What P2757 means
P2757 means the converter clutch was commanded to apply, yet the speed difference between engine and turbine stayed too large, so the lockup never really happened. It is a functional verdict: the circuit may be electrically sound while the valve, the hydraulic feed or the clutch lining fails to deliver. Toyota uses it on the 2014–2019 Corolla CVT, where it points to shift solenoid SL; bulletin T-SB-0150-16 replaces the valve body. On 2016 Ram 3500 to 5500 trucks with the Aisin AS69RC six-speed, bulletin 21-027-16 traces it to a dislodged snap ring inside the converter, and an FCA tech tip notes the code returns during a light-throttle lockup attempt. Expect higher revs at cruise, more fuel use and hotter fluid.
P2757 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modeNot expected

- Typical labor1 to 9 hours
- Clears after repairAfter a drive cycle
Symptoms of P2757
- Engine speed stays high at steady cruise
- Higher fuel consumption
- Transmission fluid runs hot
- Check engine lamp on
Common causes of P2757
- Most likelySticking lockup solenoid or valve body (Toyota CVT solenoid SL)
- PossibleInternal converter fault such as a dislodged snap ring (Ram AS69RC)
- PossibleLow, aged or contaminated fluid
- Less likelyWorn converter clutch lining
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P2757 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 2 | Generic code (second SAE range): it means the same on every make. |
| 7 | Area: transmission. |
| 57 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P2757 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 P2757
What does P2757 mean?
P2757 means "Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Control Circuit Performance/Stuck Off". P2757 means the converter clutch was commanded to apply, yet the speed difference between engine and turbine stayed too large, so the lockup never really happened. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P2757?
Usually yes, for a short time, if the check engine light is steady and the car drives normally. If the light flashes or the car runs badly, stop and have it checked.
Will P2757 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P2757 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 P2757 to fix?
Difficulty: hard. A typical repair takes 1 to 9 hours of work. This is a job for a workshop.
Will P2757 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.
