P0751 on Lincoln vehicles indicates shift solenoid a performance/stuck off. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Lincoln model — most commonly on Aviator. This code means the transmission control module commanded Shift Solenoid A (sometimes called Shift Solenoid 1) but the transmission did not respond properly, with the solenoid acting as though it is stuck 'off.' Shift solenoids are electrically operated valves that direct hydraulic fluid pressure to engage gears, so when one underperforms the transmission may shift harshly, slip, or fail to change gears at the right time. The computer sets this code when the measured gear ratio or shift behavior does not match the commanded state. It generally indicates a hydraulic or performance issue with the solenoid or the fluid circuit it controls inside the automatic transmission.

Common Causes of P0751

  • •Stuck or failed Shift Solenoid A
  • •Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid
  • •Clogged solenoid screen or valve body passages
  • •Sticking or worn valve body components
  • •Wiring or connector problem at the solenoid
  • •Internal transmission mechanical wear
  • •Faulty transmission control module

P0751 on Lincoln by Model

Lincoln Aviator(1 issue)

  • 10R60/10R80 MHT Harsh or Delayed Engagement and Shifts (TSB 22-2428)2020-2023

    Some 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviators equipped with a 10R60 and built on or before December 23, 2022, or a 10R80 MHT and built on or before August 15, 2022, may have harsh or delayed engagement and/or harsh or delayed shifts. Ford TSB 22-2428 says the condition may involve PCM/TCM software, the transmission solenoid-ID strategy, sticking main-control valves, or axial movement of the CDF clutch-cylinder sleeve. The complaint may occur with or without a malfunction indicator and the bulletin's listed transmission DTCs. The symptom alone does not select a valve body, CDF cylinder, or complete transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P0751 mean on Lincoln?▼

P0751 stands for "Shift Solenoid A Performance/Stuck Off." This code means the transmission control module commanded Shift Solenoid A (sometimes called Shift Solenoid 1) but the transmission did not respond properly, with the solenoid acting as though it is stuck 'off.' Shift solenoids are electrically operated valves that direct hydraulic fluid pressure to engage gears, so when one underperforms the transmission may shift harshly, slip, or fail to change gears at the right time. The computer sets this code when the measured gear ratio or shift behavior does not match the commanded state. It generally indicates a hydraulic or performance issue with the solenoid or the fluid circuit it controls inside the automatic transmission. On Lincoln specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.

What causes P0751 on Lincoln vehicles?▼

Common causes on Lincoln: Stuck or failed Shift Solenoid A, Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid, Clogged solenoid screen or valve body passages, Sticking or worn valve body components, Wiring or connector problem at the solenoid. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.

How much does it cost to fix P0751 on a Lincoln?▼

Repair costs vary widely depending on the root cause and specific Lincoln model.

Which Lincoln models have P0751 documented?▼

Au7o has documented P0751 on 1 Lincoln model: Aviator.
