P0969 BUICK code

The trouble code P0969 can be described as Pressure Control Solenoid “C” Control Circuit Range/Performance.

What does code po796 mean?

P0796 code definition



The presence of the P0796 code in the PCM means that an abnormal reading from the electronic pressure control solenoid, or the related circuit, was detected.

What is Engine code P2761?

P2761 is a specific OBD-II code that indicates a problem with the main circuit of the pressure control solenoid within the TCC being in an open position. The TCC connects the turbine shaft to the torque converter’s shell, creating a one-to-one connection between engine output and transmission input.

What is code P0776 mean?

P0776 code definition



Code P0776 is an indication that your vehicle’s PCM has found an abnormality related to the electronic pressure control solenoid circuit or simply the solenoid itself.

Where is the transmission pressure control solenoid located?

In most cases, solenoids are located inside of the oil pan, connected to the valve body. Depending on what you drive, the technician may be able to replace just the failed shift solenoid.

What is a transmission pressure control solenoid?

Transmission Pressure Control Solenoid: DESCRIPTION



The transmission pressure control solenoid controls the fluid pressure to the internal friction plate clutches or drum bands. A bad or failing transmission pressure control solenoid can cause slipping, which can result in the transmission overheating.

How do I fix error code P2761?

What Repairs Will Fix P2761?

  1. Change the transmission fluid and filter.
  2. Repair transmission fluid leaks.
  3. Clean corrosion from connectors.
  4. Repair or replace wiring.
  5. Replace faulty torque converter clutch pressure control solenoid.
  6. Repair or replace a faulty torque converter clutch.
  7. Repair or replace defective torque converter.

Where is the torque converter clutch circuit located?

The torque converter is located between the rear of the engine and the front of the transmission. Inside this device is the torque converter clutch (TCC)—a component made up of a friction material that locks the converter shell onto the turbine shaft.

How do you bypass a TCC solenoid?

To bypass the shift and TCC solenoids, you simply need to connect standard 194 light bulbs to these individual circuits coming from the PCM and then connect the other side of the bulbs to ignition B+. The light bulbs will then serve as a “load” which will simulate the solenoids.

How much does it cost to fix a pressure control solenoid?

The replacement will cost you about $60-$140 for one hour. Generally, it cost you $150-$400 to get your vehicle inspected and the system replaced on the diagnosis of any fault. Single solenoids are around $15-$100 to buy. The entire pack will be a bit more expensive and range between $50-$300.

How much does it cost to replace the shift solenoid?

$200 to $500

Shift Solenoid Repair and Replacement Cost



The overall cost to replace the shift solenoid in an automatic transmission ranges from $200 to $500 for a single solenoid. If the damage requires you to replace the entire solenoid pack the cost increases to between $250 and $700.
