My check engine light came on tonight so I went down to checkers and used their diagonisc tool and it came up with the code P1780. What code is that??
I have a 98 4cyl, automatic camry

P1780= Park/Neutral Switch.

I would think you will need to replace the switch before it goes out and causes your car not to start at all. It is a safety switch so your car has to be in Park or Neutral before it will turn over.

anyone know what the price would be to replace it?

Do you plan on doing it yourself?

probable not it's to cold and snowy outside.

Check the connector and the cable. The cable may be loose or stretched and causing a false reading. It's supposed to be checked periodically and adjusted.

Might just be a " Bogus " code.

Clear it. See if it comes back. Your not having any starting issues are you?
