What are the Possible Causes of the DTC P0756?

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Low transmission fluid level
  • Dirty transmission fluid
  • Faulty shift solenoid 'B' valve
  • Shift solenoid 'B' valve harness or connectors
  • Shift solenoid 'B' valve circuit is open or shorted

Code Tech Notes

When the transmission solenoid is stuck off, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is very dirty, it is recommended to change the transmission fluid and if possible, remove the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a transmission mechanical failure, and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.
