    What does P0788 Mean?

    OBD-II Code Transmission may not shift properly is defined as a Shift Timing Solenoid "A" High

    The Transmission Control Module (TCM) uses shift solenoids to control the hydraulic pressure in the transmission which is needed to apply the various clutch packs in the transmission that provide the different gear ratios needed to efficiently propel the vehicle down the roadways. When the TCM detects a shift solenoid is not performing as desired, it will set code P0788.
