Code result
P074E
Unable to Engage Gear 6
High severity
What it means
The transmission cannot engage gear 6 when it is commanded. The element that should apply for gear 6 — shift solenoid, clutch pack, or band — does not build or hold pressure, so the gear never locks in. Symptoms are slipping, no power transfer in that gear, or a forced limp mode. Causes: a failed shift solenoid, a worn clutch pack, or a valve-body or hydraulic-supply fault on the gear-6 circuit.
