What Does P075C Mean?
Shift Solenoid G is mechanically stuck in the on position. The TCM detects that solenoid G remains energized or that the gear ratio it controls stays engaged when it should be released. This can cause the transmission to stay locked in an incorrect gear, create bind-up conditions between gears, or produce very harsh downshifts.
Common Causes
35%
Shift solenoid G mechanically stuck open due to debris or internal spring failure
25%
Valve body shift valve stuck in the applied position
20%
Short circuit in solenoid G wiring keeping the solenoid permanently energized
15%
Transmission fluid contamination preventing solenoid valve from closing
5%
TCM driver circuit stuck on, continuously powering solenoid G
Diagnostic Steps
1
Check live data for the gear solenoid G controls — verify it remains engaged even when the TCM commands it off.
2
Disconnect solenoid G electrically and check if the stuck-on condition clears, indicating an electrical vs. mechanical issue.
3
Measure solenoid G resistance and check for a short to power in the wiring circuit.
4
Inspect the transmission valve body for a stuck shift valve in the solenoid G hydraulic circuit.
5
Replace solenoid G and service transmission fluid if contamination is present.

The most common cause of P075C (Shift Solenoid G Stuck On) is: Shift solenoid G mechanically stuck open due to debris or internal spring failure
Typical repair costs for P075C range from $300 to $1,400, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
A stuck-on solenoid can cause gear bind-up or prevent proper downshifting. This creates unpredictable driving behavior. Limit driving to reaching a repair facility and avoid high-speed roads.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P075C to identify the root cause.
