P0757: Shift Solenoid "B" Stuck On
3 vehicles · 3 makes · $150-$6,500 repair
Most Reported On
P0757 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Shift Solenoid "B" Stuck On.” This code means the transmission control module commanded shift solenoid B to turn off, but it detected that the solenoid (or its hydraulic valve) is stuck in the ON/applied position. Shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid that engages different gears, so a stuck solenoid prevents the transmission from shifting correctly. You may notice harsh shifts, the transmission being stuck in one gear, or no shift at certain points. Continued driving can stress and overheat the transmission. This code is most commonly reported on 2001-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix, 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.
