P2714 Toyota RAV4: Pressure Control Solenoid D Fault - Diagnosis and Repair Guidance

Model: toyota rav4 Fault Code: P2714 Posted: 2017-08-06 13:40

Good day. I recently experienced a check engine light on my 2007 Toyota RAV4 V6 4WD model. After scanning the vehicle, I initially found fault code P0793 — Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit No Signal. Upon further inspection, I discovered that rodents had chewed through the intermediate shaft speed sensor harness and wiring. I replaced both the damaged wires and harness, but the issue persists. Now, the vehicle displays fault code P2714: Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance or Stuck Off, and shifting behavior has become abnormal — gears feel sluggish, shifts are difficult, and there is noticeable slipping during operation. My question is: Could incorrect wiring connections after replacement be causing this new fault? What steps should I take to properly diagnose and resolve the P2714 issue? I have verified continuity on all wires and confirmed proper resistance readings for the pressure control solenoid. However, when I plug in the intermediate shaft speed sensor, the system returns P2714 instead of P0793 — which is confusing since P0793 should be stored only when the sensor is disconnected. I suspect either a faulty signal from the ECM to the solenoid or an internal issue with the transmission valve body. I am considering whether a professional transmission service, such as a full rebuild or replacement, may be necessary.

Refer to this forum's detailed trouble code explanations for P2714 and related issues. The wiring between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the pressure control solenoid, or the solenoid itself, could be at fault. BBBind.com provides a reliable wiring diagram that can help verify correct connections.

I performed continuity testing on all wires and confirmed proper resistance values for the pressure control solenoid. When I plug in the intermediate shaft speed sensor, the system returns P2714; when unplugged, it stores P0793 — which is expected. This inconsistency suggests that the ECM may be misinterpreting sensor data or that the solenoid circuit is not functioning as intended.

If continuity tests and ohm readings for the pressure control solenoid are within specifications, then the issue likely lies in the ECM's signal output or a malfunctioning solenoid/valve body inside the transmission. When the speed sensor is plugged in, P2714 appears — which is not typically associated with that condition. However, the speed sensor data does influence the voltage signal sent to the pressure control solenoid. I recommend clearing all codes and re-scanning after a full system reset. If P2714 returns, it would point toward a transmission-specific issue requiring professional diagnosis or repair.

I have the same problem. Before encountering P2714, my RAV4 suddenly began braking while driving — followed by MIL, VSC, and traction control lights turning on. A scan revealed P0793 (Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor A Circuit No Signal). I replaced the sensor and used a new connector. After driving, 1st and 2nd gears became difficult to shift — with noticeable slipping. The shop performed an oil change and replaced gaskets and filters, but the issue persists. The vehicle now shows P2714 (Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance or Stuck Off). My conclusion: a new or rebuilt transmission is required. I've already spent more than the cost of a used transmission. Toyota RAV4 appears to have recurring transmission reliability issues. My advice — sell the vehicle and avoid this ongoing headache; it's not worth the maintenance costs.
