About P0782

P0782 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0782 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The fault code P0782 is set when the transmission control module (TCM) or the engine control module (ECM) in vehicles with integrated control systems detects a malfunction during the shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. This code signifies that there is an issue within the transmission affecting its ability to smoothly transition from the second to the third gear. Possible causes can include mechanical wear or damage within the transmission, hydraulic control issues, or problems with the electronic control system. Symptoms associated with this fault code typically involve rough or delayed shifting...
