You need a transmission repair shop to drive this and perform a diagnosis but my gut says you are going to need a rebuild of the transmission. Do not drive this is you think the transmission is slipping it will burn up the clutch pack and then you will absolutely need it rebuilt, about a $4000.00 repair.

SOURCE: Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical

You need to take it to a reputable repair facility. The pressure control solenoid needs to be checked for proper operation. If the solenoid is operating properly, the PCM (Powertrain Control Module[computer]) will need to be replaced. If you continue to drive the vehicle with this condition the transmission will eventually destroy itself.

Sounds like you have a bad wheel speed sensor. You need to have it scanned. Since it's been sitting, it might just be a bad connection to one of the speed sensors.

SOURCE: VSC off light is on and so is the engine light

Does it just stay on, all the time? If so then yes send it in. Its under warranty so not to worry. A scan-tool is needed to identify what the code/s are, via the engine light.

SOURCE: Pressure Control Solenoid P2716

have the code checked especially if the car is out of warranty. If it is still under warranty take the car to the dealership . The Pressure Control Solenoid determines the quality and accuracy of the shift points and if you let it go the transmission will not shift properly after a period of time. The pressure control solenoid is used by the PCM to raise the mainline hydraulic pressure during high throttle - this increases the holding force on the clutches and bands and prevents slipping. The pressure control solenoid is controlled by pulses from the PCM and this in turn operates the boost valve insde the valve body.

The problem could be either in the PCM or it could be an electrical problem with the solenoid. As suggested it should be diagnosed by a transmission tech. They can check if the PCM is good by looking at the pulses with an oscilloscope at the connector and they should also be able to test the continuity of the solenoid. If the solenoid is faulty the valve body will need to be removed and the solenoid replaced.
good luck

I have bad Transmission on 2010 chevy Equinox and I used my carmd scanning and I get the code P0776 What will be the problem if I have to rebuild the Transmission???

Pressure control solenoid be stuck off. You need a scanner to check it. With a scanner you can turn it on and off, listen for a clicking noise at the front transmission pan. No clicking, replace the transmission control module behind the pan. Check for metal in the fluid. Lots of metal flakes or chunks. The transmission need rebuilt.

Rx330- check light is on and vsc light is on. Engine is shaken. What does it mean?

There is a problem with the performance of the engine, and you should have the engine computer checked for trouble codes.
Anytime the check engine light is on, the vsc is on too because the vsc uses the engine to control the car.

03 Toyota Avalon Check Engine Light and VSC Light

As compgeek09 stated, yes the DTC (diagnostic trouble code) should be found out first. And yes, AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts should be able to retrieve the code for you. Then you should be able to tell how severe the problem is.

Yes, you should still be able to drive the vehicle. When the check engine light starts flashing is when you should stop driving the vehicle. Also, if your city/state require smog emissions, the vehicle will probably fail the test. Then you'll be required to repair the problem.

Lastly, Vehicle Stability Control. That light is probably related to the check engine light since it sounds like they both came on at the same time. The VSC controls engine power. Thus, if there is a problem with the engine (check engine light), the VSC can't do it's job.

Once the check engine light problem is repaired, the VSC light should go off as well.
