    What does P0760 Mean?

    Shift solenoids are vital to the functioning of your vehicle’s computer-controlled automatic transmission. It uses them to manage the movement of fluid between various hydraulic circuits and activate a change in transmission gear ratio when necessary. Those different gears are necessary to get the best possible fuel efficiency, maximize the performance of your engine and decrease the speed of your vehicle.

    Code setting parameters are different across all makes and models. However, almost all of them utilize calculations based on engine load, throttle position, engine speed and vehicle speed so as to pick the correct gear ratio.

    It’s when the desired ratio doesn’t fall in line with the actual ratio identified that the P0760 code gets stored. The Check Engine Light may also be activated, but certain vehicles will only do this after multiple ratio discrepancies.

    What are the common causes of P0760 ?

    Common causes include a faulty shift solenoid, hydraulic blockages inside the internal transmission fluid passages, mechanical internal transmission failures, low transmission fluid, dirty or contaminated transmission fluid, a faulty PCM or transmission control module.

    How do you troubleshoot P0760 ?

    Look for damage to the tank indicating impact that may have damaged the fuel pump or sender. If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition. Look for rubbing, scraping, bare wires, worn spots or melted plastic connectors. Pull the connectors apart and carefully look at the terminals (the metal parts) inside the connectors.
