U151E Pressure Control Solenoid 2006, new and ready to install. Fits the U151E. Ships fast from the USA.
2006 was a crossover year for Toyota's V6 five-speed. The U151E was still behind the 3.0L and 3.3L engines in the Camry, Camry Solara, Sienna, Highlander, Lexus ES330 and RX330, and it was now also bolted to the new 3.5L in the Avalon and the first V6 RAV4. If one of those vehicles flares between gears when you accelerate, goes soft once the fluid is hot, or shows P2714 on a scan tool, the SLT line pressure solenoid is the part to check. This listing is that solenoid, new, Toyota part number 35290-33020, made by Aisin and carrying the red label that identifies the 5 to 6 ohm coil. You get one solenoid, not the valve body set.
The U151E valve body holds seven solenoids. Most of them steer individual clutches or the lock-up clutch, but SLT sets the base pressure that every one of those circuits works from. It is a linear solenoid, so the transmission computer does not just switch it on and off; it varies the duty signal according to throttle and load, and SLT passes a matching signal pressure to the primary regulator valve. Floor it, tow, or climb a grade and line pressure goes up so the clutches clamp harder. Cruise lightly and it comes back down for smoother shifts and less heat. Toyota's repair manual warns that if SLT stays energized, line pressure drops and the clutches will burn with continued driving, which is why a weak SLT can turn a solenoid job into an overhaul.
Check the fluid first, at operating temperature through the check plug, since a low level alone produces flare and slip. Scan for other transmission codes too, because Toyota lists stuck valves and worn clutches among the causes of P2714. On the bench, the SLT spec is 5.0 to 5.6 ohms at 68 F, and the valve should move when powered through a 21 W bulb. Our solenoid testing guide explains that check without dealer equipment. If the solenoid passes but the slip remains, put a gauge on it with the line pressure testing guide; worn boost valve bores in the valve body cause the same low line rise.
For the 2006 model year this solenoid fits the U151E front-drive and U151F all-wheel-drive five-speeds: Camry V6 (the last year before the six-speed), Camry Solara V6, Sienna, Highlander V6, Avalon, RAV4 V6, Lexus ES330 and Lexus RX330. It does not fit the 2006 four-cylinder Camry, Solara or RAV4, which use four- or five-speed units from the U24x and U25x families. The listing's reference chart also names the ES350 and later Camry, but those moved to the six-speed U660E for 2007, so ignore those entries. The safest match is the number 35290-33020 and the red coil marking on the solenoid you remove; you can also send us your year and VIN. More parts for this family are in our Aisin transmission collection.
The solenoid lives on the valve body, so the job is pan off, filter out, then unbolt the SLT retainer and ease the solenoid straight out of its bore without levering on the coil. Coat the new O-ring with clean fluid, seat it fully, torque the bolt and reconnect the harness plug. Refill with Toyota WS only; a genuine Toyota ATF WS six-quart pack covers a pan drop with some left over. Set the level hot at the check plug, clear the codes, and reset the learned shift values if your scan tool has that function. On a high-mileage 2006 with more than one solenoid complaint, the U151E solenoid kit replaces the full set in the same visit, and a unit that is already slipping in every gear needs the U151E overhaul kit rather than a solenoid.

Only the V6 Camry. The 2006 V6 still used the U151E five-speed. The four-cylinder 2006 Camry uses a different transaxle and a different solenoid set.
This listing is new: the Aisin-made SLT solenoid, Toyota part number 35290-33020, with the red label coil.
P2714 is the SLT performance code and P2716 is the SLT circuit code. Clear up any other transmission codes first, because stuck valves and worn clutches can set P2714 as well.
Measure 5.0 to 5.6 ohms across the terminals at about 68 F, then power it through a 21 W bulb and watch for valve movement. Out of range or no movement means replace it.
Yes. The U151F all-wheel-drive version uses the same SLT solenoid. Match the 35290-33020 number on your old part to be sure.
Toyota ATF WS only, with the level set hot through the check plug.
