The current through pressure control solenoid K does not match the commanded value within tolerance. Coil resistance drift or high-resistance contact.
Medium severity. Can I keep driving?Drive as little as possible and gently. If the transmission slips or stays in one gear, go slowly to a repair shop or call for a tow truck.
Most likely causes
- Coil resistance changed by thermal stress
- High-resistance contact in solenoid connector
- Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
What to check, in order
Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.
Good to know
- Repair difficulty: hard
- It can trigger limp mode.
What each character of P282E means
- P: Powertrain: engine and transmission
- 2: Generic code: same on every make
- 8: Transmission
- 2E: Specific fault in that system
