What is the fix for 1996 ford contour gl with a p0780 error?

The P0780 error code on a 1996 Ford Contour GL indicates a transmission control system malfunction. To fix this issue, first, check the Transmission Fluid level and condition, as low or dirty fluid can cause shifting problems. If the fluid is fine, inspect the transmission fluid pump, solenoids, and wiring for any damage or faults. If these components appear to be in good condition, a more in-depth diagnosis of the transmission control module (TCM) may be necessary, potentially requiring professional assistance.
