Code P0780 Honda Description

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the transmission mechanical shifting through various sensors. This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve operation, etc. The P0780 code is detected when no rotation change occurs between the input (turbine revolution sensor) and output (revolution sensor), and the shifting time is long or when shifting ends immediately or when the engine revs up unusually during shifting.
