P0760 Code: Shift Solenoid “C”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If you’re having transmission issues, you can use an OBD-II scan tool to help you identify the problem. If you encounter the P0760 code, you can read this article to find out its definition, common causes, and common symptoms.

What Does the P0760 Code Mean? 

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0760 stands for “Shift Solenoid ‘C’.” Shift solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of fluid in automatic transmissions. There are usually two or more  shift solenoids inside a transmission assembly that are often designated A, B, and C, etc. When the powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction in shift solenoid “C,” then it will trigger the P0760 code.

When your vehicle’s PCM detects a malfunction in shift solenoid “C,” then it will trigger the P0760 code.

Shift solenoids are spring-loaded plunger devices that regulate the flow of transmission fluid to control shifting. Automatic transmissions rely on the flow of transmission fluid to work. When they malfunction, expect to have transmission-related issues.

Note: The definition of the P0760 code can be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer. Consult the appropriate repair manual or repair database for the exact code definition.

What are the Common Causes of the P0760 Code?

While the P0670 code usually means there’s a shift solenoid malfunction, it may also be caused by any of the following:

• Failed shift solenoid
• Corroded or damaged wiring
• Internal transmission failure
• Restricted hydraulic passages
• Defective transmission valve body
• Insufficient transmission fluid
• Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid
• Clogged transmission fluid filter
• Faulty PCM (rare)

If your transmission gets stuck in gear, it could be because of a logged P0760 code.

What are the Common Symptoms of the P0760 Code?

Here are the common symptoms of the P0760 code:

• Transmission slipping
• Transmission gets stuck in gear
• Decreased fuel economy
• Your vehicle enters limp mode
• Illuminated check engine light

How to Diagnose the P0760 Code

The P0760 code can have several causes, and identifying them can be difficult because you might need to visually inspect components like the shift solenoids, depending on the symptoms you’re experiencing. Since the transmission is difficult to access as they’re usually under the vehicle, inspecting it might need prior experience or specialist tools. If you’re unsure, then maybe the best course of action is to leave the task to a trusted mechanic.

How to Fix the P0760 Code

There usually isn’t a “magic bullet” that can fix any OBD-II code for any vehicle. The repair steps will vary depending on the faulty component and the vehicle model. The first step to repair the issue is proper diagnosis. Once you have an accurate diagnosis, then you can consult auto repair resources and how-to guides for possible solutions. Your owner’s manual can be helpful too, as it might have troubleshooting guides.
