Code details

Generic OBD-II · P0

System: Transmission
Code type: Generic (SAE / ISO controlled)
Standard: SAE J2012 / ISO 15031-6

Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not diagnose the geartrain before checking solenoid C command, wiring, and fluid condition.

Symptoms of P0760

Harsh, delayed, or slipping shifts, or being stuck in one gear.
Check-engine light, sometimes with limp-home mode.
Flaring RPM or a shudder under load.

Common causes of P0760

Low or degraded transmission fluid.
A failing speed sensor, shift solenoid, or pressure-control circuit.
Wiring, connector, or internal hydraulic/mechanical faults.

Useful checks before replacing parts

Review solenoid C command, actual gear, input speed, output speed, shift timing, and ratio-code history.
Check fluid level and condition, solenoid C wiring, internal harness, case connector, and transmission connector sealing.
Determine whether the code sets electrically at key-on or during a specific hydraulic shift event.
