P1765 Code failures by brands

P1765 LEXUS, TOYOTA: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRESSURE CONTROL SHIFT SOLENOID

Description of DTC code P1765

Transmission pressure control shift solenoids are responsible for controlling fluid pressure to the internal friction plate clutches or drum bands. Transmission pressure is an extremely important factor in the proper operation of the transmission since, without sufficient pressure, shifting could not be performed correctly.

When the P1765 OBDII diagnostic code is set on Toyota or Lexus vehicles, it is because the transmission pressure control shift solenoid has experienced erratic operation.
