Diagnostic Procedure
- Determine if DTCs P0761, P0763 or P0764 are present. These flags must be eliminated first as a possible cause for DTC P0782.
- Check actuator operation. See ACTUATOR QUICK CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Operation sound of all actuators should be similar.
- Air check 3rd clutch operation. See TRANSMISSION SERVICING - A/T article in AUTOMATIC TRANS SERVICE section. Repair as needed. If clutch air checks okay, disassembly of transaxle will be necessary to inspect internal components.
- Cross-channel leaks may cause 3rd gear to be applied all the time. If DTC P0782 is present and no reverse is possible, check for damaged end cover input hub seals.
- If clutch applies and releases, check valve body. If clutch does not operate okay, check for damaged end cover or other internal problem.
