Po1762 what does code mean

we can not answer what you can do or fix.
only how to diagnose, or is this just a please guess for me post?
got tools, got a real scan tool?
is this a 5 buck code reader that misses most codes.
or a real one (ask for good tools)
if a real tool, it will show all codes, and you must know them all
or go astray. P0841? present? too>?

42RLE box.::: one code only, my guess.

i have this car, (m/t) and full FSM, on it,
Ill decode this and tell you what page to read in the FSM
it shows what to do next and the tests to prove this out.
P= power train
P1 means factory code ( so dont read ford codes)
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE LATCHED IN TCC POSITION
TCC means torque converter clutch. lock up device. failure.
that means transmission, (id didnt say its bad)
the transmission on your car is automatic, unlike my stick
it has a TCM brain, hidden in the PCM brain
but its real and there. for sure. inside.
and it shifts for you, this brain,. in DRIVE

here is the 1st page on this code. in fsm book.

The Solenoid Switch Valve, an internal, hydraulically operated valve, controls the direction of the transmission
fluid when the LR solenoid is energized. When the solenoid switch valve is in the downshifted position and the
LR solenoid is energized, fluid is directed to the LR element for 1st gear. When the solenoid switch valve is In
the up-shifted position (2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear) and the LR solenoid is energized, fluid is directed into the
Lockup Switch Valve which controls the Torque Converter Clutch. When shifting into 1st gear, a special
sequence is followed to insure solenoid switch valve movement into the downshifted position. The LR pressure
switch is monitored to confirm switch valve movement. If the solenoid switch valve movement is not confirmed
(i.e. no LR pressure when the LR solenoid is energized), 2nd gear is substituted for 1st. No 1st gear (2nd gear is
substituted). The transmission Torque converter FEMCC operation is inhibited. MIL on after 5 min. of
substituted operation.
Monitor Conditions
When Monitored:
Prior to a shift into 1st gear.
possible causes:
RELATED DTC P0841 PRESENT?
(T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
(T50) L/R PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT OPEN
(T50) L/R PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
(T50) L/R PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

the book says have the dealer
do a full transmission check using there (unique) fancy tool..
seems to be good advice.

below is the interface tcm.<> box.
solenoid and read back switches.
if the trans is not bad, then this switch is bad (fibbing)
or the wires rusty there... re-seat them yet?

automatic transmission, right?
dont shift , impliese but fails to say, by whom.???
on mine a 5speed manual stick, it can't shift by many a way.
ill take a wild guess and its an A/T
Don't shift.

ok, now I scratched head, do you mean
it stuck in 1st gear.
or did you mean its slipping , and feels like in neutral at all times.
or skips gears?

during these early transitional years, they had 2 transmissions
the newer one is electrically shifted.
and going farther we need to know what trans is really truely there.
we are blind here and cant see what you have.
if your car is a TCM shifted tranny (TCM is tranny brain,puter)
it has scan codes. so dump the tcm error codes.

or log into alldata.com and read the TCM page.
its not a secret , all metro FSM cover this.
fsm means , the Factory service manual. get one.
or log in.

could be losing line pressure inside the transmission , or the pressure solenoid could have fail or the shift solenoids failed. take it back to where they repaired the transmission cause there is something very wrong good luck.

TPS SENSOR.
IT CONTROLS SHIFTING AT THE RIGHT TIME
AND COULD ALSO CAUSE ALL OF THE SYNMTHOMS
THAT YOU HAVE LISTED SOMETIMES WITH OUT GIVING YOU A CODE GOOD LUCK

Hi James, The gear changes on modern vehicles is often controlled by speed sensors mounted onto each wheel. The sensors also control the ABS, traction control and activate the speedo. Have a diagnostic scan carried out and determine if the sensors are all in working condition. Regards John

Is your code reader capable of reading U, C, and B codes? The speedometer doesn't get it's speed reading from the wheel sensors. It gets it from the transmission. Not shifting past 2nd gear means your transmission is in "limp in" mode. It prevents shifting to avoid further damage. I see a transmission repair shop in your future.

If you push the clutch in & slowly shift through all gears
in every combination & they don't go smoothly,then
the trans has to come out & be repaired

You do that with the engine turned off

The mechanic should check on the gears form N, R, P, 1st gear, second, third gear of the transmission . you also have to check the oil seals of the gears of the transmission.Don't forget to check also the shift level and the shift fork of the transmission.check the said gears ,the shift fork ,the shift level and the oil seals if they are worn out or destroyed you should replace them.Most of the time if the engine spudders when changing in gears it means that there is a problem in the oil seals of the transmission gears . Don't forget to check also the transmission bearing to be sure. Because it is spuddering .

Had a similar problem with same model pickup but would shift into third only after reaching high RPM in second @5000. There was TSB that came out about this a few years ago. I had to replace the valve body in the transmission to fix the problem and worked perfectly after that. Hope this helps!

The 1st thing to do is have a test run on the transmission control module to see if any trouble codes are present, next have you ever serviced the transmission, fluid and filter change, should be done at 60,000 miles, on occasion this can cure problems like yours.
