Toyota Prado 26/62 Code Only Moves in Drive With High RPM

When you receive the 26/62 combination, it indicates there is a problem with the shift solenoids for starters.

In the Prado, there are three shift solenoids that must be replaced. You will have to drain the transmission so that you can locate them. One of the shift solenoids is located on the tranmission’s valve body while the other two should be located on the inside. Because of the interior location, you needed to drain the tranny.

I’d suggest, at this point, obtaining the service manual for your Prado’s automatic transmission because you will be able to identify the spot each solenoid resides in.

The 26/62 error code also could mean there’s a problem with the valve body for which you will need to inspect the valve body closely. You are in luck, though, because you already have it open to replace the solenoids.

The same error combination could indicate there may be a problem with the torque converter. Since the converter is central to the transmission’s proper operation, I think you should be thinking of installing a rebuilt transmission. I know you don’t want to hear this, but, you’ll save yourself a lot of trouble, many piles of headaches and, in the long run, your transmission will work correctly pretty much from the get=go. The work, brace yourself, will cost about $4,000.
