P27CF

Pressure Control Solenoid R Control Circuit Low

Voltage on the pressure control solenoid R control line is below the expected window. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.

  • Check engine light: Yes
  • Emissions related: No
  • Repair difficulty: hard
