1 vehicles · 1 makes · $600-$1,400 repair
Most Reported On
P1780 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Transmission Control Switch (O/D Cancel) Circuit Out of Self-Test Range.” This manufacturer-specific code (Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury) means the computer did not see the expected change of state from the Transmission Control Switch (the Overdrive Off / O-D Cancel or Tow-Haul button) during its self-test. That switch tells the transmission whether to allow overdrive, and if its signal is stuck or the wiring is faulty, the PCM/TCM flags it. You may notice the overdrive light flashing or the transmission not engaging or canceling overdrive properly. It is usually a switch or wiring problem rather than internal transmission damage. This code is most commonly reported on 2000-2004 Toyota Corolla, with repair costs ranging from $600 to $1,400.
