P2707 on Volvo by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The Aisin-Warner AW55-50 and AW55-51 automatic transmissions used in V70 models are known for solenoid failures, particularly the SL1 and SL2 linear solenoids that control shift pressure. Failed solenoids cause harsh or delayed shifts, transmission slipping, and limp mode engagement. The solenoids deteriorate due to ATF contamination and heat, especially when fluid changes are neglected.
Common Symptoms
- Harsh or delayed 2-3 upshift
- Transmission slipping under load
- Limp mode (stuck in 3rd gear)
- Check engine light with transmission codes
- Flashing arrow on instrument cluster
How to Fix
Replace the failed solenoid(s) and perform a complete transmission fluid and filter change. A full solenoid kit is recommended since multiple solenoids often fail in sequence. The valve body must be removed for access. Use genuine Aisin solenoids and Volvo-spec ATF. Reset transmission adaptations with VIDA/DiCE after repair.

Shift solenoids route hydraulic fluid to engage gears, so a stuck or underperforming solenoid prevents the transmission from shifting as commanded. Symptoms typically include harsh shifts, failure to shift into certain gears, or limp mode. It should be addressed to avoid driveability problems and possible further transmission damage. On Volvo it is documented across 1 model: V70.
