Error code p2822, on 2004 Sprinter 158 WB

[kasey]

Hi, I am trying to see if anyone has dealt with an error code p2822. I did some research on this and it's referring to a Faulty Pressure Control Solenoid 'J'.
I've went to europarts-sd.com and try to order this solenoid but it only has a, b or c??? where's j...

I've flushed the transmission fluid (including the torque converter), new conductor plate, adaptor plug. Also cleaned the whole valve body with electronic spray, removing the solenoid and reinstalling after cleaning. Cleared the code with my autel ap200 reader and the code keeps coming back after a few miles of driving.

Anyone has any insight on this please let me know, running out of ideas on getting rid of this check engine light error code P2822.

Thanks for any help.

what scanner did you use? sprinter specific?

Autel MaxiAP200, I've downloaded the sprinter one. 2004 sprinter 158wb. New glow plug and module. New Battery. New egr valve. And transmission flush. Checked all hoses all seemed good

 

[erldrums]

all the other usual stuff?..oil in the harness up to the tcm, etc, etc?
i've not seen a solenoid "j"?

 

[kasey]

There was oil by the connector, I will have to look at the tcm under the driver seat , tomorrow..thanks

 

[kasey]

Ok so I've cleaned a little oil off the wire harness from the tcm and the plug connector with electrical spray. Let it dry and reinstalled.

Some places was point to the crank position sensor so out of regular maintenance I've also replaced that as well.

Reset the check engine light and it's shifting more sluggish.

Running out of ideas things to look for. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

I also have this code continuing to pop, and am unsure of it's diagnosis. The sprinter mechanic I've gone to wants to replace the TCM box (possibly faulty due to trans fluid seepage), and then the solenoids. I'm reluctant to spend 1.5k for them to do this.

Am seeking other opinions... also have a 2004, 118!

I came across this article, it seems pretty helpful

P2822 Pressure Control Solenoid J Electrical

How to easily diagnose, repair, and symptoms and causes of a P2822 code that indicates a detected electrical problem within the J pressure control solenoid.

www.obd-codes.com

It looks like the solenoid "J" is an electrical component that looks pretty easy to instal. not sure where it's located exactly.

I already replaced the plug connector and cleaned the TCM a while ago (contact spray) and the code keeps returning. I'll try replacing the entire wire harness, the TCM, and then the solenoid, in that order. Not sure how difficult it will be to replace the harness, but it's probably the cheapest thing to start! Then the TCM because it's super easy to replace, just expensive! Then I might need help with the solenoid, as I'm thinking it'll be invasive.

That solenoid information doesn't appear to be NAG1 transmission specific.

It would be interesting to see what the Ord DTC book lists for the P2822. (If he lists it as Sprinter specific.) My Ord copy is away from me right now or I'd look it up.

Vic,

Eric's book is saved in DIY Sprinter... http://diysprinter.co.uk/reference/T1N_CompleteSprinterFaultCodeGuide.pdf

And it does not seem to recognise P2822.

Keith,
Thanks. The PDF is handy.

I didn't find it either. It is certainly not listed in the EGS aka TCM section. The "solenoid j" thing doesn't seem to apply.

A quick search found these posts among others.

T21 Recall for OM647s - Recommended Dealerships

Here’s a couple of Northern California successes. A couple of months ago I took my 06 Freightliner van to MB of Rocklin (near Sacramento) and it breezed through. I reported that on the Freightliner T21 thread. Today I took my 06 motorhome (sold as a Dodge) to Folsom Lake Dodge also near...

Hey all - So this Sprinter has been a total nightmare since the check engine light came on half way home from the dealership. It's a 2006 SWB Hightop Passenger with ~184k I had a battery issue at one point and the dealer said he would put a new battery in it for me (I think he just switched...

T21 Emissions Recall Notice

2004 Dodge 2500 SHC 140 Sorry to not update on my experience for a while. I had glowplug replacement (broke one!) and some other issues to deal with. The van did have a slew of codes showing going in for the recall, but they were all glow plug and gp module related with the exception of O2...

Maybe somehow related to the T21 Recall?

T21 Emissions Recall Notice

The California registration renewal notice just arrived in the mail, smog check required. But no word about the recall. Have you tried checking carfax or mopar website? If it states that recall is due than that what DMV will see also. If you have Dodge you can check online to see if T21...

Oh boy this old stuff, and associated with hydraulic control transmission.
You'll be lucky to find that animal unless you like tinkering on old Chev transmissions & Borgeh Warners on old Jags !!

I was told to get a hold of a dealership about a software upgrade. It may just be an old stored code that is no longer relevant.

 

[areeevan]

@Aqua Puttana I called Mercedes Dealer and they were no help. I also have a bunch of IC codes (5) and 2 "open circuit communication codes" (which seem like they could be related), and the weird IC battery drain thing. After reading through a couple T21 threads, I'm going to take this to a recommended nearby MOPAR demanding some recall help. This is all pointing to an IC issue, and think these are all DTC related from an update gone wrong. Thanks for chiming in.

I am a new Sprinter (04 Freightliner 144 SHC) owner and have been lurking in here while I slowly clear all the codes it came with. This forum is awesome and a real money saver. I have this same code that continues to pop up and also the T21 "upgrade". It includes the instrument panel not turning off unless you turn the key 3 times to the Aux position prior to removing the key. Please let us know how this turns out if you do resolve it. Thanks for all the help from the community.

UPDATES:
I went to one of the only MOPAR dealers in town. They gave me the run around, and basically wouldn't touch the vehicle concerning any IC, programming, or recall stuff. However, the tech provided a leader. I've now got an appointment with a specialized ECU / PCM programmer. They are very familiar with the recall issues, and have quoted around $500 to reprogram. Will repost with updates.

I was told that because Freightliner is with Deimler, and because they still work directly with Sprinters, their official dealers may be able to help you, unlike Dodge.
