P2714 on Land Rover: How to Diagnose & Fix
Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off

P2714 on Land Rover by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission used in the L494 Range Rover Sport develops valve body and mechatronic unit faults. Symptoms include harsh shifts, delayed engagement, and occasional limp mode. The solenoids in the valve body wear and cause improper fluid routing. The transmission adapts by increasing line pressure, which accelerates wear on the clutch packs.
Common Symptoms
- Harsh or jerky shifts especially 2-3 and 5-6
- Delayed engagement from Park to Drive
- Transmission fault warning
- Limp mode (stuck in one gear)
- Shudder during light acceleration
How to Fix
Replace or rebuild the valve body and mechatronic unit. Perform a transmission fluid and filter change using only ZF-approved fluid (ZF Lifeguard 8). Reset the transmission adaptation values after repair. Some specialists offer a rebuilt valve body with upgraded solenoids.
Owner tips & cautions
- TipChange ZF 8HP fluid every 60,000 miles despite the "lifetime fill" claim. Use ZF Lifeguard Fluid 8 and a genuine ZF filter kit. This dramatically extends valve body life.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2714 mean on a Land Rover?
P2714 stands for "Pressure Control Solenoid D Performance/Stuck Off." This is a transmission code. Automatic transmissions use pressure control solenoids to precisely regulate hydraulic pressure to clutches and bands so shifts are smooth and firm. P2714 means the transmission control module commanded Pressure Control Solenoid 'D' but the solenoid didn't perform as expected — it appears stuck in the 'off' position or isn't building the pressure it should. This commonly causes slipping, harsh or delayed shifts, or the transmission dropping into a protective limp mode. On Land Rover it is documented across 1 model: Range Rover Sport.
What are the most common causes of P2714?
The most common causes of P2714 are: Failed or stuck Pressure Control Solenoid D, Low, dirty, or contaminated transmission fluid, Internal valve body wear or debris blocking the solenoid, Damaged wiring or corroded connector to the solenoid, Clogged solenoid filter screen or fluid passage, Worn internal clutches affecting pressure response, Faulty transmission control module (less common). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2714 on a Land Rover?
Published repair estimates on Land Rover range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
