Brand pages:Ford

Generic (OBD-II) interpretation

P0960
Pressure Control Solenoid A Control Circuit / Open Generic · transmission Data confidence 90%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Pressure Control Solenoid A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • poor connection
  • pressure control solenoid
  • ECM/PCM/TCM

Manufacturer-specific interpretations

Ford

3 interpretations
P0960:11
short to ground Ford · transmission Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P0960:11 (circuit short to ground) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as short to ground. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

P0960:12
short to power Ford · transmission Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P0960:12 (circuit short to battery) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as short to power. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

P0960:13
open circuit Ford · transmission Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P0960:13 (circuit open) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as open circuit. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
  • Check power supplies and grounds
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

Frequently asked questions about P0960

What does P0960 mean?

Diagnostic Trouble Code (3 variants). The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Pressure Control Solenoid A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.

Is P0960 generic or manufacturer-specific?

P0960 exists both as a generic OBD-II code (same meaning on every make) and with 1 manufacturer-specific interpretation(s): Ford. Always read it in the context of your vehicle.

Can TuningBot remove P0960 at file level?

If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
