What does code P1710 mean?

P1710 · MazdaTransmission Control Module Solenoid Internal Ground Circuit

P1710 on a Mazda means the Transmission Control Module (TCM) has detected an internal ground circuit fault inside one of the shift solenoids or its wiring path to ground within the transmission. The TCM monitors the current flow through the solenoid coil and compares it to expected values; when the ground side of the circuit is open or shorted internally, the TCM sets this code and typically commands a failsafe mode.
