Some vehicles may experience the check engine light and automatic transaxle warning light ON with one or more of these DTCs stored in the TCM memory (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738).
P0842:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 1 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on
P0847:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 2 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on
P0872:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 3 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on
P0877:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 4 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on
P0780:00 - Gear shifting malfunction
P1738:00 - Automatic transaxle internal malfunction
This is caused by the oil pressure switch A and/or B at the control valve body temporarily or permanently getting stuck due to contamination entering the passage. To correct the problem, some mass production changes have been implemented to reduce contamination and improve the DTC diagnostic logic. NOTE: If the vehicle also has a delayed engagement concern, this TSB is not applicable. Refer to the instructions on MGSS (SLOW ENGAGING AFTER OPERATING SELECTOR LEVER FROM N TO D POSITION [FW6A-EL/FW6AX-EL]) or (SLOW ENGAGING AFTER OPERATING SELECTOR LEVER FROM N TO D POSITION [EW6A-EL/EW6AX-EL]) for proper diagnosis and repair procedure.
