P0752: Shift Solenoid A Stuck On

Most Reported On
P0752 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Shift Solenoid A Stuck On.” This code means the transmission computer detected that shift solenoid A is stuck in the 'on' (energized/applied) state, so it is not responding to commands to turn off. Shift solenoids control hydraulic fluid flow to engage gears, and a stuck solenoid can lock the transmission into wrong gears or cause harsh, erratic shifting. This can lead to drivability problems and potential transmission damage if not addressed. This code is most commonly reported on 2022 Ford Maverick (XL, XLT, Lariat), and 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviator, with repair costs ranging from $150 to $6,500.

What you can do yourself, and what needs a shop
Reading the code, clearing it, and watching whether it returns is a driveway job with the right scanner. These steps are not:
- Module programming or software updates — needs the manufacturer software or a J2534 pass-through with a paid subscription.
- Replacing a control module — most are VIN-programmed and immobilizer-registered, so a new one does nothing until it is coded to your car.
- Airbag/SRS component work — a stored fault can deploy a live device.
If the vehicle is still under warranty, check for an open recall or technical service bulletin before buying anything — the repair may already be covered.
