    Hey Guys,

    I posted a thread of this a while ago. I have these dash lights and when I ran the computer on it, it told me the issue was a solenoid. The car felt like it was holding back from 0-10 mph. I would put the pedal to the floor and it would barely move but once it got past 10 mph or 1k rpms it moved perfectly fine.

    Now I have solved that issue without having to replace any solenoids. Just simply changed the transmission fluid, but still seem to have the lights on the dash.

    Does anyone know what else it could be? because when I run the computer I still the solenoid codes:
    P2716
    P0751

    Thanks in advance!WhatsApp Image 2025-01-02 at 8.06.32 AM.jpg WhatsApp Image 2025-01-02 at 8.06.33 AM (1).jpg WhatsApp Image 2025-01-02 at 8.06.33 AM (2).jpg WhatsApp Image 2025-01-02 at 8.06.33 AM.jpg

    The codes are showing as stored. Do they come right back if you clear them now that you’ve fixed the low speed issue?

    I've only tried it once, but it did come back like almost immediately.

    The bottom photo you could try a zero point calibration. Fairly easy just YouTube it. I had the vss and the other light on and it was due to me plugging in a newer obd scanner into my obd port (something about the protocols of the car vs the scanner). Anyways, it fixed that issue.

    you could also clear the codes then disconnect your battery for a period of time and see if that helps.

    Well I have plugged in my obd scanner but it did come significantly after that. Though that could be the cause I never thought of that.

    Yea I'm having trouble figuring this out. I saw someone replace a gas cap and the lights went off but my gas cap seems okay to me. It's also one of the key lock ones so it wouldn't be loose from what I know.

    You can’t tell by looking. You could buy one, try it, and return it if it doesn’t solve the problem.

    Mine does the same thing, my check engine light and traction control lights come on, these lights turn on and off a lot for me but i live in a very cold area, it could be the traction sensor located by one of ur tires, allow you car to warm up in. garage every morning before you go for a drive, have that dirt or water get out of the sensopr and it shoudl go back to normal. this is just how it works for me though

    You kinda need to fix the solenoid to fix the code.

    You already changed the fluid you can try a complete flush and hope whatever is stuck unstucks.
