It is a common failure in this vehicle. In my case the mechanic changed the disc and gasket kit, charged $400 but the failure is still there. Another mechanics told me that there are two possible causes: the pressure regulator or the solenoid valve . The pressure can be read in the scanner. the solenoid valve needs to be changed all the valves set with a cost about $200. Try with this first.
