Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the transmission's pressure control solenoid isn't regulating hydraulic line pressure the way the computer expects. The solenoid may be stuck, electrically faulty, or the transmission fluid could be low or dirty enough to throw off readings. Typical fixes range from a fluid and filter service to replacing the solenoid, and in some cases addressing internal valve body wear.
$250 – $900
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, often yes, but you shouldn't rely on it. The transmission may shift poorly or enter limp mode, and driving with unstable pressure can cause more damage over time. Have it diagnosed as soon as you reasonably can.
If it's just a fluid and filter service, you might pay $250 or so. Replacing the pressure control solenoid typically runs $400 to $900 with labor, depending on whether the solenoid is accessible or buried in the valve body.
It can be. While it sometimes starts with something simple like low fluid, the underlying pressure problem can lead to slipping and internal transmission wear if ignored. Treat it as something to fix promptly rather than later.
Yes. Low or dirty fluid is one of the most common triggers because it disrupts the hydraulic pressure the solenoid is trying to control. Checking and servicing the fluid is usually the first step before replacing parts.
