10R60 Pressure Control Solenoid 2017-2026, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R60. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is for owners who want one pressure control solenoid that covers the whole production run of Ford's 10R60, from the first 2020 Explorer and Aviator to current Bronco models. It replaces Ford HL3Z-7G383-P, the main line pressure solenoid on the 10-speed main control. People usually find it after an Explorer starts banging into gear on cold mornings, an Aviator shifts hard at light throttle, or a Bronco throws a pressure control circuit code and drops into a fail-safe mode.
Ford calls this part the LPC solenoid. It is one of eight solenoids on the 10R60 main control: six shift solenoids that apply the A through F clutches, a torque converter clutch solenoid, and this one. The six shift solenoids decide which clutches are on; the LPC decides how hard all of them are squeezed by setting the signal to the main regulator valve. According to GEARS Magazine, the LPC is inversely proportional, delivering maximum pressure at about 50 mA and minimum at about 850 mA, and the module never takes the circuit fully to zero so it can keep watching it. In a light-duty unit like the 10R60, which tops out at 443 lb-ft, that pressure control is what lets Ford give soft, quick shifts in daily driving and still clamp the clutches hard when you tow or floor it.
Start with the software and bulletin history. Ford TSB 22-2428 covers harsh or delayed engagements and shifts on 10R60 units built on or before December 23, 2022, and its causes include software, the solenoid ID strategy stored in the module, sticking valves and CDF clutch cylinder sleeve movement. If your Explorer or Bronco was built before that date and has shift solenoid or ratio codes rather than a pressure code, follow that bulletin first. On later builds, or once the bulletin is done, compare commanded line pressure with LPC solenoid current on a scan tool and confirm with a gauge if you can. Our 10-speed harsh or delayed shift guide covers the checks in order, and the 10R80 vs 10R60 comparison lists where the two units differ. If valves are the problem, Sonnax's vacuum test guide for the 10R60 and 10R80 main control maps each bore to its symptom.
The 2017-2026 span in the title is borrowed from the 10-speed family, which started in the 2017 F-150. The 10R60 itself runs from the 2020 model year: 2020-up Explorer and Aviator and 2021-up Bronco with the 2.3L or 2.7L EcoBoost. GEARS points out that Ford calibrates each 10-speed solenoid at the factory and prints a band number on it, and that a replacement must carry the same band number as the one it replaces. Compare the band stamp, the blue connector and the part number on your old solenoid with this one before you order, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. You will find related parts in our Ford 10-speed collection.
Drain the fluid, remove the pan and filter, and unplug the main control connector before touching the solenoid. Clean the bore, inspect it for scoring, lube the O-rings with clean fluid, and fit a new retaining clip; Ford services the clips separately and calls for new ones in its main control procedure. Refill with Mercon ULV, set the level at operating temperature, clear codes, and run an adaptive learning drive. If the solenoid bores or valves are worn, the 10R60 valve body for 2017-2019 or a Sonnax 10-speed valve body kit addresses what a new solenoid cannot. Replacing the complete valve body, unlike a single solenoid, requires programming the solenoid strategy from the new body's tag into the module.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Only a 10-speed with the same band number and part number. The 10R60 started in the 2020 model year, so a 2017-2019 vehicle has a 10R80, not a 10R60. Compare your old solenoid with this one or send us your VIN.
Yes. Ford's 10-speed service information calls it the line pressure control (LPC) solenoid; many parts catalogs still use the older EPC name for the same job.
Replace the filter and pan gasket, use a new solenoid retaining clip, and refill with Mercon ULV. If the converter clutch has shuddered, the TCC solenoid sits on the same main control.
Check whether Ford TSB 22-2428 applies. It covers 10R60 vehicles built on or before December 23, 2022 with harsh or delayed engagements and shifts, and its first steps are software and solenoid strategy checks rather than parts.
Yes. Clear codes and run the adaptive learning drive so the module relearns clutch fill pressures with the new solenoid; skipping it can leave firm shifts for a while.
