DTC P2711:  Unexpected Mechanical Gear Disengagement

General Description 

GHH305147Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The purpose of the diagnostic is to detect a stuck position of one of the two parking lock valves in the hydraulic control unit. Parking lock valve 1 is actuated by the solenoid valve, and parking lock valve 2 is actuated by the pressure regulator of clutch C. The two parking lock valves provide or cut the hydraulic supply to the parking lock cylinder. The parking lock can only be disengaged if both parking lock valves are supplying hydraulic pressure. When the parking lock is engaged during engine off and one of the parking lock valves is stuck in the supply position, it could cause an unnecessary disengagement of the parking lock. If the park position sensor output shows that the parking lock is in disengagement position despite the shift position is in P position/mode, the transmission control module (TCM) detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected, the A/T gear position indicator blinks and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the TCM memory. The MIL does not come on.
