1996 Ford Taurus Malfunction - Drive Train & Driveline
Question: 3.0 Engine - auto
DTC - P0760 Shift solenoid "C"
drives OK except stays at about 3000 RPM on the freeway - used to be 2200 at about the same speed
Where is the solenoid and
can I test it (how?) and
can a semi functional mechanic change it out,
if not what should it cost to get it fixed.
Thanks

Technican: P0760 Shift Solenoid 3/C Circuit Malfunction Possible Causes
* SS3/C solenoid control circuit open or shorted to ground
* SS3/C solenoid wiring harness connector damaged
* SS3/C solenoid is damaged or has failed
* PCM has failed
Look for disconnected, poorly connected wiring harness. The solenoid gets it power on the red wire on pin #2. It also supplies power to 2 other solenoids. (If no other codes are set, the power supply should be fine). The solenoid is grounded by the computer on the pink/black wire on pin 8. With the connector disconnected, use an ohm meter to compare resistance from pin 2 to 1, 6, 8. All should be very nearly alike. If #8 is out of spec, replace that solenoid. It should take about 3 hours to replace it, some fluid and a gasket. (I will email more detail for you tomorrow from work) A shop should charge about $300 for the job.
Technican: Here is the shop manual information about how to reache these solenoids for replacement.
1. Remove air cleaner assembly.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable and positive battery cable.
3. Remove battery and battery tray.
4. Disconnect transmission range sensor and transaxle harness electrical connectors and reposition engine wire harness.
5. Place TR sensor manual lever in PARK position.
6. Install Three Bar Engine Support and support engine assembly.
7. Remove the retaining nut from the insulator and raise the engine off the insulator.
8. Remove main control cover upper retaining bolts.
9. Raise and suitably support vehicle on hoist.
10. Remove LH front wheel tire and wheel assembly.
11. Remove LH front fender splash shield.
12. Remove LH engine support and insulator.
13. Position drain pan under transaxle main control cover and remove remaining lower transaxle main control court bolts and remove transaxle main control court and gasket.
14. Disconnect transmission fluid temperature sensor from main control valve body and solenoid electrical connectors.
15. Replace shift solenoids as needed. Here's How To Get Guaranteed Solutions In Minutes
