P0776 on Nissan
Pressure Control Solenoid B Performance/Stuck Off
P0776 on Nissan vehicles indicates pressure control solenoid b performance/stuck off. Au7o has documented this code across 2 Nissan models — most commonly on Rogue, Titan. 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 Nissan range from $250 to $6,500, 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 Nissan by Model
Nissan Rogue(1 issue)
- P0741 — Torque Converter Clutch Stuck Off from JATCO CVT Lock-Up / Valve Body Failure2008-2020
The Rogue's JATCO continuously variable transmission uses a torque converter with a lock-up (TCC) clutch, and P0741 sets when the ECM/TCM commands lock-up but the clutch doesn't engage or slips. On the Rogue this is part of the notorious Nissan CVT failure pattern: contaminated/degraded CVT fluid, a worn or sticking valve body/lock-up control valve, or a failing lock-up solenoid prevent proper clutch application. It commonly appears alongside CVT judder/shudder codes (P17F0/P17F1) and P0776/P0841/P0868 pressure faults. Owners report shudder while slowing or under light 25-45 mph acceleration, a 'rubber-band' hesitation, harsh or slipping engagement, and in worse cases overheating into limp mode. Nissan addressed the family via a TSB and extended CVT warranty coverage (up to 84 months/84,000 miles for many 2014-2018 units) rather than a recall.
Nissan Titan(1 issue)
- 9-Speed Automatic Transmission Harsh Shifting, Hesitation, and Limp-Mode Behavior2020-2024
Multiple 2020-2024 Titan owners report rough 2-3 or 3-4 shifts, delayed engagement when selecting Drive or Reverse, shuddering under light throttle, and occasional reduced-power or fail-safe operation. Nissan issued technical service information for transmission control module and valve body related drivability concerns on trucks using the 9-speed automatic. Owners commonly describe the problem as intermittent at first, then more frequent as mileage accumulates or after towing and hot-weather use.

What does P0776 mean on Nissan?▼
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 Nissan specifically, this code is documented across 2 models.
What causes P0776 on Nissan vehicles?▼
Common causes on Nissan: 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. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P0776 on a Nissan?▼
Repair costs on Nissan range from $250 to $6,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
