DTC P2816-7F: Pressure Control Solenoid "H" Actuator Stuck Off [10/2017 - 09/2019]: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 350, 2023 Lexus IS 350, 2022 Lexus IS 350, 2021 Lexus IS 350, and 2020 Lexus IS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Based on signals from the transmission revolution sensors (NT, SP2 and NC3), the actual gear is detected.

If the detected gear is different than the commanded gear, the ECM detects related mechanical problems in the shift solenoid valves, transmission valve body assembly and automatic transmission assembly.
