What this code means
P2715 can indicate that the CVT lock-up clutch control solenoid valve is stuck ON.
The code description and the detection condition describe different parts of the diagnosis: “Stuck ON” names the solenoid condition, while an out-of-specification torque converter slip ratio during driving is what causes the TCM to recognize an abnormality and store the code.
What the vehicle may do
- The torque converter slip ratio may be out of specification.
Possible fault areas
- The lock-up solenoid may be the fault area.

What P2715 means
On this 2025 Honda Accord 1.5, we’re looking at P2715. This code means the CVT Lock-Up Clutch Control Solenoid Valve is stuck ON. While you’re driving, the TCM stores this code when the torque converter slip ratio is out of specification. Here is what this code tells us. The torque converter slip ratio may be out of specification. Here are the main areas to check. The lock-up solenoid may be the fault area.
Before troubleshooting
Before you troubleshoot, review How to Troubleshoot.
Lock-up solenoid work item
Replacement is the listed work item for the lock-up solenoid. The solenoid is integrated with the Valve Body Assembly.
Confirmation Procedure
Here is how the separate Confirmation Procedure is defined. Start the engine. Keep the brake pedal pressed. Shift the transmission to N position/mode, then shift to D position/mode. Release the brake pedal. Test-drive in D position/mode at speeds 12 mph (20 km/h) or below for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the vehicle. Then turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. Repeat that sequence once more. Start the engine. With the brake pedal pressed, shift to N position/mode, then to D position/mode. Release the brake pedal. Test-drive in D position/mode at speeds 12 mph (20 km/h) or below for at least 10 seconds. Slow down and stop the vehicle. Then turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
The repetition applies to the whole engine-start-through-OFF (LOCK) sequence, not just the driving portion. This makes two complete cycles, each including the brake-held N-to-D shift, brake release, driving in D at 12 mph (20 km/h) or below for at least 10 seconds, and a stop followed by OFF (LOCK). The speed is an upper limit; the time is a minimum.
