P0767 — Shift Solenoid C Electrical
Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
What P0767 means
This code means the transmission computer found an electrical problem in the shift solenoid C circuit, such as an open, short, or out-of-range resistance. It's often caused by damaged wiring, a corroded connector, or a failed solenoid coil. Repairs usually involve testing the circuit, fixing wiring or connectors, or replacing the solenoid, and it's commonly fixable without major transmission work.
Common symptoms
- Check engine light is on
- Transmission slips or shifts harshly
- Car gets stuck in limp mode
- Erratic or delayed gear changes
- Higher than normal engine RPMs
Common causes
- Damaged or chafed wiring in the solenoid circuit
- Corroded or loose electrical connector
- Failed shift solenoid C coil
- Short or open in the wiring harness
- Faulty transmission control module
Typical repair cost
$150 – $600
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep driving with a P0767 code?
For short trips, usually yes, but it's not ideal. An electrical fault can cause slipping or limp mode, which is unsafe in traffic, so have it checked as soon as possible.
How much does it cost to fix a P0767 code?
Most repairs run $150 to $600. Fixing a wire or connector is on the cheaper end, while replacing the solenoid costs more depending on your vehicle and labor.
Is a P0767 code serious?
Yes, it's best to address it quickly. Electrical faults that affect shifting impact safety and can worsen, so treat this as a high-priority repair.
What does the 'electrical' part of P0767 mean?
It means the issue is in the solenoid's wiring or coil rather than fluid or mechanical parts. The computer detected a circuit problem like a short, open, or bad resistance reading.
