P2737 - Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance
System
Powertrain (Engine & Gearbox)
Technical Description
The control module has detected a fault in the Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance (P2737). The reported signal is electrically valid but disagrees with other operating parameters (RPM, load, or other sensors).
Multimeter Test Points & Nominal Values
| Test Point / Component | Measurement | Nominal Target Range | Test Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance – Coil Resistance | Resistance (Ω) | 3 - 30 Ω (typical) | Connector disconnected at 20°C |
| Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance – Duty Cycle | PWM (%) | 5 - 95 % (modulates with target) | Engine running, actuator in control |
| Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance – Supply Voltage | Voltage (V) | 11.8 - 14.4 V | Ignition ON at connector |
Connector disconnected at 20°C
Engine running, actuator in control

Oscilloscope Waveform Analysis
2 ms/div, 20 V/divPossible Causes
Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance is electrically operational but performing outside calibrated tolerance
Channel F:Verify dedicated wiring pins and signal pair for circuit F against the schematic.
Chafed or pinched wiring harness along the signal path to Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance
Internal mechanical wear or carbon deposits inside Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance
Defective internal output driver or reference circuit in the control module for Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance
Symptoms
Recommended Solution
Compare signal voltage and resistance between circuit F and companion circuit A at module connector.
Log component live data across varying load points and verify plausibility against engine target model.
Verify loaded supply voltage and harness terminal pins at Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance.
Check circuit continuity and ground-side voltage drop (< 0.05 V) for Pressure Control Solenoid F Control Range/Performance.
Check supply and the low-side driver at the ECM connector. Replace the actuator or repair the circuit based on the readings.
Mechanic's Tip
Use the scan-tool output test with the scope on the control side at the same time. If duty changes but the actuator does not move, the valve is stuck — not the electrical fault you were chasing.
