P2719: Pressure Control Solenoid 'D' Control Circuit Range/Performance

Severity: medium

What it means: P2719 points at pressure control solenoid 'D', an electric valve that helps the transmission computer control fluid pressure. Mitsubishi calls it a 'select pressure solenoid malfunction' on its CVTs: the computer sees the clutch that engages Drive or Reverse engage too fast or slip. Mitsubishi also lists it among codes that can set when a CVT-8 belt slips.

Safe to drive? Drive gently to a shop. A harsh or slipping shift into Drive or Reverse should be checked soon.

Vehicle-specific notes

DIY or shop?

Shop. It needs transmission diagnosis, the correct fluid and often a scan-tool reset.

Before you replace parts

  1. Read all transmission codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Check fluid level and condition.
  3. Check the solenoid harness and connector.
  4. Check for bulletins for your VIN, such as Mitsubishi TSB-20-23-001 on CVT-8 models.

Safety / mechanic note

Verify with a mechanic. A transmission that slips when shifting into gear can move unexpectedly or leave you without drive.
