Shift Solenoid C Performance/Stuck Off

What does this code mean?

Severity : High

P0761 means automatic transmission shift solenoid "C" is not performing as expected or is stuck off. The control module compares the gear actually engaged with the gear requested using input and output speeds. A fault in this solenoid often causes abnormal shifts or limp mode.

Symptoms

  • Check engine or transmission warning light on.
  • Harsh, delayed or missing gear changes.
  • Gearbox stuck in one gear.
  • Higher fuel consumption.

Possible causes

  • Low or degraded transmission fluid.
  • Sticking or faulty shift solenoid C.
  • Dirty passages in the valve body.
  • Damaged transmission wiring or connector.
  • Internal mechanical wear in the gearbox.

Diagnosis and repair

  • Check transmission fluid level and condition.
  • Inspect the transmission connector and wiring.
  • Measure solenoid C resistance and test its operation.
  • Change the fluid if it is degraded.
  • Replace the solenoid or valve body if needed, then clear the code and road test.
