P0776 on Chevrolet
Pressure Control Solenoid B Performance/Stuck Off
P0776 on Chevrolet vehicles indicates pressure control solenoid b performance/stuck off. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chevrolet model — most commonly on Equinox. This code means the transmission's Pressure Control Solenoid B is not performing correctly and is behaving as if stuck in the 'off' position. Pressure control solenoids regulate the hydraulic fluid pressure used to apply clutches and bands and to control shift quality, so when one underperforms the transmission may shift harshly, slip, flare between gears, or feel inconsistent. The transmission control module sets this code when the fluid pressure or response it measures doesn't match what it commanded from that solenoid. It generally indicates a hydraulic performance issue with the solenoid or its fluid circuit rather than just a wiring fault. Typical repair costs on Chevrolet range from $1,800 to $4,000, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0776
- •Stuck or failed pressure control solenoid B
- •Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid
- •Clogged solenoid screen or valve body passages
- •Sticking or worn valve body components
- •Wiring or connector problem at the solenoid
- •Internal transmission wear or pressure loss
- •Faulty transmission control module
P0776 on Chevrolet by Model
Chevrolet Equinox(1 issue)
- 6T70/6T75 transmission shudder, hard shifts & 3-5-reverse wave plate failure2010-2017
Equinox models with the GM 6T70/6T75 six-speed automatic suffer shudder, harsh or delayed shifts, slipping, and loss of reverse. A common root cause is failure of the 3-5-reverse wave plate, which can crack and cause extreme shudder when reverse is engaged and eventual loss of drive. Overheated/degraded fluid that loses viscosity accelerates internal wear. Failures typically appear between roughly 60,000 and 150,000 miles. Owners report bucking when engaging gear, failure to shift out of 2nd, and inability to engage reverse.

What does P0776 mean on Chevrolet?▼
P0776 stands for "Pressure Control Solenoid B Performance/Stuck Off." This code means the transmission's Pressure Control Solenoid B is not performing correctly and is behaving as if stuck in the 'off' position. Pressure control solenoids regulate the hydraulic fluid pressure used to apply clutches and bands and to control shift quality, so when one underperforms the transmission may shift harshly, slip, flare between gears, or feel inconsistent. The transmission control module sets this code when the fluid pressure or response it measures doesn't match what it commanded from that solenoid. It generally indicates a hydraulic performance issue with the solenoid or its fluid circuit rather than just a wiring fault. On Chevrolet specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P0776 on Chevrolet vehicles?▼
Common causes on Chevrolet: Stuck or failed pressure control solenoid B, Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid, Clogged solenoid screen or valve body passages, Sticking or worn valve body components, Wiring or connector problem at the solenoid.
