Many thanks!

[@jakemason9436]

Once again. David. An excellent teacher. Thanks.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great work David

[@JBlinky67]

Great worksheet. I used it to check all the solenoids. All ohm readings check fine, but I'm still getting P1745. So I guess I'll change the pressure sensor and do a fluid and filter change before I pull the pak out.

[@chuckhall5347]

Did the sensor work and fluid change work?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice chart david

[@mojo1965]

Would you say that the solenoid pack causes a majority of P0760 codes coming up? Or would it be mix of PCM or solenoids that cause that code from coming up?

[@promastersonly1419]

Hi David. Been using this video for YEARS. Just noticed the chart doesn't show the TCC solenoid, which is pin 3 and should be 4.9 ohm. Helpful for diagnosing the dreaded P0740, which in my experience seems to usually be the converter itself, supported by if the fluid has clutch material in it.

[@adamrichmond495]

Mime has 6.0 reading would that be bad

[@promastersonly1419]

@@adamrichmond495 assuming the code is associated with the function of the pin you are reading, ranges outside the given values would make you suspect that solenoid.

[@JamesErd]

I tested my solenoid pack everything came up normal except for signal pins 11, 14, 15, 16, 18 which should have been 300 Ohms all came up as open lines. This is a pretty strong signal that my solenoid pack is bad however my concern is those pins going bad may have been caused by a problem elsewhere in the system. I'm interested what may have caused to problem and rectifying it before plugging in a good solenoid pack and having it suffer the same fate

[@billrimmer5596]

Very nice!! Appreciate the direction.

[@bahramsedighi]

Hi, thank you so much for your videos. my car dodge grand caravan 2016 with 62te transmission worked well without any problem , since 3 days ago, the weather of Toronto was very hot ( near 38 C") and after 30 minutes driving ( especially around noon) there is kicking problem with it. i am wondering if you can help in diagnosing the problem. appreciate in advance

[@jimkillen1065]

I appreciate the videos and time . I don't want automatic transmission in my cars or trucks how ever I like power shift equipment. I heard that a transmission shifted properly till it warmed up and the root cause was the solenoid pack . I been trying to help a friend who's transmission has been going into limt mode ,

[@harveyadams5453]

Nice video I worked for Chrysler for 11 years and I do remember the Miller transmission simulator sorry to hear that they don't make it anymore in my opinion it was the best way to troubleshoot a transmission . Also glad that you mentioned that doing the test that you are performing does not necessarily mean you going to find the problem because like you said. A solenoid a coil excetera excetera could test good when is actually bad... I also had the terminal test set I had one that was made by Miller somebody stole it now I have the one made by AES wave and one made by electronic specialties keep making the videos and I respect you

[@malibuStroker]

The AES wave terminal kit is phenomenal, kinda pricey but well worth the money.

[@encswsm]

Can you disassemble a new solenoid pack and put the new parts into the existing solenoid pack body?

[@MyGoogleYoutube]

Since you have a few solenoid packs have you tried swapping individual solenoids to make one good solenoid pack?

[@johnrisher1441]

I really like how you break everything down. My only concern is that my numbers are coming out higher than what on your sheet on all by at least .3-.4 ohms I’m getting 2.1 and 2.2 ohms on all solenoids and 5.7 ohms on the line pressure solenoid

[@fishinwithhomer]

Nevermind, I printed from computer. Thanks for the diagram 🙏🏼

[@jwaynediaz]

Hi David! You explain very well, I would like you to make video about how to change the shift solenoid and transmission fluid pressure sensor and how to do your tests.

Good understanding very clear seminars keep more stuff coming .

[@gregmosk]

Thank you David 👍👍. The kit may pay for itself if the solenoid is faulty. Hope I do not need to do this 🙂

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Hope you dont either. Thanks for watching.

[@arielnunezpinon4450]

They were the peeling stretch marks on the converter, change the oil pump, converter and filter. but.... now it only goes in reverse, and I have the active code P0871 that you recommend. thank you so much

[@jesusleyva2667]

Nice video and thanks for your checklist which helped me to check the defective solenoid (Solenoid LC) in my T&C 2008.

[@mikemackinnon2826]

I have a 2020 Dodge van with a P0740 from an auction and it has a Dodge reman transmission. So I suspect it is likely a misdiagnosis and then sent to the auction. Curious if there is a check for pin 3 the EMCC control circuit.

[@petersherrouse33]

Oh, GREAT material your putting up :-)

[@markarvinflores229]

Great info and video pike

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Appreciate it my brother!

[@RD_Forever_1987]

Referring to your video. 10:45-10:50...I did the test and all solenoids "ohmed" out fine...but since this isn't conclusively telling me the solenoids are working, is there a way to stimulate the solenoids individually (with the pack in or out of the car) to further test them? Like apply voltage and listen for a "click" or something...? Obviously just trying to do whatever I can to avoid removing and replacing the pack unnecessarily. Thanks. (2015 Chrysler T&C; 62TE; New TC & Flex plate, TCCvalve, Line pressure sensor, Pump, filter...trans shifts & works great except for intermittent stalls at idle when placing in D or R and P. Original issue was a damaged TC. I removed the trans, set up a DIY flush rig with trans out of car and flushed trans and cooler (separately)...installated all new parts, ran for a few miles, then changed fluid again, and changed the TCC Valve again...then did your pack test in the car...now what!!!???) I puchased a pigtail electrical plug and used that to easily conduct the ohm test you described...it made it relatively easy with the trans & pack in the car. Like this: www.amazon.com/NOVAPARTS-Connector-External-Solenoid-05019917AA/dp/B0B1MKDRX5/ref=sr_1_2?crid=19PELF4QCZJI7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.s8JhFVO7jWK50PP2OAy5ksiPHltThc9W7E_3uhiMyvPiyDN4-0apQxGB8dS8mrKnQhtPu5I2sX-m3TfSHigqY4hVuJvW8LhrIEgr_2rW-QnQMIGl0X5vNFdBVNfrOgRlX6SdX7XscGnjlKbXCOfwYSq55JY17k0i7-Uw3nxFkfNg1qbjYA0zC44kX4GBYMaR.Gvdocq0jz2U6LMfh3xh70ul0by-QM8s04EjGz-bhi2w&dib_tag=se&keywords=62TE+pigtail&qid=1721754659&sprefix=62te+pigtail%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-2

[@johng8967]

I got 1.7 on 19 terminal. On terminal 11,14,15,16&18 did you get 300 ohms or .300-.302?? Decimal makes a big difference don't know if anyone else got similar.

Hello. What would you suggest to check or replace when P0868 sometimes shows in 62te in Dodge Journey? Thank you

[@TheCoolKidsClub]

Two of them are 300 ohms and the rest are 0.00 and 0.04 and then some of them show 1. And my solenoid pack has gold pins and some silver

[@lisaburks2]

Limp mode has never shown up on my 62te and it would shift when first starting it but after that no shift

[@bobstone2447]

when taking off the shift solenoid the valvebody came apart and 2 tan balls fell out where do they go ???

[@TimJanish]

HOW DO YOU TEST POSITION SWITCH.WHAT RESISTANCE.

[@CHEAPROLLIN]

I have a 2010 62te occasionally we'll go into limp mode and gives an intermittent speed sensor code I think po937 ( I think) maybe it is an intermittent speed shaft input. And incorrect gear ratio it only happens when I am coming to a coasting stop from say 35 mph to a red light when I let it Coast it will cost down fine no issues but when I go to take off it will be stuck in second AKA lint mode I've done some research and believe it is the transmission range sensor is this a sensor inside of the pack you have here

[@Splashfun2000]

Do you have a page that shows which wires go to which pins, I think I'll just go to salvage yard and cut a connector off and check it that way ?

[@zerkfn8501]

David what is the cause of a p1745. Thanks

[@christopherhummel229]

Great video i just used it thank you I did the test on mine the dc pressure signal says 301 all the ones that are around 300. 2 also the od pressure signal is 299.8 would tht say its bad because everything else is between 1.2 and 1.4

[@judas70901]

beautyfull man, i like this dud a lot ,he is great in explaining and details ,he is awesome

[@rampid23]

I seen another video where the guy replaced just the solenoid, if I purchased the pack and disassemble, would it be easier to just replace the one solenoid in question to the old pack? I have limited workspace and wouldn't want to pull the valve body if possible.

[@leosalgado5114]

I need this kit!!! I’ve been making my own leads and it’s a pain and time consuming, and I always wondered if they had something like this! Thanks for video! Also have a 62te I have to diagnose, I had a U/D solenoid circuit issue on a customers car and the dealer said it was a bad pack, swapped it out with a reman Dorman pack and bolted up everything, filled it to proper level and after less then a mile, it went back on limp mode and cel came on. Checked the code and now it only shows the L/R solenoid circuit malfunction. I’m wondering if the pack was faulty. Now after this video, the sheet you provided, and the cool tool you used, I’ll have to diagnose it again with alittle more confidence. I’m leaning that it might be a bad/ faulty reman pack but I’ll just cover the basics with this testing. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

[@laithlaith2785]

2017 Grand Caravan here, my flex plate is cracked at 149,500. Having that replaced, figued while in there I'd have the TSP replaced as well, however i recently was made aware of the TCC, this too should be replaced due to mileage. If there any of solenoids you'd recommend having switched out while the Solenoid Pack and Flex Plates being done?? 🙏 I'm a state certified foster parent, i need this minivan in top notch condition, i should note that tge transmission fluid and filter was replaced 3 months and 10 thousand miles ago. Thank you kindly!

[@tomalynndisalvo8810]

Good brand caravan 2008 what is a shift solenoid actually do when it goes bad Does it shut down the engine and does it turn on the check engine light

[@WymanFleming]

2012 Volkswagen Routan 182,315 miles, had drove about 250 miles, was sitting at a red light felt like we got hit from rear. Pulled away just fine, got into a parking garage, started to whine, shift funny and slip, parked. Came back in about four hours, started up and seemed to be OK, headed out, after about 45 minutes of city driving, made a hard stop, would not drive forward or reverse. Pushed it into a parking lot. Came back the next day to haul it home, Would back up, but would not drive onto dolly. Checked for codes P0733, P0868, P0841, P083B, P084B, were set. Changed filter and fluid, cleared codes. Will drive ln manual 1 & 2, slips in 3 and stops driving forward, will drive in reverse. If you restart will drive forward until shifts into 3. Code P0733 came back and will not clear with my code reader. Can the solenoids be tested in the transmission? Do the gaskets on the valve body have to be replaced, if solenoids are removed? Is there a pressure test procedure for the 62TE? Thanks for some really good information, great help

[@TheCoolKidsClub]

Can you still have a bad solenoid but no check engine light?

Great info!! Do you know info on checking ohms on 2011 Sonata 2.0 turbo trans solenoid pack?

[@bruce6364]

Excellent video and super good instruction. Can I verify solenoid operation by applying 12V to it and hear clicking? Or is it not 12V device? Also, is there anyway i can get TCM schematic or anything near? I have 2014 Promaster that drops to neutral while driving then takes 2-3 hours cooling before back to normal. Could that be heat related open circuit somewhere? I can run it normal for about 17 miles before it happens. Thanks in advance

[@Relevantminded]

Something noone shows us on you tube is where the power and signals come from to the 62te transmission on a 2014 dodge grand caravan sxt 3.6l so we know where it's located so we can test those sources instead of just going through fixing the transmission going through all that trouble and still end up getting these codes afterwards. Like what relay in the tips on a 2014 effects it wheres the tcm located etc etc

Just tested mine and some of them say 0.00 and my ohm tester beeps, and the two of them says 299 and the rest of them say 0.01. Am I doing it wrong?

is the tcm inside a 2010 Town and Country. i replaced one the other day did everything right wouldnt shift. they trans company sent tech to check my work and agreed with me but he said tcm was in trans i didn't think so

[@Splashfun2000]

I just checked the solenoids on a 2012 Town and Country, I get 1.1 ohms on all the ones your chart shows should be 1.6-1.8 except for the line pressure solenoid shows 2.6 ohms, your chart says 4.8-5.1 and all the ones your chart shows 300 ohms mine show 104.4-104.6. So I'm going to assume because of the consistent readings they are good except for the line pressure solenoid which is half of what your chart is showing.

[@adriancaleanu]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful! I measured the solenoid pack going through all the pins and all the readings were correct. Is it safe to say that my issue is NOT the solenoid pack??? I have a P1745 code and my Grand Caravan is currently in limp mode. Thank you!
