P0760

Shift Solenoid C Malfunction

DTC P0760, sometimes indicated as P076000 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the onboard computer system or ancillary outputs causing shift solenoid c malfunction.

The P0760 code means that the TCM (Transmission Control Module) has detected a malfunction in the shift solenoid C circuit.
There are several possible causes for this code, including a bad shift solenoid, a bad wiring connection, or a bad TCM.
The best way to diagnose this code is to start by checking the wiring and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion. If everything looks good, then test the shift solenoid for continuity and resistance. If the solenoid is bad, then replace it. If the TCM is bad, then replace it.

2007 KIA SPECTRA with 124678. miles

I was driving on the interstate about 65 mph. All of sudden, the car lost all forward motion power. When i pressed the gas, the rpms increased, but the car did not get any power. The engine continued to run without problem. After stopping on the shoulder, i put the car in park and turned off the engine. After starting again, i put the car in drive, the forward power was working again and the car shifted fine. Transmission fluid was changed at 110,000 miles. Suspecting transmission, i took to a transmission specialist. I was given the following information: error code P0750 shift solenoid; error code P0755 shift solenoid b; error code P0760 shift solenoid c; error code P0765 shift solenoid d. Was given price quote to fix, but encouraged to contact Kia dealership about problem as they had seen this before on other similar Kia Spectras. Called dealership to inform them of problem. Left message, but never got a return call; and the one time i got a person, i was told that they would have someone from service call me back. Never heard from anyone. On may 16, 2015, the same thing happened, only this time turning the car off did not work and the check engine light came on. I was able to disconnect the battery and reconnect, then the car shifted again. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a recall? Before i spend $2000, i want to know if Kia is avoiding my calls because they know there is problem? Did internet search and have found similar complaints.

2006 KIA SPECTRA with 100.0 miles

Problem is the check engine light came on/off and on again. Fault codes were P0700 and P0748 as done at autozone. Some type of fault with the transaxle (P0700) or failed transaxle control module/failed linear solenoid valve/open or short cicuit condition in the linear solenoid control. While driving the car shutters hard car shifts fine when engine is cold. When engine warms up (after driving about 10 miles) while cruising in 4th gear, a lurch is felt from the drive train and the trans down shifts to 3rd gear. Shifting to neutral and back to drive doesn't help. The trans stays in 3rd gear. Shutting the car off and let it cool down and it is back to working normal again. Thinking about replacing the shift control module. Fix link....

2003 TOYOTA RAV4 with 188400. miles

On or about may 5, 2013 i noticed my car started to hard shift, though i was driving as usual. The problem happens off and on and is most noticeable when waiting at a stop sign, red light or drive thru at a restaurant. The shift jolt is most noticeable when needing to accelerate or shifting into drive--it doesn't happen when i go into reverse. The shift jolt sometimes is accompanied by a thud noise. On may 7, 2013 i contacted Toyota headquarters and discuss this with a customer service representative at 1-800-331-4331. She transferred me to a rude and cantankerous woman who seemed to have heard the story before. She stated i need to go to a dealership and get a diagnostic, which costs $100 in my area. She then stated that if any of the following codes appear: codes: P0750, P0753, P0755, P0758 or P0760 that i would need to replace ecm module first, if still problem the faulty module could've messed up the transmission. She conceded that Toyota issued a bulletin to the dealerships and apparently it is a widespread problem. At some point i received a Toyota internal case number. She said there was nothing she could do for me as i am not under warranty. I have 188,000+ miles on my car and apparently if it is not under 150,000 mile warranty. I take very good care of my car and it is not my fault the problem did not appear within a randomly selected mileage they chose. Toyota admitted they knew of the problem and they are liable for any manufacturer's defect of the ecm/transmission. I request your assistance in getting my car repaired for free as it is Toyota's faulty/defective part that is now causing my car problems. the consumer stated after getting the repairs done, Toyota refused to reimburse her for the repairs. They wouldn't even consider partial payment. Even though, a customer service representative initially told her she would need to get the repairs done and ten Toyota would reimburse her.
