GM 6L80/90
MULTIPLE SOLENOID PERFORMANCE CODES
COMPLAINT: Vehicles equipped with the 6L80/90 family of transmissions may exhibit intermittent
solenoid performance trouble codes including, P0776 Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid 2, 3-
5-R Clutch Stuck Off, P0796 Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid 3, 1-R/4-5-6 Clutch Stuck
Off, P2714 Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid 4, 2-6 Clutch Stuck Off, P2723 Clutch Pressure
Control Solenoid 5, 1-2-3-4 Clutch Stuck Off.

CAUSE: The cause may be, that the bore plug at the end of the Clutch Regulating Valve is leaking at the
retainer, as shown in Figure 1, causing a slow reaction of the regulating valve and a loss of
solenoid signal pressure, which in turn can cause a Solenoid Stuck Off code or a Solenoid
Performance code. Refer to Figure 2 for a view of each solenoid and its regulating valve line-
up.

CORRECTION: To correct this condition, replace the end plugs with the O-ringed end plug kit as shown in
Service information or remove the bore plug and with a tubing cutter, knurl the plug to stop
the leak, then re-install the plug. See Figure 3 for a valve body exploded view.
