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

03 Toyota 4runner 4wd 4.7l had codes p0771 , p0986, and p2716 with vsc light on. Told to replace trans. Replaced with used and now has p0778 and p2716 now with vsc light on and still harsh shifts

Who told u to replace trans?..first thing should have been done was check wiring and connections at transmission and ECM and between the 2...also need to check the pressure control solenoids B and D...its possible the ECM is acting up especially since P2716 came back twice.

Computer Code P-2716 (Pressure Control Solenoid - D - Electrical). What is this and will it hurt anything to drive it? Dealer can't see it for 6 days.

this code is caused by a problem in the engine/transmission control module, a new part has been released by Toyota to repair it, it may be coered under warranty. as to driving it, yes that is not a problem, u may experience a harsh trans shift that is about all.
