About P0764

P0764 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0764 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The fault code P0764 is triggered when the transmission control module (TCM) or the engine control module (ECM) in vehicles with integrated control systems detects intermittent operation of shift solenoid 'C'. This condition indicates that the solenoid, which is responsible for controlling hydraulic fluid flow for gear shifting, is experiencing erratic behaviour or loss of performance at irregular intervals. Such intermittent issues can be challenging to diagnose as they can be caused by a variety of factors ranging from electrical connections to internal solenoid failures, leading to inconsis...
