P0760 — Shift solenoid C — malfunction
Reference detail for fault code P0760 on the 0D5 transmission.
What P0760 indicates
The 0D5 transmission control unit stores P0760 when it detects the following condition: Shift solenoid C — malfunction. The fault is electrical: the control unit monitors the current and resistance of each solenoid and pressure control valve, and stores the code when it detects an open circuit, a short circuit or a control current outside the expected range. A stored code does not by itself prove that a part has failed. Before replacing anything, check the live data, wiring, connectors, power supply and fluid condition, and confirm the fault on the vehicle.
Symptoms

- Some gears unavailable
- Emergency mode, often with only certain gears
- Transmission warning light
Possible causes
- Faulty solenoid or pressure control valve coil
- Damaged internal wiring or connector in the mechatronic unit
- Fault in the valve driver stage of the control electronics
- Contaminated transmission fluid affecting valve operation
