What P2714 means
P2714 says the clutch served by solenoid D does not apply as commanded, so the gearbox slips in a gear that needs it. In GM's 2016 table 16OBDG03 valve D is clutch 4 (C2-3-4-6-8) on the eight-speed and the 2-6 brake on the T76 six-speed; slip of 400 rpm or more for 3 s, counted over three events, sets it after one trip. GM bulletins call it solenoid valve 4 stuck off: on the 10L80 a loose retainer ring lets the input internal gear separate (PIP6008), on the gasoline 10L1000 the C4 piston seal degrades (24-NA-148), on the VT40 CVT a sticking clutch regulator valve is blamed (PIP5819). On the 2023 Corvette dual-clutch box it means the even-clutch redundant shutdown valve, Type A, as does Ford's TR9070. Loss of a gear or reverse is typical.

Symptoms of P2714
- Slipping or flare in gears that use the affected clutch
- No reverse or no forward drive in some cases
- MIL lit and transmission in a substitute mode
Common causes of P2714
- Most likelyLeaking clutch piston seal or damaged clutch housing (GM 10L1000 C4)
- PossibleRegulator or line pressure valve stuck by debris or sediment
- PossibleInternal mechanical failure such as a dislodged retainer ring (GM 10L80)
- Less likelyLow fluid level reducing apply pressure
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2714 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |

| 14 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2714 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P2714
What does P2714 mean?
P2714 means "Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off". P2714 says the clutch served by solenoid D does not apply as commanded, so the gearbox slips in a gear that needs it. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2714?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P2714 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P2714 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2714 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P2714 to fix?
Difficulty: workshop only. A typical repair takes 1 to 16 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2714 clear itself after the repair?
After the repair the car has to complete a drive cycle (a mix of city and highway driving) before the test runs again. Until then the readiness monitor shows "not ready", which can fail an inspection.
