P0755 on Dodge
Shift Solenoid B Malfunction
P0755 on Dodge vehicles indicates shift solenoid b malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 3 Dodge models — most commonly on Charger, Intrepid, Nitro. This code means the transmission control module commanded shift solenoid 'B' but did not see the expected electrical response, indicating an electrical fault in that solenoid or its circuit. Shift solenoids are small electrically-operated valves inside the automatic transmission that route pressurized fluid to engage the correct gears at the right time. When the computer detects an open, short, or out-of-range signal on solenoid B's circuit, it flags this code. You may notice harsh or wrong-gear shifts, the transmission stuck in one gear, or 'limp' mode. Typical repair costs on Dodge range from $250 to $3,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0755
- •Failed or stuck shift solenoid B
- •Damaged, shorted, or corroded solenoid wiring/connector
- •Low or dirty/contaminated transmission fluid
- •Clogged transmission filter or fluid passages
- •Valve body wear or internal hydraulic fault
- •Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
- •Internal transmission mechanical wear
P0755 on Dodge by Model
Dodge Charger(1 issue)
- 42RLE 4-Speed Transmission Solenoid and Connector Failure2006-2010
The 42RLE 4-speed automatic in V6 Chargers suffers from solenoid failures and corrosion in the 10-pin solenoid harness connector. Causes slipping, harsh shifts, limp mode, and P0750/P0755/P0760/P0765 codes. Cup plug for park pawl anchor shaft can fail (recall).
Dodge Intrepid(1 issue)
- 42LE Transmission Solenoid Pack Failure1993-2004
The 42LE (A606) automatic transmission solenoid pack develops electrical failures causing harsh shifts, stuck in gear, or limp mode (locked in 2nd gear). The solenoid pack is an all-in-one unit that must be replaced as an assembly.
Dodge Nitro(1 issue)
- 42RLE 4-Speed Transmission Solenoid Failure2007-2011
The 42RLE 4-speed automatic suffers from solenoid pack failures and corrosion in the 10-pin connector. Same issues as Charger V6 42RLE. Causes slipping, harsh shifts, and limp mode.
