DTC P1780: TRANSAXLE CONTROLLED SPARK ADVANCE

Diagnostic Aids

Code will set when Engine Control Module (ECM) detects open or short in transmission controlled spark advance circuit. Monitor runs continuously. No Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illumination.

Check for:

Open, short to power or short to ground in Red/Brown wire between ECM and Transaxle Control Module (TCM).

Procedure
1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM 88-pin connector and TCM 88-pin connector. Measure resistance of Red/Brown wire between ECM connector terminal No. 85 and TCM connector terminal No. 51. See Fig. 6 . If resistance is less than one ohm, go to next step. If resistance is one ohm or more, repair open in Red/Brown wire between ECM and TCM.

2. Check for continuity between ground and ECM connector terminal No. 85 (Red/Brown wire). If continuity does not exist, go to next step. If continuity exists, repair short to ground in Red/Brown wire between ECM and TCM.

3. Turn ignition on. Check for voltage between ground and ECM connector terminal No. 85 (Red/Brown wire). If voltage exists, repair short to power in Red/Brown wire between ECM and TCM. If voltage does not exist, check connectors for loose, damaged or corroded terminals. If problem exists, repair appropriate connector.
