2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0761 indicates that there is a problem with the shift solenoid C performance or it is stuck off. This can cause transmission shifting issues such as harsh shifting, delay in shifting, or even failure to shift.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Harsh shifting

  • Delayed shifting

  • Failure to shift

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Reduced fuel economy

Possible Causes:

  • Malfunctioning shift solenoid "C"

  • Wiring issues in the shift solenoid circuit

  • Low transmission fluid level

  • Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid

  • Faulty transmission control module (TCM)

Related Parts:

  • Transmission Shift Sensor: Gear Shift Sensor communicates the position the gear shifted to. Problems lead to difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the shift solenoid "C"

  • Inspect and repair any damaged wiring or connections in the shift solenoid circuit

  • Check and refill the transmission fluid level

  • Perform a transmission fluid flush and replace with clean fluid

  • Replace the transmission control module (TCM) if necessary
