Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DETERMINING IF RELATED DTCS ARE PRESENT
1. With the scan tool, read transmission DTCs.
  Is the DTC P0841 present also?
  
  Yes
  - Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure(s).
  No
  - Go To 2
CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P1775 IS CURRENT
1. With the scan tool, read transmission DTCs.
  Is the status Active or is the Starts Since Set counter 2 or less for this DTC?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Go To 8
PCM AND WIRING
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Remove the Starter Relay.
  CAUTION:
  Removal of the Starter Relay will prevent the vehicle from being started in gear.
  
  WARNING:
  The Starter Relay must be removed from the PDC. Failure to do so may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
  
  NOTE:
  Failure to remove the Starter Relay can cause a Transmission - No Response condition.
3. Install the (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
4. Ignition on, engine not running.
5. With the Transmission Simulator, turn the Pressure Switch selector switch to L/R.
6. With the scan tool, monitor the L/R Pressure Switch State while pressing the Pressure Switch Test button.
  Did the Pressure Switch state change from open to closed when the test button was pressed?
  
  Yes
  - Remove the valve body in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to VALVE BODY, REMOVAL . Inspect the Solenoid Switch Valve in accordance with the Service Information and repair or replace as necessary. If no problems are found, replace the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly. Refer to ASSEMBLY, TRANSMISSION SOLENOID AND PRESSURE SWITCH, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the (special tool #8333B, Simulator, Transmission) and the Electronic Transmission Adapter kit.
3. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
4. Remove the PCM/TCM relay and with a fused jumper wire, jumper the Transmission Control Output to B(+).
5. Ignition on, engine not running.
6. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check all (T16) Transmission Control Output circuits in the PCM C2 harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Does the test light illuminate brightly on all Transmission Control Relay Output circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit(s) for an open.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK THE (T50) L/R PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

NOTE:
Jumper must still be in place.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. Measure the voltage of the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit.
  Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE (T50) L/R PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit between the PCM C1 harness connector and the Transmission Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit for an open.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 7
CHECK THE (T50) L/R PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (T50) L/R Pressure Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Using the schematics as a guide, check the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. Check for Service Information Tune-ups or Service Bulletins for any possible causes that may apply. If no problems are found, replace and program the PCM in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL . With the scan tool, perform Quick Learn.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS
1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
2. Test drive and verify if the transmission is launching in 2nd gear and/or no TCC engagement.
3. With the scan tool, check the Event Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
  Are there 2nd gear launches and/or no TCC engagement?
  
  Yes
  - Disassemble and inspect the Valve Body in accordance with the Service Information and repair or replace as necessary. If no problems are found in the Valve Body, replace the Transmission Solenoid Pressure Switch Assembly.
  - Perform the TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 40/41 TE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Test Complete.
