DTC P2821: Line Pressure Solenoid Valve A Stuck ON: General Description
Line pressure solenoid valve A is installed on the transmission housing. It is controlled by the ON/OFF signal from the powertrain control module (PCM) to regulate line pressure to low line pressure or normal line pressure. The line pressure switch is installed in the hydraulic pressure output circuit from line pressure solenoid valve A. The signal to line pressure solenoid valve A from the PCM is output to regulate line pressure to proper pressure according to the driving conditions. When line pressure solenoid valve A outputs hydraulic pressure, the line pressure is regulated to low line pressure and the switch is turned on. When line pressure solenoid valve A does not output hydraulic pressure, the line pressure is at normal line pressure and the switch is turned off. If the line pressure switch is on against the command to turn off line pressure solenoid valve A, the PCM detects a line pressure solenoid valve A stuck on failure and stores a DTC.
