Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the transmission control module detected an intermittent electrical problem with shift solenoid E, which helps control gear changes. Because the fault comes and goes, it's often caused by loose or corroded wiring, a failing solenoid, or low or dirty transmission fluid. Typical fixes range from repairing connectors and wiring to replacing the solenoid or servicing the transmission fluid.
$150 – $600
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, but you shouldn't rely on it. The intermittent nature means the transmission could slip or enter limp mode at any time, so get it checked soon and avoid towing or long drives.
Repairs typically run from about $150 to $600. A simple wiring or connector repair is on the low end, while replacing the solenoid or servicing fluid raises the cost.
It can be. While it's sometimes just a wiring issue, ignoring it risks transmission damage and unpredictable shifting, so it's best to address it promptly.
An intermittent fault usually points to a loose connection, corroded wiring, or a solenoid that only fails under certain temperatures or vibrations, which makes it tricky to catch but important to diagnose.
