What Does P1760 Mean?
The transmission pressure control solenoid 'A' has detected a short circuit condition. This is often manufacturer-specific and may be duplicate or alternate designation for P1755 on some vehicles.
Safety Warning
Can cause sudden loss of transmission pressure leading to no engagement, harsh shifts, or transmission failure. Vehicle should not be driven.
Common Causes
35%
Internally shorted pressure control solenoid
30%
Damaged wiring harness with short to ground or power
20%
Transmission control module connector corrosion or moisture intrusion
15%
Failed TCM driver circuit for solenoid control
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Visually inspect transmission electrical connectors for damage, corrosion, or moisture
2
Step 2: Disconnect pressure control solenoid and measure coil resistance against specifications
3
Step 3: Test for short to ground using ohmmeter between solenoid terminals and chassis ground
4
Step 4: Inspect wiring harness for physical damage, melting, or contact with hot components
5
Step 5: Test TCM solenoid driver output with appropriate test equipment or substitute module
Estimated Repair Cost
$200 - $800
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The transmission pressure control solenoid 'A' has detected a short circuit condition. This is often manufacturer-specific and may be duplicate or alternate designation for P1755 on some vehicles.
The most common cause of P1760 (Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Short Circuit) is: Internally shorted pressure control solenoid
Typical repair costs for P1760 range from $200 to $800, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Can cause sudden loss of transmission pressure leading to no engagement, harsh shifts, or transmission failure. Vehicle should not be driven.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P1760 to identify the root cause.
