P0982Shift Solenoid D Control Circuit Low
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Low-voltage fault, in practice a short to ground, in the control circuit of shift solenoid D. Ford is the documented user: its summaries list SSD with P0765 open, P0982 short to ground and P0983 short to power, checked continuously through the driver feedback within 0.5 to 5 s. Which clutch this hits depends on the gearbox. In the 6R80 and 6F, SSD is a variable force solenoid feeding CBLR or C456 via the SSE multiplex valve; in the 6R140 it drives CBLR alone. In the 2023 diesel summary SSD is fed from supply TSPC2 with SSB, the converter clutch and line pressure solenoid. GM's six-speed and Allison tables do not use P0982. Ferrari reuses it for an actuator 3 sensor reading too low.
- What you may notice
- MIL on and default gear operation
- No engine braking in first or no reverse, depending on gearbox
- Harsh shifts into upper gears
- Likely causes
- LikelySolenoid D control wire shorted to ground
- PossibleInternal short in solenoid D or the main control assembly
- PossibleDamaged internal lead frame or connector inside the transmission
- RareFaulty driver in the powertrain or transmission module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
