Shift Solenoid C Electrical

DTC P0763, sometimes indicated as P076300 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 electrical.

The P0763 code means that the PCM has detected a problem with the shift solenoid C electrical circuit.
Possible causes include a short circuit, a bad shift solenoid C, or a problem with the PCM.
If the code is recurring, check the wiring and connectors for damage, and replace the shift solenoid C if it is bad. If the code is not recurring, the problem may be with the PCM, and it should be checked by a qualified technician.

2011 FORD F-150 with 89000.0 miles

On 12 january 2017 when returning from a normal oil change and tire rotation at a dealership the operator heard what sounded like marbles in a coffee can coming from the transmission and the vehicle experienced erratic shifts and loss of power. These conditions were reported to and noted by the dealership's receptionist to be followed up on the next morning. On 13 january 2017 on the commute to work when accelerating from a stoplight on a city thoroughfare the vehicle downshifted abruptly from a high gear and shuddered to a halt in the middle of the roadway. The incident was so dramatic that the operator had assumed the driveshaft had been lost. The operator limped the vehicle into a nearby parking lot where the dashboard showed various warnings (see exhibit 1) and a towing company was called to transport the vehicle to the dealership. The vehicle had approximately 89,000 miles and the weather was sunny and 42 f on 13 january 2017. The dealership diagnosed the issue as an internal failure by using codes P0763, P0764, and P0979, along with removing the transmission pan which showed fine metallic shavings (see exhibit 2); the transmission was replaced by the dealership. This transmission issue was fortunate to not have resulted in any injuries or additional damages which could have easily occurred.

2006 KIA SORENTO with 177000. miles

Parked the car one night, next morning only clicks, clicking coming from fuse box too. New battery, battery and brake light are on, car dies after sputtering. This is a new $5,000 engine with only 20,000 miles due to a crankshaft pulley break ruining the original one. Now, it won't crank, obdii returns codes P0763 and P0101 which are shift solenoid and mass air flow electrical. The cooling fan relaly is burned as well as the fuse box circuit board it goes into. Have a mechanic coming to check it but not too optimistic given the car's history. Luckily, i only drove 3 miles to my other home when the second time for quitting occurred where it is still, now i'm out of a car and lots of obligations to fulfill and walking.
