P2708 on Lincoln
Shift Solenoid "F" Stuck On
P2708 on Lincoln vehicles indicates shift solenoid "f" stuck on. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Lincoln model — most commonly on Aviator. A generic (SAE-defined) powertrain code that applies to most OBD-II vehicles with an automatic transmission, and is reported across Chrysler, Ford, Dodge, Ram, Hyundai/Kia, Toyota/Lexus, Mazda, Honda and VW. The transmission control module commanded shift solenoid "F" off, but hydraulic pressure or gear-ratio feedback indicates the solenoid is still applied — stuck in the ON position. Because shift solenoids route the fluid pressure that applies each clutch pack, a stuck solenoid usually shows up as harsh or delayed shifts, slipping, being locked in one gear, or stalling when coming to a stop. Severity typically starts moderate and worsens quickly, so it should not be ignored.
Common Causes of P2708
- •Failed or electrically stuck (shorted/open) shift solenoid F
- •Debris or varnish holding the solenoid valve open in the valve body
- •Contaminated, burnt, or low transmission fluid
- •Damaged wiring, chafed harness, or corroded connector at the transmission case connector
- •Faulty or leaking valve body
- •Failed transmission control module (rare — check wiring and fluid first)
P2708 on Lincoln by Model
Lincoln Aviator(1 issue)
- 10R60/10R80 MHT Harsh or Delayed Engagement and Shifts (TSB 22-2428)2020-2023
Some 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviators equipped with a 10R60 and built on or before December 23, 2022, or a 10R80 MHT and built on or before August 15, 2022, may have harsh or delayed engagement and/or harsh or delayed shifts. Ford TSB 22-2428 says the condition may involve PCM/TCM software, the transmission solenoid-ID strategy, sticking main-control valves, or axial movement of the CDF clutch-cylinder sleeve. The complaint may occur with or without a malfunction indicator and the bulletin's listed transmission DTCs. The symptom alone does not select a valve body, CDF cylinder, or complete transmission.

What does P2708 mean on Lincoln?▼
