P0772 Peugeot Shift Solenoid E Stuck On

Possible causes

– Low transmission fluid level
– Dirty transmission fluid
– Faulty shift solenoid ‘E’ valve
– Shift solenoid ‘E’ valve harness is open or shorted
– Shift solenoid ‘E’ valve circuit poor electrical connection

Tech description

When the a transmission solenoid is stuck on, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is very dirty, it is recommend changing the transmission fluid and if possible removing the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a transmission mechanical failure and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.

What about the obd code?

The P0772 Peugeot code is detected when the gear required by the ECM does not match the actual gear when vehicle is driven.

Symptoms

– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

P0772 Peugeot Description

Shift solenoid valve ‘E’ is turned ON or OFF by the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the park/neutral position (PNP) switch, vehicle speed and Engine Control Module (ECM) (throttle opening). Gears will then be shifted to the optimum position.
