Our certified mechanics come to you · Get a fair and transparent estimate upfront
P0752 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "Shift Solenoid A Stuck On". This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic for $154.99 . Once we are able to diagnose the problem, you will be provided with an upfront quote for the recommended fix and receive $50.0 off as a credit towards the repair. All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.

The P0752 code signals that an abnormality was detected by the PCM in shift solenoid A.
If this code gets stored by your PCM, it’s because the vehicle isn’t shifting correctly. Your computer-controlled automatic transmission works by using shift solenoids to manage the fluid running between the hydraulic circuits. By doing so, they can actuate a change in the transmission ratio gear.
Varying gear ratios are necessary to speed up or slow down, get the best possible fuel efficiency and maximize the performance of your engine.
When the P0752 code is triggered, it’s because the gear required by your vehicle’s ECM doesn’t line up with the actual gear when you’re driving.
This code can be stored for a handful of reasons:
There are really only two symptoms that will occur in relation to a P0752 code. The first is that the Check Engine Light should come on. The second is that your vehicle’s transmission will refuse to shift gears.
Your mechanic will use a scanner and a digital ohmmeter to diagnose this code. If they find that multiple shift solenoid codes have been stored, this will tell them that delayed engagement or transmission component slippage has occurred.
Next, they’ll check to see if the transmission pressure is sufficient for actuating gear changes. They’ll also check to see if transmission fluid pressure is low and/or has burned.
Your mechanic will inspect the system’s wiring and connectors to see if they’re in normal working order.
Finally, they’ll connect the scanner to the diagnostic connector and record all the trouble codes that have been stored and freeze frame data as this information can be helpful for identifying any intermittent conditions that may have led to the code being stored.
As we mentioned above, this code may be triggered because of a malfunctioning shift solenoid circuit. In fact, that’s one of the most common reasons this code appears. However, despite how prevalent this problem is, it often gets missed.
Instead, shift solenoid malfunctions are blamed and a replacement is carried out in error.
The code isn’t serious insofar as it won’t put your life in danger. However, it will make your vehicle impossible to drive because you can’t shift gears. If you try forcing the vehicle into gear, you could also wind up doing a lot more damage.
Fortunately, repairing the problem that is triggering this code could be relatively simple and quick:
When the transmission solenoid is stuck, most of the time, the problem isn’t going to be the electrical part of the solenoid. Instead, the problem is going to be a foreign material getting in the way of the solenoid’s mechanical function or the flow of fluid through the transmission valve body.
