P08E6Shift Solenoid L Control Circuit/Open
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Open circuit in the control path of shift solenoid L: harness, connector, internal transmission wiring or the coil itself no longer carry current, so the valve cannot be energised. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. Among the documented analogues, Ford reports an open circuit through each solenoid's base code, P0750 for solenoid A, and GM counts it as part of the high-voltage code P0974; a stand-alone open code therefore has no known user. Ford's electrical checks need 0.5 to 5 seconds of mismatch between command and feedback. CARB requires the check. Measuring coil resistance at the transmission connector separates a coil fault from a harness break. P08E4 and P08E5 cover the shorts.
- What you may notice
- Check engine or transmission warning light on
- Gear range missing or fixed gear
- Harsh shifts
- Likely causes

- PossibleOpen solenoid coil
- RareConnector unlatched or terminal backed out
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
