P0778 DODGE Possible Causes
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty Shift Pressure Solenoid valve
- Shift Pressure Solenoid valve harness is open or shorted
- Shift Pressure Solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection
How do I fix code P0778 DODGE?
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.
Tech Notes
- When a transmission solenoid is malfunctioned, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is dirty, it’s recommended to change the transmission fluid and if possible removing the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a mechanical transmission failure and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.
Cost of diagnosing the P0778 DODGE code
The cost of diagnosing the P0778 DODGE code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
When is the code detected
The TCM has detected voltage on the shift pressure solenoid during a period when the solenoid is not active
Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Transmission shift shock
P0778 DODGE Description
The shift pressure solenoid valve regulates the oil pump discharge pressure to suit the driving condition in response to a signal sent from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
