How to diagnose and fix P2714: most-reported vehicles
Ranked by owner reports. Each card gives the symptoms, how to confirm the cause, the fix, parts and sources for that vehicle.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport · 2014–2022
The ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission used in the L494 Range Rover Sport develops valve body and mechatronic unit faults. Symptoms include harsh shifts, delayed engagement, and occasional limp mode. The solenoids in the valve body wear and cause improper fluid routing. The transmission adapts by increasing line pressure, which accelerates wear on the clutch packs.
Common Symptoms
- Harsh or jerky shifts especially 2-3 and 5-6
- Delayed engagement from Park to Drive
- Transmission fault warning
- Limp mode (stuck in one gear)
- Shudder during light acceleration
How to Fix
Replace or rebuild the valve body and mechatronic unit. Perform a transmission fluid and filter change using only ZF-approved fluid (ZF Lifeguard 8). Reset the transmission adaptation values after repair. Some specialists offer a rebuilt valve body with upgraded solenoids.
Owner tips & cautions
- TipChange ZF 8HP fluid every 60,000 miles despite the "lifetime fill" claim. Use ZF Lifeguard Fluid 8 and a genuine ZF filter kit. This dramatically extends valve body life.
Cadillac STS · 2005–2011
The GM 6L50 6-speed automatic transmission in V6-equipped STS models is prone to overheating and developing harsh shift quality. The transmission fluid cooler is undersized for the vehicle weight, and the valve body solenoids degrade from heat cycling. Fluid darkens rapidly, and shift quality deteriorates with delayed or slipping 3-4 and 5-6 upshifts. The torque converter clutch also fails prematurely from heat damage.
Common Symptoms
- Harsh or delayed 3-4 upshift
- Transmission fluid dark or burnt smell by 50,000 miles
- Transmission temperature warning
- Torque converter shudder at 40-50 mph light throttle
- Slipping in higher gears under load
How to Fix
Perform a complete transmission fluid and filter change (not a flush) every 30,000 miles using Dexron VI. Install an auxiliary transmission cooler for vehicles used in hot climates or towing. If shifts are already harsh, a valve body rebuild or replacement with updated solenoids may be required. Torque converter replacement is needed if shudder is present.

Toyota Tundra · 2007–2013
Second-generation Tundras with the AB60E/AB60F 6-speed automatic commonly develop a torque-converter clutch (TCC) shudder felt as a vibration or 'rumble strip' sensation during light-to-moderate acceleration, typically between roughly 20-45 mph as the converter clutch tries to lock up. Toyota acknowledged the condition in TSB TC018-07 for 2007-2008 trucks. The condition Toyota addressed in the TSB was the original torque converter design (a redesigned converter was released); a worn torque-converter clutch and wear in the valve body TCC control valves also contribute, often aggravated by using fluid other than Toyota WS or by long fluid-change intervals. Left unaddressed, the slipping clutch contaminates the fluid and can damage the rest of the transmission. Common stored codes are P0741 (TCC stuck off) and P2757 (TCC pressure control).
Common Symptoms
- Vibration or shudder felt around 20-45 mph under light acceleration
- Feels like driving over rumble strips during lockup
- Flared, delayed, or harsh shifts
- Check engine light
- Worse when warm or towing
How to Fix
Confirm with a road test and scan for P0741/P0740/P2757. First step is a full Toyota WS fluid exchange (use ONLY WS-spec fluid). If shudder persists, the durable fix is replacing/rebuilding the valve body (or installing an upgraded valve body) and, per Toyota's original TSB, replacing the torque converter with the updated design. Many shops perform a valve-body modification (e.g., Sonnax/aftermarket) to restore TCC apply pressure and prevent recurrence. Address early to avoid converter and clutch-pack damage.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2714 mean?
P2714 stands for "Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off." This is a transmission code. Automatic transmissions use pressure control solenoids to precisely regulate hydraulic pressure to clutches and bands so shifts are smooth and firm. P2714 means the transmission control module commanded Pressure Control Solenoid 'D' but the solenoid didn't perform as expected — it appears stuck in the 'off' position or isn't building the pressure it should. This commonly causes slipping, harsh or delayed shifts, or the transmission dropping into a protective limp mode.
What are the most common causes of P2714?
The most common causes of P2714 are: Failed or stuck Pressure Control Solenoid D, Low, dirty, or contaminated transmission fluid, Internal valve body wear or debris blocking the solenoid, Damaged wiring or corroded connector to the solenoid, Clogged solenoid filter screen or fluid passage, Worn internal clutches affecting pressure response, Faulty transmission control module (less common). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2714?
Repair costs for P2714 range from $250 to $7,800, depending on the vehicle and root cause.
