[@waynefiskum2166]

Awesome video and thanks for the document!

[@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?

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 ,

[@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.

[@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

[@dpmautomotive1758]

Nice video good test leads make life much easier

[@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!

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

[@PhillyDee215]

Proper testing👍

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I’m not going to say I always do.....but I should lol. As a dealer tech you get complacent with common issues on the same product and once you see 4 or more of something you assume it’s always the issue until that one time you get your rear handed to you lol

Many Thanks, are you professional real Technicians 🙏👏👍

[@angelmenera7648]

[@MyGoogleYoutube]

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

[@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!

[@jimmyparsons6170]

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

[@moogmike01]

First thank you for sharing.... This would have been good to know years ago. We had a Dodge Journey that the electronics in the trans was setting a multiple misfire code. I checked everything on the engine side and finally realized it was from the trans side sending goofy things to the pcm. The original trans shop that did a rebuild on the transmission only had 15k miles but was out of the time warranty. They would only touch it if I opted for a full rebuild again. If I would have know this, I would have checked myself and saved myself some money. Afterwards they told me this that and the other and that the selenoid pack was bad. Afterwards it was what fixed a multiple misfire... who would have thought. Electronics can do weird things.

[@djbobbyd3985]

This is an amazing video... I know everyone is asking you different questions about issues and I hate to jump on the band wagon, but my son has a 2008 dodge Grand Caravan 4.0l with a 62TE and its in limp mode and has a P0846 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch B is this related to the solenoid? Thanks in advance for any help

[@randy1ization]

[@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

[@cto511987]

You are awesome my friend. Blessings in Christ Jesus!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I have a few of the terminal kits I got them from aeswave

[@slimanbenmohamed6562]

Hi Dave, Good job thanks for all you videos aboutit the 62te. I have an issue with the temperature of the transmission always shown vert high. The measurement between pin 22 ans 23 gives 23Kohms. Is that value is in the correct range? Do you have any reference value? Is the sensor embeeded in the solenoid pack? Thanks for your help.

[@dmcannon99]

I know this is old, but the reading between 22 & 23 should be 12k...you were nearly double that.

[@stephendolphin8662]

Great video David 👍 is there power to that solenoid pack while it sits on your bench? Thanks

[@cto511987]

There is no power going to it, he is only measuring the resistance between the numbered leads.

[@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

[@johncostig60]

Dave, Great video, I am hesitant to pull the valve body. Is it possible to purchase a soleniod pack and swap out the soleniods into the existing pack with new O rings? Thanks

[@tube8533]

great

[@stanleypineda6749]

Please do a video of changing a power steering pump from a 2013 Town and Country appreciate thank you so much

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I will certainly keep that in mind as a future video.

[@ronalde.6285]

Hello Dave. Can this test be done without taking the Transmission or Solenoid Pack out. If removal not required for test, should battery terminals be disconnected?

[@jamesu]

Hello David!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Hope you enjoyed

[@MrFunkymunky1618]

Awesome write up and this has helped me alot. But how do you measure pin 22 and pin 23. Would they be the same ohms as the rest?

[@dmcannon99]

12k

[@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

[@ronalde.6285]

Great video Dave. Do I have to disconnect battery terminals to do this test?

[@johng8967]

To be safe I would. Don't wanna be pulling plugs while there's power on.

[@petersherrouse33]

I assume the TCC solenoid should be measured between 3 and 10? and resistance 1.6- 1.8 Ohms? As to the packs, where did you see those separate replacement coils?

[@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.

[@bulbman7080]

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!

[@craigconstruction3929]

Dave can I test my solenoid while it's in the van? Do I need to disconnect the battery? Thanks Craig

[@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

[@dmcannon99]

I know this is a couple of years old, but I am in the process of replacing the pack on a T&C. The new one came in (a MOPAR unit, not aftermarket or rebuilt), and I did all the resistance testing. Every one of the "1.6-1.8 Ohms" tests actually came out at 1.1 Ohms...every one of them. The remainder came out at 300 or 301, just as the chart says. Is this a problem with the pack or is 1.1 acceptable? Or is it possible my multimeter is evil? P.S. Love your channel.

[@hgarciazzz]

I replaced my it worked.... P0760 (OD selenoid circuit malfunction) tested pin 19 I got 2.4 ohms should be 1.6 ohms.... thank you so much for the info.

[@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.

[@hgarciazzz]

@@johng8967 on my I got .304 ohms it’s like 300 ohms depends on your meter I selected 2k setting(manual setting)

[@akaitv6606]

Hey mate if the oil hasn't been replaced for 70000miles and there's lots of metal on the pan magnet , is the solenoid pack at risk from contamination??.

[@bozomartin3191]

Do you know how I could get info in the document with the link above (which I think you created) for my 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT? I was hoping it would be the same but my connector has only 22 pins and think it is different transmission. I have both the P0717 and P0722 (input/output sensors) codes but suspect problem is with solenoid switch as I discovered some previous wiring repairs in harness and some of wires look like they are not in good shape. Service manual suggests all types of tests between Solenoid pins and TCM pins but was thinking that I should just be able to test at solenoid harness.

[@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

[@MrTlsergio]

Dave, What’s the reason one day the transmission won’t go beyond the 3rd and the next day works ok? Is this issue possible related to the solenoid or the input and out put sensors or the transfer shaft sensor? Thank you!

[@m.singleton229]

Wish you were in the motor city..

[@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.

[@DependableAutoTruck]

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
