LS1/4L80e swap codes P0740 & P0785
LS1/4L80e swap into 66 impala. Just finished everything up and I'm having problems with my swap showing DTC codes P0740(tcc solenoid) and P0785(3-2 shift solenoid). The transmission was out of a early 90's motorhome with the old style plug so I upgraded the internal harness with a new harness(plug-n-play) and installed an transgo hd-2 kit with a new black pressure solenoid as per instructions of a very good transmission sponsor on here. The kit was easy to install and everything seemed to go smoothly as I don't believe there to be anything wrong there but I suppose thats still a possibility.
When you drive it, PARK-REVERSE-NEUTRAL all seem to work like they should. But when you put it into DRIVE or OVERDRIVE it starts out in 1st gear but shifts very rapidly and bogs the motor to 2nd and so-on to 3rd. I think its going into limp mode when its doing that. Also it never downshifts and seems to favor 2nd gear. When you manually shift it it seems to shift ok but sometimes doesn't go into first and stays in 2nd.
Also one thing we noticed is you can clear the code and turn the key on but it won't trip the code until the car is actually started and running. One mechanic said it should usually trip with the key in the ignition spot.
Yesterday I took it to a mechanic and he says there is power down to the transmission plug and THINKS everything seems to be ohming out and checking out ok. I'm stuck scratching my head and about ready to pull my hair out on this thing... Can anybody give me some good knowledge and what to do or check for to remedy my problem? Thanks in advance...

I was gonna try that cause in my research I remember reading to disable those 2 codes and another one (P1860?) when swapping a 4L80e but didn't know if it was good advice or not. I'll give it a try and report back.

Well Idk if those codes are suppose to be active or not but I think I found the problem. The VSS is reading way too fast. When I drive a true 65mph my pcm says its doing 94. I don't have a spreadsheet or anything like that to know what to switch them too. Does anyone have a spreadsheet for this? Slow67 your help has been greatly appreciated!

And no, those codes shouldn't be active.

Hey guys, ran across this thread while trying to fix a problem with a '99 half ton SBC/4L60 truck. Recent trans rebuild, and immediately after install it went into limp mode and threw P0740 and P0785.
I found some info pointed to the ignition switch. Since the thread is current, I figured I would join and pass along the info I found. I am guessing you swapped an ignition switch also into that Impala.

I hope this helps.
Oh, and since I am a mustang guy.....I should add in my first post on this board that LS1s suck.

I'm having this issue with my swap, 84 K20 4L80 208 t case. Did the repin and added the ISS in trans and OSS pulse generator in T case. Im getting speed feed back prom the ecu through my scanner and it matches the speedo as well as GPS. truck starts in first shifts second to third then stays there doesn't start over in first unless i shut it off. Giving p0740 and p0785 codes. ecu was originally programed for 60 had it segment swapped to 80. i assume the codes weren't disabled.

the p0785 is a 60e specific code. the computer is looking for the 3-2 shift solenoid (which the 80e doesnt have) redo the segment swap. save it as a new file and do a write complete. if it's still doing it, try turning off high-speed writing. ive had some odd issues with this as of late.

1. Do you have to disable those 2 codes before doing the segment swap? If you just uncheck the SES enable for those codes on a tune file that has been 4L80E segment swapped, aren't you good if you simply uncheck them and select "No error reported".
2. Does one do this only for the p0785?
3. Is there a list of codes that are 4L60E specific that I should uncheck for SES and select "No error reported" after doing a 4L80E swap into a car that had the 4L60E?
4. I notice that on the 4L60E tune it has all the same engine DTC's checked as the tune that's been 4L80E segment swapped. The difference in trans diag can be seen in the image below, with the 4L80E segment swap tune on the top which contains the stock settings, and the 4L60E tune on the bottom. I want to use the top values I'm assuming?
