P0770Shift Solenoid E
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- What shift solenoid E does depends on the transmission. On Ford's 6R80 and 6F35/6F55 it is an on/off valve that moves a multiplex valve, so solenoid D feeds either the low/reverse brake or the 4-5-6 clutch; on the 6R140 and 5R110W it is a proportional clutch valve with separate short codes (P0985/P0986). On Saab's Aisin 5-speed E is valve S1. P0770 is the general code for solenoid E; Ford uses it for an open circuit, detected when the smart driver feedback disagrees with the command for 0.5–5 s, and on the 6R80/6F it covers all circuit faults of the solenoid. On Ram's 6.7 L with Aisin AS69RC a 2023 bulletin traces P0770 to a leaking capacitor in the engine module, together with other circuit codes. Limp mode follows; on the 6R80/6F engine braking in first or the 4th–6th gears may be missing.
- What you may notice
