P076E: Shift Solenoid H Intermittent

Shift solenoid H exists only on transmissions with eight or more solenoids. Ford's 10R80 ends at F, GM's 9- and 10-speeds report clutch pressure valve codes; the only documented user of the H block is the 2017–18 Genesis G80/G90 with shift-by-wire, where it concerns the on/off solenoid of the park lock rather than a shift valve. P076E is an intermittent fault of solenoid H. No manufacturer document available to us uses it; manufacturers usually count such dropouts within their circuit codes. A loose contact at the transmission connector is the most likely cause.

Medium severity. Can I keep driving?Drive as little as possible and gently. If the transmission slips or stays in one gear, go slowly to a repair shop or call for a tow truck.

Symptoms

Limp mode or jolt at times, then normal again
Warning lamp comes and goes

Most likely causes

Loose contact or corrosion at the transmission connector
Chafed harness, dependent on temperature or vibration
Coil with heat-dependent winding fault

What to check, in order

Start with the simplest. You can tick off each step.

Check the fluid level and condition according to the manufacturer
Gently move the wiring with the engine running and watch whether the reading changes.
Check the transmission connector
Read the data with a transmission-compatible scanner
Measure the solenoid valve circuit
Leave opening the transmission to a specialized repair shop

Good to know

Repair difficulty: medium
It can trigger limp mode.
It affects emissions.
