p1780 code indicates a problem in the transmission or the communication lines between the body control module and the engine control module...If the transmission had a true fault of this type in it, it would not cause the engine to shut down.
The most likely cause is that there was a glitch. Unfortunately this will be a reoccurring problem until it is fixed. If the engine check light starts to flash that means it is in limp mode and you will probably only be running about 10 miles per hour. I would say take it to Saturn dealer unfortunately they no longer exist. Best thing to do is have a transmission shop check it out. Or automotive shop sorry I don't have better news.

It's a long 7-10 hour job.
Have to remove the dashboard
then remove hoses to heater core
then remove wires going to heater core circuit board
then remove heater core
replace it and put everything back together without messing anything under your dashboard.
Mechanics charge between $700 to $1000 to replace one.
If the core is not leaking (wet passenger side floor) you may want to try a reverse flush before touching anything, remove the 2 hoses in the engine compartment at the firewall leading to the heater core and with a garden hose flood the heater core connector until it the water is clear then do the other connector.
If that don't work and your not sure you can do the replacement correctly don't do it.

Code 113 means the signal from the intake air temp sensor is higher than normal. The sensor is telling the computer the intake air is above 200 degrees. Could be a faulty sensor or wiring problem.
It always seems that answers to Saturn L problems often derive wildly different solutions, and my GM dealer has performed extensive electrical work to the wiring harness & replaced the fuse block and after I paid the $751. It turned out all the front lighting was totally out of whack and they expect more $ to get that right! It seems to me that they recommended the work and now expect a blank check and keep finding more issues to charge me for. They even suggest that they replace the BCM... Please BEWARE of Ed Rikne GM in Center Line MI. There very HUNGRY for the $$$!
OK Check the voltage coming out of the alternator while it's running you should have at least 13-14.7 volts and no less than 13 volts and no more than 15 volts.Also check your alternator belt for slipage.
you may have had an electrical problem all along and now you've added Freon on top of a full charge which isn't good. put the gauges on both the high and low side. and see if you are charged or low or overcharged. the compressor can go out on high pressure or go out on low pressure. I am not sure which you have. thwere are relays that come into play when the charge is high enough to satisfy the low pressure switch. the relay is in the power distribution box under the hood. there is also a fuse under dash for the ac
THE LOW PRESSURE LINE IS THE LARGER DIAMETER LINE OF THE TWO AC LINES. IT IS THE LINE (SUCTION) THAT ENTERS THE CABIN AT THE FIREWALL SOMEWHERE ON THAT LINE IS THE CHARGING PORT
disconnecting the battery does not matter. No power goes to the pump until the ignition is turned on. If your fuel gauge is working the float is OK. there is no float in the pump.
