Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
This code means the transmission control module detected an intermittent fault with pressure control solenoid B, which regulates fluid pressure for smooth shifting. Because it's intermittent, it's often caused by loose or corroded wiring, a sticking solenoid, or low or contaminated fluid. Typical fixes include repairing connectors and wiring, replacing the solenoid, or servicing the transmission fluid.
$150 – $650
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips usually yes, but it's unpredictable. The intermittent fault means the transmission could slip or enter limp mode without warning, so get it checked soon.
Expect about $150 to $650. A wiring repair or fluid service is cheaper, while replacing the solenoid or addressing the valve body costs more.
It can be. Even though it's intermittent, it points to a real transmission fault that can worsen, so it's best to diagnose and repair it promptly.
Because the fault doesn't happen all the time, a technician may need to test under specific conditions to catch it, often inspecting wiring and connectors carefully.
