Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the transmission control module detected that pressure control solenoid B is not regulating fluid pressure as expected, which affects how smoothly the transmission shifts. It's often caused by a failing solenoid, low or dirty transmission fluid, or wiring problems. Typical fixes include replacing the solenoid, servicing the fluid, or repairing the electrical connections.
$200 – $700
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short distances usually yes, but it's not recommended for long. Faulty pressure control can cause slipping or limp mode, so get it diagnosed soon to avoid further transmission damage.
Expect roughly $200 to $700. Replacing the solenoid and servicing fluid is typical, while valve body work or control module issues push the cost higher.
Yes, it should be taken seriously. Improper transmission pressure can lead to slipping and accelerated wear, so prompt repair protects your transmission.
It regulates the hydraulic fluid pressure that engages the clutches and bands inside the transmission, so when it fails, shifts become rough or unreliable.
