6F35 Pressure Control Solenoid 2015-2019, new and ready to install. Fits the 6F35. Ships fast from the USA.
This is a new line pressure control solenoid for the 2015-2019 Ford 6F35, made to replace Ford service number CV6Z-7G383-B. Owners shopping for it usually drive a 2.0L Explorer, an Escape, a Lincoln MKC or a Fusion and are dealing with one of three things: a pressure control solenoid code, harsh engagement into gear, or shifts that slip and flare once the transmission is hot. Replacing just this solenoid is the least expensive repair for those complaints when the rest of the transmission is healthy.
The 6F35 makes six speeds by applying clutches in pairs, and every one of them is squeezed with line pressure. This solenoid is the computer's only control over how high that pressure is. It works as a variable bleed valve: the computer changes the current, the solenoid changes how much oil it bleeds, and the main regulator valve follows that signal. Ford lists CV6Z-7G383-B as a high variable bleed solenoid, so it gives maximum pressure with no current. When it fails, pressure no longer matches torque, which is why a bad one can cause either harsh shifts or slip depending on how it fails. Late solenoid bodies also have a damper on the EPC circuit, per Sonnax, so pressure spikes are usually the solenoid itself and not a missing damper.
Check three things before you buy. First, the external harness at the case connector, where wires break inside intact insulation; back-probe and flex it with a meter connected. Second, the fluid, because old Mercon LV causes slip and shudder on its own. Third, the vehicle history: Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 20N07 covers certain 2016-2019 Explorer 2.3L and 2015-2019 Lincoln MKC models for shudder, rough idle in gear and sluggish launch, and the fix there is a torque converter. If those all check out and only the pressure solenoid codes are set, this part is the likely fix. If several circuits are affected, read up on worn valve body bores in our 6F35 transmission problems guide first.
This listing is for 2015-2019 6F35 applications, including the Explorer 2.0L, Escape 2.0L and 2.5L, Fusion 2.0L and 2.5L, MKC 2.0L and 2.3L, and MKZ 2.0L. Every one of these uses the Gen. 2 or Gen. 3 valve body (casting CV6P-7A100); it will not fit an early Gen. 1 unit. The listing's fitment also includes some 3.5L V6 vehicles with the larger 6F50 family, so compare your old solenoid against CV6Z-7G383-B before installing. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm, and see the full range of parts in the 6F35 collection.
Access is through the side cover over the valve body, so have a drain pan and fresh fluid ready. Keep dirt out of the open valve body, check the old solenoid's screen for debris, fit the new solenoid with lightly oiled O-rings and confirm it is fully seated before refitting the retainer and cover. Fill with Mercon LV only and set the level at operating temperature. Finish with an adaptive table reset and a relearn drive. If a scan shows codes on more than one solenoid, the full 2015-2022 solenoid kit is the better buy. Explorers that tow or idle in heat run their fluid hot, and a 2012-2019 transmission cooler helps protect the new solenoid and the fluid it depends on.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The 2.0L four-cylinder Explorer with the 6F35 is in the fitment list. For a 2.3L, compare your old solenoid to CV6Z-7G383-B or send us your VIN. The 3.5L V6 Explorer uses the larger 6F50, which is in this part's fitment list, but compare the number on your old solenoid to CV6Z-7G383-B first.
It is the same style of variable bleed solenoid, but it controls line pressure instead of a single clutch. Install it only in the pressure control position.
Yes. If it fails toward low pressure the clutches apply too softly and slip under load. If it fails toward high pressure you get harsh shifts instead.
Check Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 20N07 first. It covers shudder and rough idle in gear on certain 2015-2019 MKC and 2016-2019 Explorer 2.3L models and replaces the torque converter.
Refill with Mercon LV, check the level hot, clear the adaptive tables with a scan tool, and drive through all six gears so the computer relearns shift pressures.
