locked in one gear)
  • Slipping or shuddering during gear changes

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
