P0750 on Honda by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
P0700 on the CR-V is a generic flag the TCM raises to light the check-engine lamp; it is almost always stored alongside a more specific transmission code (commonly P0740/P0730/P0780/P0750). On the automatic CR-V the frequent underlying cause is a failing shift solenoid or lock-up solenoid valve assembly (and, on higher-mileage or fluid-neglected units, valve-body or internal wear). When it trips, the CR-V typically drops into limp mode — locked in one gear (often 2nd/3rd) — and older 4-speed/5-speed models flash the D4 indicator. This most commonly affects the earlier automatic CR-Vs (Gen2 2002-2006 and Gen3 2007-2011) whose Honda 4-/5-speed automatics are sensitive to fluid condition and solenoid wear.
Common Symptoms
- Check-engine light with transmission warning
- Harsh, delayed, or erratic shifting
- Transmission stuck in one gear (limp mode)
- Flashing D4 indicator on the dash
- Reduced power / won't shift up
How to Fix
Do not just clear P0700 — pull the companion transmission code that specifies the fault. Check ATF level and condition first; top off or replace with genuine Honda ATF (DW-1) if burnt. Test and replace the indicated shift/lock-up solenoid assembly, and inspect TCM wiring/connectors for corrosion. If a companion code and testing point to the valve body or internal failure, that repair or a transmission rebuild is required.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0750 mean on a Honda?
P0750 stands for "Shift Solenoid A Malfunction." This code indicates the transmission control system detected a malfunction in shift solenoid 'A', one of the electrically operated valves that direct hydraulic fluid to engage gears. The computer commands these solenoids to control upshifts and downshifts, and it monitors their circuits and the resulting gear changes. When solenoid A doesn't respond electrically as expected — or the resulting shift doesn't happen correctly — this code is set. You may notice harsh, delayed, or missing shifts, or the transmission may enter a fail-safe (limp) mode. On Honda it is documented across 1 model: CR-V.
What are the most common causes of P0750?
The most common causes of P0750 are: Failed or stuck shift solenoid A, Open, shorted, or chafed solenoid wiring, Corroded or loose transmission connector, Low, dirty, or degraded transmission fluid, Clogged solenoid or valve body passages, Internal valve body or hydraulic fault, Faulty transmission control module (TCM). The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P0750 on a Honda?
Published repair estimates on Honda range from $300 to $3,500 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
