P0762Shift Solenoid C Stuck On
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- A shift solenoid is an electrically switched valve in the valve body; the module checks whether its clutch follows the command by gear ratio, shift time or a pressure switch. P0762 means solenoid C is commanded off but its clutch stays applied. GM's Honda-built five-speed flags a 2–3 shift slower than 0.8 s together with a 4–5 shift faster than 0.8 s, after two trips; the Allison 1000 a pressure switch 3 still applied after 2 s (up to 4 s when cold), after one trip. Ford calls it 'functionally failed on' – the CB26 brake does not release, which ties up the transmission when leaving second or sixth gear. Ford's 10R80 bulletins list it with a leaking clutch cylinder.
