P1790 on Chrysler

Fault logged immediately after a shift (Chrysler, Dodge)

Severity not verified — if the car runs badly, have it inspected

We found no maker document that rates this code, and owner and dealer readouts show it stored beside gear ratio and line pressure codes, so treat it as a sign of a real transmission problem and have it checked.

It gets more serious if:

  • Inspect soon: Have it inspected soon if the transmission slips, shifts harshly, clunks or goes into limp mode, as owners with this code report.
