6F35 Pressure Control Solenoid 2015-2016, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2015 or 2016 Ford with the 6F35 six-speed that suddenly slams into Drive, shifts hard on every upshift, or throws a P0962 is often telling you the line pressure solenoid has failed. This new solenoid replaces Ford service number CV6Z-7G383-B for the 2015-2016 model years, covering cars such as the Escape, Fusion, Edge and Lincoln MKZ. By these years the original-equipment solenoids have plenty of miles on them, and a single tired EPC solenoid is a common and affordable fix.
Every clutch in the 6F35 is applied with line pressure, and this solenoid is what tells the main regulator valve how much to make. The computer varies the current to it based on throttle, load and temperature. Ford's catalog lists CV6Z-7G383-B as a high variable bleed design, so less current means more pressure. When the coil weakens, the valve sticks, or debris lodges in the screen, the pressure signal no longer matches what the computer asks for. The result is either too much pressure, felt as harsh shifts, or too little, felt as flare and slip. By 2015 every 6F35 had the Gen. 2 solenoid body introduced in 2013, which Sonnax identifies by its CV6P-7A100 casting and an added damper on the EPC circuit.
Before you open the valve body, check the external harness at the transmission connector, where wires can break inside insulation that looks fine. Pull the fluid next: Mercon LV that is dark and burnt can cause shift complaints by itself. If several shifts are bad and the codes cover more than one circuit, the problem is more likely worn bores in the aluminum valve body than this solenoid, and Sonnax makes oversized valve kits for that wear. The full diagnostic order is in our guide to 6F35 problems.
This part is listed for 2015-2016 6F35 applications. The fitment list for CV6Z-7G383-B also includes 3.5L V6 models of the Taurus, Edge, Lincoln MKT and MKZ, which use the larger 6F50 and 6F55 versions of this transmission family, so on those vehicles check that the number on your old solenoid matches before ordering. A 2015-2016 unit should have the CV6P-7A100 casting; an early 9L8P or BL8P body is Gen. 1 and its solenoids are not interchangeable. If you are not sure what you have, send your year and VIN and we will check it, or see everything we carry in the 6F35 parts collection.
Drain the fluid and remove the side cover to reach the valve body. Unplug and remove the old solenoid, inspect its filter screen for debris, and note any metal or clutch material, since that tells you whether the problem is bigger than a solenoid. Lubricate the new O-rings with clean Mercon LV and seat the solenoid square in its bore. Refill with Mercon LV, check the level hot, then reset the adaptive tables and do a relearn drive. If you find more than one weak solenoid, the 2015-2022 solenoid kit renews them all at once. If the screen was full of friction material, plan on a rebuild kit with frictions and steels instead of only a solenoid.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, the 2015-2016 Fusion 2.0L and 2.5L automatics use the 6F35 with the Gen. 2 valve body this solenoid is made for. Confirm your old solenoid reads CV6Z-7G383-B.
The MKT 3.5L is in the fitment list for this part number, but it uses the larger 6F50 family. Compare the number on your removed solenoid to CV6Z-7G383-B, or send us your VIN before ordering.
No. Sonnax notes Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 solenoids and valve bodies are not interchangeable. A 2015-2016 unit is Gen. 2, so use the CV6Z-7G383-B part.
If only the pressure control solenoid codes are present and the wiring tests good, one solenoid is a reasonable repair. If codes cover several circuits, look at a full solenoid kit or the valve body bores.
Yes. Clear the transmission adaptive tables and drive through all gears so the computer can relearn shift pressure. Without a reset, the old learned values can make shifts feel wrong.
