10R80 Pressure Control Solenoid, new and ready to install. Fits the 10R80. Ships fast from the USA.
A 10R80 that slams into Drive or Reverse, bangs through light-throttle upshifts, or has set P0960, P0962 or P0963 is often pointing at the line pressure control solenoid. This is a new replacement for that solenoid, the cylindrical variable force solenoid with the blue connector body shown in the photo. It is used across the 10R80 family: F-150 and Transit from 2017, Expedition, Navigator and Mustang from 2018, and Ranger from 2019. Older Fords called this part the EPC solenoid; on the 10-speed, scan tools and service information call it the LPC solenoid.
The LPC solenoid does not apply a clutch itself. It sends a regulated signal to the main pressure regulator valve, and that valve sets line pressure for the whole transmission. A small signal damper piston between the two smooths out spikes. The 10R80 version is normally high and inversely proportional: at about 50 mA it gives full pressure, and at about 850 mA it gives very low pressure. The module never drops it to zero, either - a small idle current always stays on the circuit so the computer can monitor it. That design matters for diagnosis, because an open circuit or a solenoid that stops responding drives pressure up, not down.
Three parts sit in series on this circuit - the solenoid, the signal damper and the regulator valve - and worn regulator or damper bores produce the same complaints with a perfectly good solenoid. Scan all modules first, load-test the battery, and set the fluid level hot. Then watch LINEDSD (desired line pressure) against LPC_AMP (solenoid current). If the current does not move when the module commands a change, the fault is electrical and this solenoid or its wiring is the fix. If current tracks the command but the gauge does not follow, look at the valve body instead. Ford specifies a gauge rated for at least 300 psi with vibration dampening on the M10x1.0 line pressure port - never an NPT fitting. Our 10R80 pressure control solenoid symptoms guide lays out the full test and the numbers to expect, and the 10R80 F-150 shift problems guide covers the other causes of harsh shifts on the truck most of these units live in.
This listing does not name a year range, so treat it as a replacement LPC solenoid for the 10R80 and confirm it against your unit before installing. Replacement LPC solenoids are catalogued by year range, so compare the connector shape and color and the part number on your old solenoid with the one in the photo, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. It is not for the 10R60 in the Bronco or the 10R140 in Super Duty trucks. If you need a part tied to a specific year range, the 2019-2026 10R80 pressure control solenoid is listed separately, and everything for the 10-speed is on our 10R80 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. EPC (electronic pressure control) is the older Ford name. On the 10R80 the same job is done by the line pressure control solenoid, a normally-high variable force solenoid.
The circuit codes are P0960 (open), P0961 (range/performance), P0962 (low) and P0963 (high). P0868 and P0869 flag low or high fluid pressure and need a gauge test before the solenoid is blamed.
The 10R80 LPC solenoid is normally high: it gives full pressure at low or no current. An open circuit or a dead solenoid therefore pushes line pressure up, which shows up as harsh engagements and banging shifts.
This listing is for the 10R80 without a specific year range. Match the connector and part number on your old solenoid, or send us your year and VIN to confirm. It does not fit the 10R60 or 10R140.
Clear codes, confirm the solenoid body strategy matches the case tag, and let the transmission relearn. Shifts can be firm for a few days while adaptive values settle.
