P07FD closes the series 'Incorrect Shift from Gear N' (P07DC–P07E3 for gears 1–8, P07FA for 9): when leaving 10th gear, the transmission ends up in a gear other than the commanded target, or the shift out of 10th goes wrong. No manufacturer document available to us uses it. Ten-speed users such as Ford's 10R family and GM's 10L report such faults through ratio or valve codes; Ford's Diesel summary checks shift completion without a gear-specific code. Possible causes are a sticking shift or clutch valve, a worn or leaking clutch, or wrong adaptives.
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.
