P2813
Pressure Control Solenoid G Control Circuit Range/Performance
Transmission hydraulics
Generic OBD-II
Medium
What it means
P2813 means transmission pressure control solenoid G isn't performing as commanded — the actual line or clutch pressure doesn't match the target. It usually stems from fluid condition, the solenoid, or its wiring. Expect harsh or slipping shifts and possibly limp mode, but not a no-start.
Medium
Can I keep driving? Reduced — shifts may feel harsh or slip and the transmission may enter limp mode; extended driving like this adds wear.
Common symptoms
What you'll notice
- Check-engine light on
- Harsh, slipping, or delayed shifts
- Transmission enters limp/failsafe mode (often limited to one gear)
- Torque-converter lockup issues (shudder or flare)
Common causes
Most likely first
- Low or contaminated/dirty transmission fluidLikely
- Faulty pressure control solenoid G (stuck or out of range)Common
- Damaged, corroded, or loose solenoid wiring/connectorCommon
- Restricted or worn valve-body passageLess often
- Faulty transmission control module (rare)Less often
How to diagnose & fix
Work through it in order
- Scan freeze-frame and related pressure-solenoid codes (P2812, P2814, P2815).
- Check transmission fluid level and condition; correct if low or burnt.
- Inspect the solenoid connector and wiring for damage or corrosion.
- Measure the solenoid resistance and command response against spec.
- Service the valve body or replace the solenoid as indicated; clear and road-test shift quality.
FAQ
Quick answers
Is it safe to drive with P2813?+
Short-term light driving is usually okay, but slipping or harsh shifts can accelerate transmission wear. Get it checked soon, especially if it's in limp mode.
Can I just clear P2813?+
The code returns once the solenoid is out of range again; fix the fluid, wiring, or solenoid first.
