Hello,
The most common cause of the P0842 code is a faulty electronic pressure control solenoid. Other causes can include:
Dirty, contaminated, or low transmission fluid.
Blocked transmission fluid passages.
Mechanical internal transmission failures.
A faulty PCM or TCM, in very rare cases.
The P0742 code can be caused by a variety of things. The following are the most common:
Dirty transmission fluid.
Low transmission fluid.
Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve.
Internal mechanical problem with the transmission.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness or connectors could be bad.
Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit could be shorted or open.
As both codes share low or dirty transmission oil as a common cause I would suggest first carrying out a transmission oil change.
