DTC P1780 (3.0L (L81))
To improve shift feel, the transmission control module (TCM) may request that the engine control module (ECM) reduce engine torque during shift events. When such a request is received, the ECM responds by retarding the base ignition timing and notifying the TCM that the request has succeeded. If the ECM is unable to comply with the request, the ECM sends the TCM a message that the request has failed.
The torque reduction request is sent to the ECM through a communication network called the controller area network (CAN). Two circuits are used to communicate CAN data between the ECM and TCM. A fault in the CAN will not cause DTC P1780 to set by itself. If a CAN fault occurs, other DTCs will set before DTC P1780.
When the TCM receives a torque reduction failure message from the ECM, then DTC P1780 will set. DTC P1780 is a type C DTC.
Take your pick of which you think this code is for , this or the TSB - technical service bulletin. What need to hook up scan tool an data PID'S - Do you know what PID'S are ? sensor data read on a scan tool .
