P0752 Code: Shift Solenoid A Stuck On
🟠 Moderate severity · drivable
Drivable, but shifting may be harsh and some gears may be skipped.
What P0752 means
Shift solenoid A is stuck in the on position when the computer wants it off. This upsets the 1-2 shift timing, so the transmission may skip 2nd gear, shift harshly, or hold the wrong gear. In many cars the computer responds by enabling limp mode.

- Check engine light is on
- Transmission skips 2nd gear
- Harsh or jerky shifts
- Transmission stuck in limp mode
Common causes
- most common: Stuck or faulty shift solenoid A
- common: Low or dirty transmission fluid
- common: Sticking valve in the valve body
- less common: Damaged wiring or connector
