P2787Clutch A Temperature Too High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2787 means the controller has calculated or measured a temperature for clutch A above its permitted limit. Two quite different uses are documented. Stellantis bulletin 21-040-26 lists P2787-00 as clutch 1 overtemperature for 2022-2025 European Jeep Renegade and Compass with the 1.5 litre mild hybrid and the 7HDT300 dual-clutch gearbox; the MIL is on, P27F3 for clutch 2 and actuator motor phase faults may appear too, and particles blocking an actuator pump are named as the cause. Mercedes-Benz bulletin LI33.30-N-080795 for the Sprinter 907 with on-demand all-wheel drive shows P27874B in the transfer case unit N15: a failed front differential lets the coupling slip and overheat, and all-wheel drive is switched off. Clutch B has its own code, P27F3.
- What you may notice
- Overheating message, odd gears or all-wheel drive unavailable
- MIL or transmission warning lamp on
- Shudder or slipping when pulling away
- Likely causes
- LikelyClutch slipping because its actuator or actuator pump does not deliver full force
- PossibleOn all-wheel-drive couplings, damaged front differential forcing constant slip
- PossibleRepeated launches, creeping or towing with high clutch slip
- PossibleWorn friction lining reducing torque capacity
