About this product

This is the line pressure solenoid for a 2007 Toyota with the U151E or U151F five-speed: the Sienna, Highlander V6, RAV4 V6, Camry Solara V6, Avalon and the all-wheel-drive Lexus RX350 of that year. If yours slides through the 2-3 or 3-4 shift with the pedal down, feels mushy once it is warm, or has stored P2714 or P2716, this is the part to test. It is a remanufactured SLT solenoid that replaces Toyota part number 35290-33020, with the red-label coil marking rated in the 5 to 6 ohm range. It is a single solenoid, not the full set.

What the SLT solenoid does in a U151E

Toyota's U151E valve body carries seven solenoids, and SLT is the only one whose job is line pressure. It is a linear solenoid: the transmission computer drives it with a varying duty ratio, and SLT in turn sets the signal that the primary regulator valve uses to raise or lower main pressure. More throttle and more load call for more pressure, so the clutches hold the extra torque of the V6. Toyota's repair manual notes that if SLT stays on, line pressure falls and the clutches will burn with continued driving. On a 2007 Sienna or Highlander that is often towing or hauling a full load, that low-pressure failure is the expensive one, because it cooks every clutch pack at once.

Symptoms of a bad U151E line pressure solenoid

How to confirm it before you buy

Check the fluid level the Toyota way, hot and through the check plug, because low fluid alone causes the same slip. Clear up any other transmission codes first, since Toyota lists stuck valves and worn clutches among the causes of P2714 too. Then test the solenoid itself: the factory resistance spec is 5.0 to 5.6 ohms at 68 F, and it should click and move when energized through a 21 W bulb. Read our guide to testing solenoids without a factory scan tool for that bench check, and the line pressure testing guide if you want gauge readings to prove the hydraulics. If you can feel the flare but the solenoid tests good, worn bores in the valve body are the next suspect; Sonnax sells a boost valve repair kit for exactly that low line rise problem on the U151E/F and U250E.

Fitment

The 2007 tag on this listing covers the U151E front-drive and U151F all-wheel-drive five-speed in the 2007 Sienna, Highlander V6, RAV4 V6, Camry Solara V6, Avalon and the U151F-equipped Lexus RX350. One correction to the reference on this listing: it mentions the Lexus ES350, but the 2007-2012 ES350 and the 2007-up Camry V6 use the six-speed U660E, a different transaxle, so do not order this for those cars. Match the part number 35290-33020 and the coil marking on the solenoid you remove, or send us your year and VIN and we will check. Other parts for Aisin front-drive units are in our Aisin collection, and the base U151E pressure control solenoid page covers the wider year range.

Install notes

Drop the pan, remove the filter and the solenoid retaining bolt, and pull SLT straight out of the valve body; do not pry on the coil. Lube the new O-ring with fresh fluid before seating it, torque the retainer to spec, and reconnect the internal harness. Refill with Toyota WS fluid only, such as the Toyota genuine ATF WS six-quart pack, and set the level at operating temperature through the check plug. Clear codes, reset the transmission learning values if your scan tool supports it, and drive several full shift cycles. If the car has high mileage or more than one solenoid code, replacing the whole set with the U151E solenoid kit during the same pan-off job saves a second teardown.

U151E Pressure Control Solenoid 2007: common questions

Does this fit a 2007 Toyota Camry V6 or 2007 Lexus ES350?

No. Those cars use the six-speed U660E. This solenoid is for the five-speed U151E and U151F, which in 2007 means the Sienna, Highlander V6, RAV4 V6, Camry Solara V6, Avalon and Lexus RX350.

What is the Toyota part number this replaces?

It is listed as a replacement for Toyota 35290-33020, the SLT line pressure solenoid. Compare the number and red coil marking on your old solenoid before installing.

Which trouble codes point to the SLT solenoid?

P2714 is the SLT performance code and P2716 is the SLT electrical circuit code. Fix any other transmission codes first, because a stuck valve or worn clutch can also set P2714.

How do I test the old solenoid?

Measure resistance across the terminals; Toyota's spec is 5.0 to 5.6 ohms at 68 F. Then power it through a 21 W bulb and confirm the valve moves. A reading out of range or no movement means replace it.

What fluid does the U151E take after the repair?

Toyota ATF WS only. Set the level hot through the check plug, since overfilling or underfilling both cause shift problems on these units.
