My car, has a p0796 code and it's saying its a issue with the pressure control solenoid c. I haven't been able to find it online and I'm not sure where its located on the transmission.

So the first thing you want to do is check the transmission fluid level. If okay, this can mean the transmission to toast, especially if the fluid is burnt.

P0796 - Pressure Control Solenoid “C” Performance/Stuck-Off

TCM/PCM isn’t seeing the expected line pressure change when it commands solenoid C.

So, this can be because the Pressure Control Solenoid is not working.

NOTE: The CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve is built into the linear solenoid valve body. The linear solenoid valve body and the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve are not available separately. Replace the CVT driven pulley pressure control solenoid valve and the linear solenoid valve body as an assembly. Please let me know how it goes. Ken
