What does code P282A mean?

Q: What does code P282A mean?

Pressure Control Solenoid K Stuck On. P282A indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected a fault with pressure control solenoid K, specifically that the solenoid is stuck in the energized (on) state. The TCM commands the solenoid to change state but sees no corresponding change in hydraulic pressure or electrical current, so it sets this code and typically illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
