P2814 on Cadillac by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
Owners of 2020-2021 Cadillac CT5 and CT5-V models equipped with the GM Hydra-Matic 10L80 10-speed automatic report harsh, abrupt shifts accompanied by an illuminated check engine light. GM Preliminary Information bulletin PIP5799 documents an electrical fault in Transmission Control Solenoid Valve 7 (the line pressure solenoid) that stores DTC P2812 or P2814 in the TCM. Separately, NHTSA Safety Recall N242480630 (NHTSA 25V148) covers TCM monitoring software for a related transmission control valve wear condition that, in rare cases, can cause momentary wheel lock-up. A related Special Coverage bulletin (N242480631) extends warranty for the P0747 control-valve condition to 15 years / 150,000 miles. Note: the 2020-2021 CT5 does not include the CT5-V Blackwing (introduced for MY2022 with the 10L90), which is NOT part of this recall population.
Common Symptoms
- Harsh or abrupt shifts
- Check engine / SES light
- Reduced engine performance / Reduced Propulsion message
- Possible momentary wheel lock-up (subject of recall N242480630)
How to Fix
Scan the TCM; if P2812 or P2814 is set, follow SI diagnostics for the line pressure solenoid circuit. PIP5799 directs that, if no other root cause is found, the valve body is replaced. Also verify GM Safety Recall N242480630 (TCM monitoring software for wheel lock-up risk) has been performed; owner letters were mailed April 7, 2025. If P0747 sets after the TCM update, the control valve body replacement is covered under Special Coverage N242480631 for 15 years / 150,000 miles.

Frequently asked questions
What does P2814 mean on a Cadillac?
P2814 stands for "Pressure Control Solenoid "G" Control Circuit Low." This code means the transmission control module detected a low-voltage (often a short to ground) condition in the control circuit for pressure control solenoid "G". This solenoid regulates hydraulic pressure that applies the transmission clutches and bands. A low/shorted circuit prevents proper control of that solenoid, which can cause harsh or erratic shifting, slipping, or limp mode. It is generally an electrical wiring or solenoid fault. On Cadillac it is documented across 1 model: CT5.
What are the most common causes of P2814?
The most common causes of P2814 are: Faulty pressure control solenoid "G" (internal short), Wiring shorted to ground in the solenoid circuit, Chafed or pinched internal harness wiring, Corroded or damaged connector, Low or contaminated transmission fluid, Faulty transmission control module. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P2814 on a Cadillac?
Repair costs vary widely with the root cause and Cadillac model; each issue on this page carries its own estimate where one is published.
