P0760 on Hyundai
Shift Solenoid C Malfunction
P0760 on Hyundai vehicles indicates shift solenoid c malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Hyundai model — most commonly on Azera. This is a transmission code. Modern automatic transmissions use electrically controlled shift solenoids to direct fluid and engage the correct gears. P0760 means the transmission control module has detected an electrical fault with Shift Solenoid 'C' — the solenoid is not responding the way the computer commands, indicating an open circuit, a short, or a mechanical sticking issue. This often results in harsh or incorrect shifts, being stuck in one gear, or the transmission entering a protective 'limp' mode. Typical repair costs on Hyundai range from $100 to $3,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0760
- •Failed or stuck Shift Solenoid C
- •Low, dirty, or contaminated transmission fluid
- •Damaged wiring or corroded connector to the solenoid
- •Internal transmission valve body wear or debris
- •Clogged solenoid screen or fluid passage
- •Faulty transmission control module (less common)
P0760 on Hyundai by Model
Hyundai Azera(1 issue)
- Automatic Transmission Shift Hesitation and Shudder2006-2011
The 2006-2011 Hyundai Azera with the 5-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission develops shift hesitation, particularly a noticeable 1-2 shift delay under wide-open throttle when cold. The torque converter lockup clutch also develops shudder during light-throttle cruising at 35-55 mph. Hyundai issued a PCM recalibration procedure to address the cold-start hesitation. If the transmission fluid is not changed regularly, the shudder progressively worsens and can lead to torque converter failure or internal transmission damage. The Azera shares its transmission with the Sonata and Santa Fe of the same era.
