P0750

Shift Solenoid "A" Circuit

high severityDo not drive$200-$700

Shift solenoid A circuit fault.

Common symptoms

  • Stuck in one gear
  • Harsh / missing shifts
  • CEL

Likely causes

  • Failed solenoid
  • Wiring
  • TCM driver fault

Where to start

  1. Try the cheapest cause first. Start by checking: failed solenoid.
  2. Cost & scope. $200-$700
  3. If the code returns after the fix: escalate to a shop or scanner with live-data and freeze-frame. A code that re-sets means the underlying fault is still there. Don't keep driving with this one active — risk of damage.
Read the full diagnostic procedure

P0750 is the electrical circuit fault for Shift Solenoid A — open, shorted, or out-of-range resistance. Shift Solenoid A on most domestic 4-speed and 5-speed transmissions handles the 1-2 or 2-3 shift hydraulics; on 6-speeds the naming convention varies by OEM, so verify against the FSM before ordering parts. Fluid check first as always; then the same external diagnostic flow as P0740: unplug the case connector, inspect for corrosion, check pin alignment, dielectric grease, clear code, road test. If it returns, ohm out the solenoid from the case connector — most shift solenoids spec 10-40 ohms; on/off solenoids tend to land 20-30 ohms, PWM (linear) solenoids land 5-15 ohms. Out of spec = solenoid pack replacement on modern integrated assemblies (you rarely replace a single solenoid because they live on a shared body). One important caveat: a stuck-open or stuck-closed solenoid passes the electrical check but fails the performance check — P0750 is the wiring code, P0751 is the 'it's connected but not doing its job' code, so a clean P0750 with no P0751 is almost always external (harness/connector) rather than internal.

Vehicle-specific patterns

Vehicle-specific patterns: 2002-2008 Honda Accord/Odyssey 5AT throws P0750 from external shift solenoid A failure — Honda part 28400-P7W-003, $50-80 each, swap-able without pan drop. 2003-2009 Toyota Camry V6/Sienna/Highlander with the U151E throws P0750 from internal solenoid degradation, requires pan drop, $200-300 solenoid + filter + fluid. 2004-2010 Ford F-150/Mustang with the 4R75E uses solenoids accessible from the valve body after pan removal; P0750 there is usually corroded internal harness, $100 wiring repair + $80 solenoid. 2006-2012 Chrysler Sebring/Avenger/200 with the 41TE throws P0750 routinely from the integrated solenoid pack — Chrysler's solenoid pack assembly with TCM, $400-700 replacement, no rebuild required. Estimated repair: $150 (external solenoid) to $1,200 (full solenoid pack + service).
