Hello Josh, added more fluid and still the same codes and 1st and 3rd gears only. Thanks

Guys, I need help again. Just replaced the pressure control solenoid and 2-4 Brake solenoid on my transmission which was in limp mode (first and straight into 3rd where in stayed). I took it for a run and it is still doing the same thing, although the codes are now P0748 and P0771. I am low on fluid as I did not have enough. One of the causes on goolgling states "low fluid". I hope this is the issue but any suggestions in the meantime would be welcome as I will be ready tomorrow. Thanks

You're dead on Fairtax4me. The right rear corner of the pan was dented pretty bad, When I took the pan off the solenoid at that corner was damaged, so much that the electrical lug had broken off and the wire was not attached. I measure all selonoid reistance and they all read around 12.2. However the pressure control solenoid is dead. Just googled the prices for these little, tiny thingie bobs, pretty shocked to see they are $260 and $140, WOW!!!! Are these made from platinum or what? Anyone know where I can pick up some cheaply? Thanks

The Check Engine Light is on, ATF flashes continuously when stick is moved into P and the codes are P0748 and P0778. Trans goes from 1st into 3rd and stays there, no response when moved from D to 3rd to 2nd to 1st. Dropping resistor is ok.

I have the check engine light on, ATF flashing all the time once the stick is moved from P and the code on the OBD Scanner are P048 & P0778. Car instantly moves from 1st into 3rd and stays there. No response when stick is shifted form D to 3 to 2 to 1 whilst driving. Help!!!

Can someone help me find the TCM on a 2003 Forester please? Where on the vehicle is it mounted? Thanks Raman

Can someone please tell me a couple of things - 1. Where is the TCM located and 2. which solenoid inside the transmission pan is the line pressure control solenoid. I want to find the problem with my car going into 3rd strainght after moving from 1st and that is where it stays. I have checked the Dropping resistor which is ok. Thanks Raman
