What Does P1752 Mean?
The electrical circuit for shift solenoid A is shorted to power or ground, causing excessive current flow. This is an electrical fault rather than a mechanical solenoid failure.
Common Causes
35%
Shorted shift solenoid A coil windings
30%
Wiring harness chafed through to ground or power
25%
Damaged or corroded connector causing cross-circuit short
10%
Transmission fluid intrusion into connector causing short circuit
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Disconnect solenoid connector and measure solenoid resistance (should be 15-30 ohms typically)
2
Step 2: Check for short to ground in wiring harness with solenoid disconnected using multimeter
3
Step 3: Inspect transmission connector for moisture, corrosion, or damaged pins causing shorts
4
Step 4: Measure voltage at solenoid connector with key on to verify no unwanted voltage present
5
Step 5: Monitor current draw on solenoid circuit using ammeter during commanded operation
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $600
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The electrical circuit for shift solenoid A is shorted to power or ground, causing excessive current flow. This is an electrical fault rather than a mechanical solenoid failure.
The most common cause of P1752 (Transmission Shift Solenoid 'A' Circuit Shorted) is: Shorted shift solenoid A coil windings
Typical repair costs for P1752 range from $150 to $600, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Transmission may default to limp mode with limited gear availability. Vehicle remains drivable but should be repaired to prevent TCM damage from overcurrent.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P1752 to identify the root cause.
