I too have a check engine light that constantly comes on, and when you take it to the shop it says that nothing is wrong.

i will drive 25 to 65 miles and check engine light comes on.When the code is checked it comes up with different transmission codes the code that came up was P1780.the car starts and drives fine,starts in neutral and park fine.I can't get it inspected until this is resolved and i am not planning on replacing modules and sensor when it could be as simple as an update.a answer from an authority on the matter would be appreciated asap.thank you
