P0767 Shift Solenoid D Stuck On

Drive cycleNot required

A shift solenoid is an electrically switched valve in the valve body; the module checks whether its clutch follows the command by gear ratio, shift time or a pressure switch. P0767 means solenoid D is commanded off but its clutch stays applied. Only Ford documents it, as 'functionally failed on': the low/reverse brake or the 4-5-6 clutch does not release, which brakes or ties up the transmission in higher gears. Ford's 2023 diesel sets it after three release events; the 10R80 bulletins list it with a leaking clutch cylinder. A sticking spool or proportional valve is the usual cause.

Likely causes

Shift spool or proportional valve sticking in the applied position
Clutch not releasing (stuck or burnt)
Solenoid stuck open or leaking
Control wire shorted to ground (permanently powered)

Symptoms

  • Tie-up or jolt on shifts
  • Delayed shifts, engine revs high
  • Limp mode
  • Check engine light
