Q: What does code P282D mean?

Pressure Control Solenoid K Control Circuit/Open. P282D indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected an open circuit or electrical fault in the control circuit for pressure control solenoid K, which is one of several shift solenoids inside the automatic transmission valve body. The TCM commands a specific current to the solenoid to regulate hydraulic pressure, but the circuit's electrical signature falls outside the expected range, so the TCM sets this code and typically illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp.
