Dodge Intrepid 2004 - P0700 P1776

But wouldn't the trouble happen no matter if it was cold or hot? The car/trans runs like a gem when the car is cold and when it runs a normal operating temp. It's just the inbetween when the car has the trouble. And it only lasts for say 15-30minutes during the warm up period.

I came across this, sounds like I should follow this;

DISCUSSION:
If the vehicle operator describes a MIL illumination and the technician finds DTC P1776
Solenoid Switch Valve Latched in LR Position is set the DRBIII� can be used to access
the event data screen and look at the “TRS Code” reading.
NOTE: The solenoid switch valve is not in the solenoid pack it is in the valve body.
TRS Code Reads TR2
If the “TRS Code” displays “TR2” it is an indication that the manual valve was not fully in
the OD position at the time the DTC was set. Check the shifter cable adjustment and
adjust if necessary. Also check the shift control system for excessive friction and/or routing
issues.
TRS Code Reads OD
If the “TRS Code” displays “OD” then a sticky solenoid switch valve is the primary cause.
Perform the proper diagnosis for the valve body. Inspect for foreign material in the solenoid
switch valve and plugs.
**FOR 2002 - 2004 LH MODEL ONLY**
**If replacing the valve body assembly for DTC P1776 Solenoid Switch Valve Latched in
LR Position first inspect the build date on the solenoid pack (Fig. 1) or (Fig. 2). If the build
date range falls in between 3001 and 0603 replace the solenoid pack not the valve body**.

P.S. Do you know if I can see the Fig. 1 and Fig 2. Anywhere?

Hey Docfixit,

You said earlier - "common is piston seal leak in L/R accumulator". Where is this located? In the Solenoid Pak or Valve Body?
