P0960

DTC P0960, sometimes indicated as P096000 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 pressure control solenoid "a" control circuit/open.

The P0960 code means that the pressure control solenoid "A" control circuit is open. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as a bad solenoid, a shorted wire, or a broken connector.
The first step in fixing this code is to check the wiring and connectors for damage. If everything looks okay, then the next step is to test the solenoid for proper operation. If the solenoid is bad, then it will need to be replaced.
