P0758

Shift Solenoid B Electrical

Q: Is it safe to drive with P0758?

Only briefly. The transmission may be locked in a default gear, giving harsh or limited shifting. Driving far in limp mode adds heat and wear, so get it fixed soon.

Q: Can I just clear P0758?

It returns as soon as the module rechecks the solenoid circuit. The wiring, connector, or solenoid has to be repaired.

Transmission Generic OBD-II Medium

What it means

P0758 means the transmission control module detected an electrical fault — an open or short — in the shift solenoid B circuit. This solenoid directs hydraulic pressure to engage a gear; when its circuit fails, the module can't control that shift and often drops the transmission into a default limp-mode gear. It won't stop the engine from starting, but shifting will be harsh or restricted.

Medium

Can I keep driving? Often puts the transmission into a fixed-gear limp mode — you can usually drive it to a shop, but shifts may be harsh or locked, so keep the trip short.

How to diagnose & fix

Work through it in order

Read freeze-frame data and note whether the trans is in limp mode.
Check transmission fluid level and condition first.
Inspect the solenoid B wiring and connector for opens, shorts, and corrosion.
Measure the solenoid's resistance against spec; replace it if out of range.
If wiring and solenoid check out, suspect the TCM. Clear and re-test.
