What does code P2823 mean?

Q: What does code P2823 mean?

Pressure Control Solenoid J Intermittent. P2823 indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected an intermittent electrical fault in the pressure control solenoid J circuit, which is used to regulate hydraulic pressure inside the automatic transmission. The TCM monitors the solenoid's commanded current versus actual current or circuit continuity, and it sets this code when the signal drops out or becomes erratic for a brief period rather than failing completely.
