P0771 on Lincoln
Shift Solenoid E Performance/Stuck Off
P0771 on Lincoln vehicles indicates shift solenoid e performance/stuck off. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Lincoln model — most commonly on Aviator. This code indicates a performance problem with shift solenoid 'E', or that it appears stuck off — meaning the transmission isn't getting the gear engagement or behavior the computer commanded from that solenoid. Shift solenoids route hydraulic fluid to apply clutches and bands for specific gears, and on many transmissions solenoid E is tied to the torque converter clutch or a specific shift element. When the resulting action doesn't match the command, this code sets, often producing harsh or missing shifts, slipping, or a transmission limp mode. It generally points to the solenoid, fluid condition, or the valve body.
Common Causes of P0771
- •Stuck or failed shift solenoid E
- •Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid
- •Clogged valve body passages or sticking valve
- •Open, shorted, or chafed solenoid wiring
- •Corroded or loose transmission connector
- •Internal hydraulic leak or worn seals
- •Faulty transmission control module (TCM)
P0771 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.

What does P0771 mean on Lincoln?▼
P0771 stands for "Shift Solenoid E Performance/Stuck Off." This code indicates a performance problem with shift solenoid 'E', or that it appears stuck off — meaning the transmission isn't getting the gear engagement or behavior the computer commanded from that solenoid. Shift solenoids route hydraulic fluid to apply clutches and bands for specific gears, and on many transmissions solenoid E is tied to the torque converter clutch or a specific shift element. When the resulting action doesn't match the command, this code sets, often producing harsh or missing shifts, slipping, or a transmission limp mode. It generally points to the solenoid, fluid condition, or the valve body. On Lincoln specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
