About P0767

P0767 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 P0767 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 P0767 is set when the transmission control module (TCM) or the engine control module (ECM) in vehicles with integrated control systems detects that shift solenoid 'D' is continuously in the 'on' position, despite commands to deactivate. This solenoid is crucial in managing hydraulic fluid flow for the engagement and disengagement of gears in the transmission. When it is stuck in the 'on' position, it may lead to improper gear shifts, failure to shift out of a gear, or other abnormal transmission behaviour.
