2010 Toyota Camry Transmission issue

Asked by Gus1800 Nov 29, 2021 at 05:34 PM about the 2010 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2010 Toyota Camry 2.5L with 137,000 miles. I started noticing that
the transmission was having some issues. All of a sudden, when I started the
car and put it drive or reverse, it won't move. After much pressing of the
accelerator, it started moving. Then I started hearing some weird noises
coming from the transmission when I'm driving.

Like 500 miles later, it won't move into drive or reverse at all. Then I scanned
it and got the codes: P0746 (Pressure Control Solenoid "A"
Performance/Stuck Off), P2714 (Pressure Control Solenoid "D"
Performance/Stuck Off). Other codes that popped up: P0741, P0796, P2757.
I dropped the pan. Fluid was black and filter seemed to be clogged.
Replaced fluid and filter. Now only reverse is working. Car will not move I put
it in drive. Could this just be solenoid issue? If yes, how can I identify the
solenoids? Should I replace all the solenoids? Has anyone had a similar
issue? Thanks

It seems (according to the DTCs this Camry's PCM is giving and Transmission malfunction complain) that it is not just about solenoids issue. not 100% sure but also sounds it has malfunctions on everything about the reverse gearing: reverse clutch, plates, pistons, seals, internal/external splines, and few more. but you could give it a one last try before taking it to the Transmission shop for the big repair: Check 1) if shift lever comes out of PARK without applying regular brakes and ignition switch turned to ON. 2) If Engine starts on gears others than PARK or NEUTRAL. 3) if ignition key comes out switch in any position, any gear others than PARK and LOCK/OFF. if it fails, take it to the dealer, Camry needs service. if it not: Do a Transmission Fluid flush (Special flushing machine is needed), after that disconnect NEG battery cable for 10 minutes to reset the PCM. re-connect and drive. conditions persist: comeback for the big repair. Thanks.
