P2810 — Pressure Control Solenoid G Electrical

Manufacturer-specificPowertrain (engine & transmission)

The P2810 code indicates an electrical circuit failure within the Pressure Control Solenoid G. The powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the solenoid's electrical resistance is outside the expected operating range.

Symptoms

What causes it — most likely first

1. Failed Solenoid

Internal electrical failure of Pressure Control Solenoid G, such as an open circuit or internal short.

2. Wiring Harness Damage

Frayed, pinched, or burnt wires leading to the solenoid causing a short or open circuit.

3. Connector Corrosion

Corroded or loose pins at the transmission electrical connector preventing a secure connection.

4. PCM Driver Failure

An internal failure of the PCM's solenoid driver circuit, though this is uncommon.

How it's diagnosed

  1. Scan for all active and pending codes to determine if multiple solenoids are affected.
  2. Perform a visual inspection of the transmission wiring harness for signs of wear or heat damage.
  3. Disconnect the transmission electrical connector and inspect pins for corrosion or backing out.
  4. Measure the resistance of Pressure Control Solenoid G using a digital multimeter and compare it to manufacturer specifications.
  5. Perform a continuity test on the wiring between the solenoid connector and the PCM.

Frequently asked

Can this code cause the transmission to stop shifting?

Yes, the PCM may enter a fail-safe or limp mode to protect the transmission, which often limits the vehicle to a single gear.

Should I replace the PCM if I have this code?

No, the PCM is rarely the cause of P2810. The fault is almost always located in the solenoid itself or the wiring harness.

Will replacing the solenoid fix the problem if the wiring is damaged?

No, if the wiring is shorted or open, a new solenoid will not resolve the issue until the wiring is repaired.
