P07ADTransmission Friction Element F 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
- Each friction element (clutch or brake) has three functional codes: slip while commanded locked (P079A ff), performance/stuck off – it does not apply or applies too weakly – and stuck on – it does not release. No manufacturer document available to us uses this code; the documented hybrids have at most five monitored clutches. The description follows the family: when clutch F should release, slip stays below the expected profile. A clutch that does not release ties up the transmission, causing jolts or stalling. Slip of the same clutch is P079F.
