About this product

This listing is built around the 2015-2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder and the 6F35 six-speed, and the same solenoid also serves the Transit Connect and the EcoSport 2.0L. It is a new electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid made to Ford service number CV6Z-7G383-B. If your Edge has started thumping into Drive from Park, flaring on the 2-3 or 3-4 shift when warm, or has stored a pressure control solenoid A code, this is the one part in the valve body that governs every one of those shifts.

What the pressure control solenoid does in a 6F35

The 6F35 builds its gears by holding two clutches at a time, and the force on each clutch comes from line pressure. There is no throttle cable or vacuum modulator in this transmission. The powertrain computer calculates the pressure it wants from engine torque, gear and fluid temperature, then drives this solenoid with a varying current. The solenoid bleeds oil to create a signal, and the main regulator valve follows that signal to raise or lower line pressure. Ford catalogs CV6Z-7G383-B as a high variable bleed solenoid, meaning output is highest when it has no current. A turbocharged 2.0L makes strong low-speed torque, so the computer leans on this solenoid hard on every launch, and any lag or sticking shows up as a bang or a slip right away.

Symptoms of a failing EPC solenoid

Keep in mind that a worn solenoid pressure regulator bore in the valve body can mimic a bad solenoid. Sonnax sells repair valves for that bore in Gen. 1 through Gen. 3 6F35 castings because it is a known wear point, and a new solenoid will not fix a leaking bore.

How to confirm it before buying

Start with a scan tool and read codes and commanded versus actual pressure data where your tool supports it. Check the fluid level hot and look at its condition, since low or burnt Mercon LV causes slip on its own. Inspect the harness connector at the case for corrosion or bent pins. If the codes point only at the pressure control circuit and the wiring tests good, the solenoid is the likely cause. If you have codes on several solenoids or the problem stays after a solenoid swap, read our 6F35 transmission problems guide for the valve body wear patterns that come next.

Fitment

The listing's fitment covers the 2015-2018 Edge 2.0L, 2015-2019 Escape 2.0L and 2.5L, 2015-2019 Explorer 2.0L, 2015-2020 Fusion 2.0L and 2.5L, 2015-2022 Transit Connect 2.0L, 2018-2022 EcoSport 2.0L, and Lincoln MKC 2.0L and 2.3L and MKZ 2.0L. It also lists several 3.5L V6 vehicles that use the larger 6F50 family. All of these use the later valve body; Sonnax notes that the 2013-and-later Gen. 2 casting (CV6P-7A100) does not interchange with the 2009-2012 Gen. 1 body, so this solenoid is not for an early unit. Compare the number on your old solenoid to CV6Z-7G383-B, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Browse the full 6F35 parts collection for everything else that fits these years.

Install notes

On the Edge the solenoids are reached through the valve body side cover on the transaxle, so drain the fluid and support the area before removing the cover. Disconnect the battery, unplug the solenoid, remove its retainer and pull it straight out. Clean any debris from the bore and screen, lube the new O-rings with clean ATF, push it fully home and reinstall the retainer. Refill with Mercon LV only, check the level with the engine running at operating temperature, then reset the transmission adaptive tables and do a relearn drive through all six gears. If more than one solenoid has codes, the 2015-2022 6F35 solenoid kit covers all of them for less than buying singly, and a high-mileage unit with a worn bore is better served by the 2015-2019 valve body with solenoids.

6F35 Pressure Control Solenoid 2015-2018: common questions

Does this fit a 2017 Ford Edge with the 2.0L EcoBoost?

Yes. The 2015-2018 Edge 2.0L four-cylinder is in this solenoid's fitment list. If you want to be sure, match the number on your old solenoid to CV6Z-7G383-B or send us your VIN.

Will it fit my Transit Connect or EcoSport?

The fitment list includes the 2015-2022 Transit Connect 2.0L and the 2018-2022 EcoSport 2.0L. Confirm the old solenoid's number before you install it.

Can I use this in a 2011 Fusion?

No. 2009-2012 models use the Gen. 1 valve body and solenoids, which do not interchange with the 2013-and-later design this solenoid is made for.

Why does my Edge bang into Drive?

Harsh engagement is a classic sign of line pressure that is too high, which a sticking EPC solenoid can cause. Low fluid and worn engine mounts can feel similar, so check those as well.

What fluid and setup does it need after install?

Use Mercon LV only. Set the level hot with the engine running, then clear the adaptive tables with a scan tool and drive the vehicle through every gear so the computer relearns.
