This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
Your car's computer thinks a part that helps change gears is stuck and can't move properly.
The P0767 code indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected that the shift solenoid D is stuck in the 'on' position.
Shift solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid in the valve body, which allows the transmission to change gears. The 'stuck on' condition means that the solenoid is not deactivating as it should, which can cause improper gear shifts.
• Harsh or delayed shifting
• Transmission stuck in one gear
• Check Engine Light illuminated
• Faulty shift solenoid D
• Transmission fluid issues (dirty or low)
• Wiring problems or electrical issues
Solenoid: An electromechanical device that controls the flow of fluid or gas.
Transmission: A system in a vehicle that transmits power from the engine to the wheels.
• Check transmission fluid level and condition
