Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect the battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before opening the transmission system.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Erratic shifting or failure to shift gears
  • •Transmission stuck in one gear
  • •Increased engine RPMs without corresponding vehicle speed
  • •Poor acceleration or power loss

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system using an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P0750 code.
  2. 2Inspect the transmission range sensor wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
  3. 3Check the transmission fluid level and condition; low or contaminated fluid can cause shifting issues.
  4. 4Test the resistance of the transmission range sensor using a multimeter to ensure it is within specifications.
  5. 5Verify that the transmission control module (TCM) is functioning properly and receiving signal inputs correctly.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
  • Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical shorts.
  • Allow the vehicle to cool if the engine has been running.

2. Inspect and Repair Wiring

  • Tools Required: Electrical tape, wire connectors, multimeter.
  • Inspect the wiring harness connected to the transmission range sensor.
    • Look for frayed wires, loose connections, or corrosion.
    • Repair any damaged wiring by splicing in new wire or using electrical connectors.
  • Secure any loose connections with electrical tape or zip ties.

3. Replace the Transmission Range Sensor

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
  • Locate the transmission range sensor on the transmission.
  • Sub-steps:
    1. Remove the mounting bolts securing the sensor.
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
    3. Install the new transmission range sensor by reversing the removal process.
    4. Torque the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically 8-10 ft-lbs).

4. Refill Transmission Fluid (if necessary)

  • Tools Required: Transmission fluid pump, funnel.
  • If the fluid level was low, refill with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid.
  • Check for leaks around the sensor and the transmission pan.

5. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes

  • Reconnect the battery terminals.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear any fault codes from the system.
  • Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
