P0750

Shift Solenoid 'A' Malfunction

High severity

What it means

This code means your car's computer has detected a problem with 'Shift Solenoid A' in your automatic transmission. This solenoid is responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid to engage specific gears.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

Driving with a P0750 code can lead to unpredictable shifting, transmission slipping, or being stuck in a single gear. This can cause further damage to the transmission and is unsafe due to unreliable vehicle operation. Avoid driving until repaired.

Most likely causes

  • Faulty Shift Solenoid 'A'

    high

    The solenoid itself can fail electrically or become clogged, preventing proper fluid flow.

  • Dirty or Low Transmission Fluid

    medium

    Contaminated or insufficient fluid can prevent solenoids from operating correctly and cause blockages.

  • Wiring Harness Issues (open, short, corrosion)

    medium

    Damaged wires or corroded connectors to the shift solenoid can disrupt its operation.

  • Transmission Control Module (TCM) Failure

    low

    Rarely, the TCM itself might be faulty, sending incorrect signals to the solenoid.
