What are the trouble codes for the C solenoid?

What are the trouble codes for the C solenoid?

The trouble codes related to this, the “C” solenoid, are codes P0760, P0761, P0762, P0763 and P0764 based on the specific malfunction that alerts the PCM to set the code and illuminate the Check Engine Light. These codes will also be associated to the A, B or C solenoid circuit.

What is the severity of the p0761 OBD-II trouble code?

In this case, the P0761 OBD-II trouble code is associated with a detected performance problem or a stuck off situation in the the transmission Shift Solenoid “C” Circuit. Example of shift solenoids: What is the severity of this DTC?

What to do if your shift solenoid malfunctions?

The first step is to make sure the fluid level is correct and inspect the condition of the fluid for contamination. Then, a thorough visual inspection to check the associated wiring for obvious defects such as scraping, rubbing, bare wires, or burn spots should be performed.

How many solenoids are in an automatic transmission?

Although generic, the exact repair steps may vary depending on year, make, model and powertrain configuration. Most automatic transmissions incorporate at least three solenoids that are solenoid A, B and C.

What does shift solenoid valve C do in a car?

Shift solenoid valve ‘C’ is turned ON or OFF by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch, vehicle speed and Engine Control Module ( ECM) (throttle opening). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position.

What causes a transmission solenoid to be stuck off?

When the a transmission solenoid is stuck off, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body.
