DTC P0781-00: 1-2 Shift [10/2017 - 09/2019]: Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 350, 2024 Lexus IS 300, 2023 Lexus IS 350, 2023 Lexus IS 300, and 2022 Lexus IS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK IF OTHER DTCS OUTPUT 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Trouble Codes.

      Powertrain > Transmission > Trouble Codes 

    5. Read the DTCs using the Techstream.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Only DTC P0781-00 is output A
      P0781-00 and other DTCs are output B

      HINT: 

      If any DTCs other than P0781-00 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [10/2017 - 09/2018]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [09/2018 - 09/2019] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    WARNING:

    This test should always be performed with at least 2 people.

    NOTE:
    • Perform the test while the ATF temperature is between 50 and 80°C (122 and 176°F).
    • Perform the test with the air conditioning off.

    HINT: 

    Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test.
    7. According to the display on the Techstream, perform the "Active Test".

      HINT: 

      While driving, the shift position can be forcibly changed with the Techstream. Comparing the shift position commanded by the Active Test with the actual shift position enables you to confirm the problem.

      Refer to FAIL-SAFE CHART [10/2017 - ]

      HINT: 

      • This test can be conducted when the vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less.
      • The 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th up-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
      • The 6th to 5th and 5th to 4th down-shifts must be performed with the accelerator pedal released.
      • Do not operate the accelerator pedal for at least 2 seconds after shifting and do not shift successively.
      • The shift position commanded by the ECM is shown in the Data List (Shift Status) display on the Techstream.
      • Gear positions in the event of a shift solenoid valve mechanical problem:

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM 
    NOTE:
    • Perform the test at the normal operating ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) temperature: 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F)
    • Be careful to prevent the SST hose from interfering with the exhaust pipe.
    • This check must be conducted after checking and confirming that the engine is normal.
    • Perform the test with the air conditioning off.

    HINT: 

    Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Lift the vehicle up.
    3. Remove the test plug from the transmission case and connect SST.
