P0967 Fault Code

Pressure Control Solenoid B Control Circuit High

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P0967 fault code indicates a problem with the Pressure Control Solenoid B, specifically relating to its control circuit being too high. This solenoid is crucial for regulating the pressure within the transmission, and when its circuit voltage is higher than the expected range, it can lead to erratic shifting or other transmission issues.

• The Pressure Control Solenoid plays a vital role in ensuring that the transmission operates smoothly by managing fluid pressure.
• A high voltage in the control circuit can signal an electrical fault, a short circuit, or a problem with the solenoid itself.
• It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage to the transmission system.

What are the symptoms of the P0967 code?

Common symptoms associated with the P0967 fault code include:

• Erratic or harsh shifting between gears.
• Delay in engagement when shifting from Park to Drive or Reverse.
• Transmission slipping or loss of power during acceleration.
• Illuminated check engine light or other warning indicators on the dashboard.

What causes the P0967 code?

Several factors can contribute to the P0967 fault code:

• Malfunctioning Pressure Control Solenoid B.
• Damaged wiring or poor electrical connections in the solenoid circuit.
• A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) that incorrectly interprets the sensor readings.
• Internal transmission issues that affect pressure regulation.

How to fix P0967?

To resolve the P0967 fault code, consider the following steps:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the Pressure Control Solenoid B for any signs of damage or corrosion.
• Test the solenoid to determine if it is functioning properly; replace it if necessary.
• Check the voltage levels in the circuit to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s specifications.
• If the solenoid and wiring are in good condition, consider evaluating the ECM for possible faults.
