DTC P2720: Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Control Circuit Low

NOTE: 

• Before you troubleshoot, review the General Troubleshooting Information - Refer to: HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE FUEL AND EMISSIONS SYSTEMS or How to Troubleshoot the CVT System(CVT) .
• This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused by a mechanical problem in the transmission.

DTC (CVT)

1. Problem verification:

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   - 3. Start the engine, and wait for at least 1 second.

   - 4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

   DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC	Freeze Frame
   P2720 Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Control Circuit Low

   Is DTC P2720 indicated?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between the CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

2. IG1 MISS SOL line check:

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   - 4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 5. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	PCM connector A (51P) No. 11
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there battery voltage?

   YES 

   The IG1 MISS SOL wire is OK. Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Check for a blown No. C35 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is blown, replace it. If the fuse blows again, repair a short in the No. C35 (7.5 A) fuse circuit. If the fuse is OK, repair an open in the IG1 MISS SOL wire between the PCM and the under-dash fuse/relay box.

3. Determine possible failure area (LCCLS line, others):

   - 1. Do the CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve test .

   Does the CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve work properly?

   YES 

   Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Go to step 5.

4. Open wire check (LCCLS line):

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

   SCS Short

   - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector B (51P)

   - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

   - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Solenoid wire harness 8P connector (engine wire harness side): disconnected
   	PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Solenoid wire harness 8P connector (engine wire harness side) No. 8
   Test point 2	PCM connector B (51P) No. 13

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The LCCLS wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software , or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P2720 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P2720 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the LCCLS wire between the solenoid wire harness and the PCM.

5. CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve check:

   - 1. Remove the valve body assembly .

   - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

   CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve 2P connector

   - 3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Solenoid wire harness 8P connector (valve body assembly side): disconnected
   	CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve 2P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve 2P connector No. 1
   Test point 2	CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve 2P connector No. 2

   Is there 4.6-6.3 Ω ?

   YES 

   The CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve is OK. Replace the solenoid wire harness .

   NO 

   Faulty CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve. Replace the valve body assembly .
