DTC P2720

DTC P2720  : A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve D Low Input

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P2720 A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve D Low Input      

DTC (A/T)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    - 3. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P2720 A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valve D Low Input      

    Is DTC P2720 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections and loose terminals between A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Fuse check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check the following fuse.

    Fuse No. C5 (7.5 A)

    Is the fuse OK?

    YES 

    The fuse is OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Replace the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse, and recheck. If the fuse blows again, repair a short to ground on the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse circuit, and recheck.

  3. Open wire check (IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020) or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) wire is OK. Go to step 4.

    NO 

    A)repair an open in the IG1 VBSOL (7.5 A) wire between the PCM and the No. C5 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.

  4. Determine possible failure area (short in LSD line, others)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Reconnect PCM connector A (51P).

    - 3. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    - 4. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector B (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020) or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015)

    - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit LSD
    Test point 1 PCM connector B (51P) No. 9 (TAN)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH319663Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  5. Shorted wire check (LSD line)

    -1. Disconnect the following connector.

    A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D 2P connector

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve D 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
