This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
Your car's computer thinks that one of the parts that helps change gears is stuck and won't turn off. It's like a light switch that is stuck in the 'on' position.
The transmission shift solenoid A is stuck in the 'on' position, causing improper shifting.
The P0752 code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected that the shift solenoid 'A' is stuck in the 'on' position. This solenoid is responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid to change gears. When it's stuck, it can cause the transmission to not shift properly.
• Transmission slipping
• Harsh or delayed shifting
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor fuel economy
• Transmission stuck in one gear
• Faulty shift solenoid A
• Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid
• Wiring issues or short in the shift solenoid circuit
• Transmission mechanical failure
• Faulty PCM
PCM: Powertrain Control Module, the computer responsible for engine and transmission management.
Shift Solenoid: An electromechanical device that controls the flow of transmission fluid to change gears.
• Check the transmission fluid level and condition.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors to the shift solenoid.
• Test the shift solenoid for proper operation.
• Scan for additional codes and perform a visual inspection.
• Check the PCM for faults.
• Replace the faulty shift solenoid A.
• Flush and replace the transmission fluid.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace or repair the transmission if mechanical failure is found.
• Reprogram or replace the PCM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner

Moderate
• Honda Accord
• Toyota Camry
• Ford F-150
• Regularly check and maintain transmission fluid levels.
• Perform scheduled transmission service.
• Avoid aggressive driving habits.
Transmission Control Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic.
• Avoid driving the vehicle if transmission issues are severe.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty coverage related to transmission components.
P0752 has been a common code associated with automatic transmission issues, particularly in vehicles with higher mileage or poor maintenance history.
Moderate – It is advisable to address this issue promptly to avoid further transmission damage.
Driving with a malfunctioning transmission can be dangerous. Ensure repairs are done by a qualified professional.
• Vehicle at operating temperature
• Vehicle in drive mode
The shift solenoid A is located inside the transmission, typically accessible by removing the transmission pan.
Q: Can I drive my car with a P0752 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active, as it can lead to further transmission damage.
Q: How can I prevent a P0752 code?
A: Regular maintenance of the transmission fluid and avoiding harsh driving can help prevent this issue.
