Jeep Grand Cherokee Electronic Shift module cleaning video.wmv

[@chicagokieran]

This video is great, can't thank you enough. I have a 2006 Cherokee with 83,000 miles which would sometimes not shift from 1st to 2nd. All the lights PRND would all illuminate at same time and check engine light would come on. I took it to the jeep dealership who of course wanted to look at it further and probably charge me over $500 for a new shifter and $300 for labor ($800). After doing my own research I realized it was likely the shifter issue as described in this video. I followed the video step by step and spent 3 hours this afternoon taking out the console, etc. I purchased electric solution cleaner and sure enough, the lines between the spaces were clearly visible. After cleaning the graphite streaks I put everything back together. I then cleared the code and took the jeep for a drive. Sure enough it ran perfectly and transmission shifted smoothly. Thanks to this great video I saved myself at least $500

[@Quis4726]

Mine is having the same issue my rpm's are in the 3 and 4000 thanks for being so detailed in the comments 💪🏾💪🏾

[@adrianolavarria]

What code you was getting ?

[@brianknight7220]

You my friend are a lifesaver!!! Just purchased a 2005 Grand Cherokee and sometimes it wouldn’t shift into high gear. Thought I had transmission issue but read and followed this process!!!Now shifts perfect!!Amazing! Can’t thank you enough!

[@jason2715]

My 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee check engine light came on with codes P0700 and U0404. With some online research I narrowed it down to the ESM, which either needed cleaned or replaced. I used your video to try cleaning it. There was a significant amount of graphite trails going across the gaps, so I cleaned the whole thing. I put it back together and reconnected the battery. The CEL stayed on for a few minutes, then shut off on its own. Test drive went great. No issues after ten minutes, so this initially looks like a success. Thank you so much for posting this video. I would have had no clue how to do this and would have paid $1000+ for a mechanic to replace. Thank you!

[@cgreeneblue]

+Jason Westman You're welcome... hope it ends up doing the trick for you. At least you also know how to replace the part with a new one if it comes to that at some point without paying somebody else to do it. Mine continues to work fine three years after the last cleaning so hopefully you'll have the same luck.

[@dauntejamar]

Jason Westman How is your truck now ? Debating on buying one this week with the exact same codes

[@jason2715]

I still own the Jeep. My son is driving it now. The issue has not come back since I cleaned up the graphite trails.

[@janpaulussen4928]

Just out of interest: How many miles did the jeep have when it occured? I have one with only around 60.000km / 40.000miles on it: And have the problem, but it seems early for me to have the graphite smear already, hence the question.

[@nickk2431]

@@janpaulussen4928 mine has 112k on it. Just cleaned it. Working great so far. I'd clean it again after a couple months. Get the residual graphite off. It should last a long time.

[@vacaweber]

Thank you so much for posting this video. My neighbor had this problem on her Jeep and we did not know how to fix it. The dealer wanted to charge her in the neighborhood of $600 to $800, but thanks to your video, I was able to fix it for free.

[@kelprincez23]

I want to thank you for taking the time make this video. I have a 2005 grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L AND I WAS HAVING the problem of my transmission shifting randomly into 3rd gear every 30 seconds of driving only after purchasing the vehicle 1 month prior to this... until I came to a stop and restarted it and it would go back to "D". Sure enough after 45 more seconds it would again shift hard and show "3". I searched every website to help find answers and I finally came across this video. So I Infact gave it a try and did exactly what u said and wah la...problem solved!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars and I thank you again!!!

[@jacquesriungel1422]

Thanks for posting. I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 3.7L with the same problem. Check engine would light up, even the [P][R][N][D]. I cleaned as per your tutorial video and it worked like a charm! This video saved me $475+labor fees. Thanks, man!

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Still a useful video almost 9 years later. Thanks!

[@royeyjolfson5682]

Just a quick thank you for taking the time to make this video. My '07 Jeep GC shifting started to go a bit wonky by locking into a low gear and all shift positions boxed out. Could clear it with a stop, shift to park and then back to into D but didn't want to push it to a complete failure. With a little research I came across your video. Nothing was left out and all worked well. Especially appreciated the detail on when to be careful - my track record is to usually damage one or two tabs. Much appreciated and thanks again.

[@robertisaac8041]

Thanks for your expert tutorial video on removing the shift module on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee and cleaning the contact points. Followed your tutorial step by step, slowly, removed and cleaned the contacts. Drive shifting works really good now. There are vehicle breakdowns that are best left to the auto mechanics but I appreciate it when people like yourself dedicate their time to teach us how we can learn and do some of the not so complicated auto mechanical breakdowns. Much appreciated! Robert

[@XTRABIG]

This tutorial video was excellent and deserves all the views it gets!! I was able to perform the cleaning by following the steps and I'll see tomorrow if there's any improvement; I'm expecting there will be

[@ohyahthatisme17]

I definitely owe you a huge thank you, my 05 Laredo has had this problem on and off for a year and I started getting u0404 and p0700 from my code reader. I took the jeep to mechanic and got quoted 1300 for the work, as a university student i couldn't afford this repair. luckily i found your video through the forums and after following your guide my jeep is running better than ever!

[@pcrhkr]

Thank you very much for this U-Tube Post. I was having daily problems with my 2007 Laredo going into limp mode. Why this is not a recall is beyond understanding!The dealer wants your money on this one. I followed these instructions, watching the Video. This is a great Video! This saved me $850.00. The Guy at AutoZone, who worked for Chrysler for 7 years said he did many of these, cleaning the traces on the control board may fix it. He said it was easy. I googled and found this video . I disassembled as instructed above on the 2007 Laredo. Everything came apart as in the Video. The hardest part was the chrome piece under the knob twisting it the correct direction to get it off. You need the correct tool to unscrew the assembly, which you can get at any tool supply. Lightly rubbing with a pencil eraser removed the carbon on the traces, and on the blanks between them. I followed up with rubbing alcohol on Q-tips to clean. This worked like a charm! The Engine light went out after 2 days, and has stayed off. I think the Jeep is performing better. Thanks again! PCR

[@cgreeneblue]

That's great. I love checking this post to see how many people were able to successfully do this and save money.

[@aless5207]

Great video Chad, fixed my dad's Jeep after he had shifting issues after driving across Australia! Couldn't have done it without your amazing explanation and it's still going strong years later.

[@kf2u]

Thanks for the video. My 2005 has 97k miles and it just started to do this. I spent more time looking for the appropriate bits than the actual removal, cleaning, and reinstall. The test drive seemed fine. The Check Engine light went out after the next key cycle. Keeping my fingers crossed. I will give it some time before a victory lap. I'll update then. Thanks again!

[@LuisHernandez-youtube]

First of all thank you for taking the time to make this video. I just cleaned mine on my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo Sport 4X4 while following your video. Im praying that this works I just finished putting everything back together and looking forward to driving it without having to pull over and turn off Jeep and turning it back on. Again thank you and good luck to everyone hope it works out for all.

[@cgreeneblue]

Glad to help. It's great that so many people have tried this and had success.

[@davidbarnett8829]

I cannot thank you enough!! This trick worked good on my 2006 Jeep Commander. I just took it out for a test drive and ran a few errands and it seems to be working great. Awesome video and THANK YOU again!! Greatly appreciated this DIY video!

[@bobjones5521]

We have an 07 that's been primarily a work vehicle. Started shifting hard and acting like it was in "safe mode" when you took off. This was 4 or 5 years ago. Did this trick, fixed all those problems. Just started doing it again, so here we go. By the way, this is one, and minor, of many problems this Cherokee has had.

[@oriox3000]

Hey Chad, thanks for making the video regarding the shift module cleanup detail. My wife's jeep started to have this same problem with me thinking that I had to buy a new part. It worked like a charm. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@fgrau7376]

Excellent Video!!! I replaced my shifter because the slide part broke and this video was incredibly informative and allowed me to do it in about 10 minutes thank you very much for the step-by-step process!!!!! Without it I probably would never had attempted it and either lived with it or eventually brought it to a shop or dealer.

[@TheRwajr61]

Chad Many thanks, board was filthy coffee, soda, ect purchased 2005 last May 2013 72,000 miles this was the problem. You saved me 700.00 dollars. Car is running great..

[@Turdchucker09]

The rubber piece where your knob travels got all gummed up and I could move my 05 out of neutral or reverse. This video saved me hundreds if not thousands. You sir saved my day

[@KiloCharlieOne]

Had weird shifting problems and brackets around the PRND indicator. Took to dealership and they confirmed it was the TCM and wanted $900 to replace. A little denatured alcohol and q-tips, cleaned the board and my jeep is running great again. Worked like gangbusters!

[@theknowhow4692]

Many thanks for this. Been getting a few transmission related error codes recently and ‘juddery’ gear changes, so I did this yesterday. Your video is great. I didn’t replace the two screws holding the 4WD thing in place. Will use some fixing tape so I don’t have to remove the entire console next time. It was good to recover two lost pens and numerous old coins though, that had fallen in through where the parking break gap is, and give it all a vacuum. When I put the ESM back over the gear stick I forgot to feed it through the white plastic hole first (that’s underneath). Oops. All fitted back in now. Will take it for a run this morning to see what’s changed :)

[@oxbowfamily9130]

What a simple fix! Thx! Had to repeat a bunch of years later and glad I remembered this video

[@BuzzWorthy]

Good job on the video, it sure made the job a lot easier! Thank you. I used alcohol and Q-Tips, then I put a coat of DeoxITFaderLube Liquid which is made for plastic to plastic and metal fader/sliders which should extend the cleaning interval substantially. No more error of all the gears being lit up as if they are selected and the awful unexpected limp mode. This was done on a 2006 Jeep SRT8.

[@slyfoxx2973]

Thanks for the vid. My ESM (2007) went south after only 17K miles. At 23K it started acting up again. I actually wrote the head of Mopar/Cust Service and two days later (read a few hours ago) I got a call saying they're cutting me a check for what it cost (~$1300) the last time this problem happened. (Yeah, I know...I don't drive much) So much trouble over a bit a crud on a circuit board! Contact cleaner to the rescue! But kudos to Chrysler for making it right.

[@mikelynch4361]

I see that nobody has commented in a long while but just wanted to say thanks too. Just did your procedure and the check engine light went off. Again, thank you.

[@Mikazita]

Old video but hey I’m buying a 2007 Jeep GC and the seller said that I have to buy a new electronic shift module, which cost $1000, to fix the gear problem when going up hills, but little does he know I’m going to just simply clean the esm! Thank you for the video!

[@markszyszkiewicz]

Did this three years ago...have to do it again. Thank you for posting

[@matthoskinson8193]

Very much appreciated. Great video. '06 Commander all time 4x4 started intermittently not wanting to upshift out of either 1st or 2nd gear. Has been running well for just over a week so hopefully this was the issue. About 30 minutes worth of work (did not have to take apart entire console due to all-time 4x4 in this model) and a $15 can of circuit board cleaner from Radioshack.

[@SomeNobodyiswatching]

Was it not accelerating or goin into limp mode because of this problem?

[@thomashoskinson7918]

2006 Jeep Commander AWD. This procedure saved a ton of money and took only a bout a half an hour to accomplish. The vehicle would sometimes not shift out of second gear, the check engine light illuminated and stayed on and it was showing about 7 transmission faults when the codes were checked. Removed the module and cleaned the circuit strip as suggested. It was very dirty and a lot of carbon. Two weeks after the procedure everything continues to be working as it was supposed to and all codes are cleared. Thanks a bunch. Great fix.

[@cgreeneblue]

That's great. Glad it worked in the Commander too!

[@thomashoskinson7918]

Chad Greene Well, now for the rest of the story. Turned out that the "fix" only lasted a few weeks and then back to limp mode. Took it in to the shop and found some leaking fluid lines and a rear seal. Not enough to lose much fluid but enough to change the fluid pressure. Replaced the lines and seal and no subsequent issues. So far no additional issues for several months.

[@cullencarter3026]

I need to add to this stream as this is a huge liability issue for the manufacturer. First of all, thank you for your information video...I spent the day taking your suggestions and they helped tremendously.My vehicle went from performing hazardous and cautionary for accident pron to being safe . Forget the recall, the manufacturer should have plenty of information on this and they are just weighing the cost hoping their insurance covers them...this is a huge class action waiting to happen with punitive implications . I am sure they monitor all of these sights so I am sure they are on notice of the liability and their insurance company should be also. i will FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE INSURED with AND PUT THEM ON NOTICE AS WELL .. i will send a formal letter just in case they hope to fly under the radar..... Such an easy fix thanks to your knowledge and the manufacturer has remained silent for years allowing their dealerships to charge money for their incompetence and negligence!!!

[@tonyleeming7246]

Thanks Chad...great video..I finally got round to doing this.I now understand why you have to remove the console...just to get to those two screws holding the 4WD T bar! I found the console a pain so I have speed taped the base of the T bar assy to the plastic tray base rather than the screws up from the bottom. Now the ESM can be removed very easily without having to mess with the console.

The [P][R][N][D] problem became weekly and quickly learned that using the +/- on the gear selector would kick it back into gear. I finally grew tired of this and was going to take it in (had the original ESM changed out under warranty) when I ran across this video. This video, an hour or two, and a $10 can of electronics cleaner from Radio Shack solved the issue. It's been 4+ months problem free. Thank you!

[@andrewdutton7559]

Dude, this video is so valuable if you are ever in the Atlanta area let me know, I'll buy you a steak dinner., You saved my ass with this video. Took the shifter apart in my 2007 Daimler/jeep /Mercedes jeep with same transmission as the s-class AMG 600's, what I found inside looked like a Carmel macchiato from Starbucks. Jeep tripped 3 codes, everything from transmission torque converter lock up, solonoid, shifter not communicating with transmission and ecm. Followed your step by step, cleaned everything with glass cleaner and circuit board with CRC contact cleaner. Also cleaned off Gold contacts for shifter mechanisms. Lost of crud , coffee a, soda, and grease , it was a mess. Put it all back together , connected battery back up and WACK, just like new.

[@cgreeneblue]

I did it once last year and there was still no symptoms 25,000km later. I did it again as a preventative measure this year while making this video so I really don't know how long one cleaning would actually last. I consider once a year well worth it for myself though. It will likely depend on how bad the streaking is on the circuit board gaps and if you can be patient and clean it all very well.

[@TheMarkBurghart]

Hello Chad, own 2007 SRT8 GRAND CHEROKEE was having issues with the transmission going limp and network OBD2 codes. Stumbled across your video and decided try cleaning the unit. Was unnecessary to remove entire console, since this vehicle is AWD. From tear down to reassemble total time of 45min, 5 days since the cleaning and trouble is gone. Thank you!

[@AirFlightz908]

Hey was yours going into limp mode whenever u did a hard acceleration? I have a 06 Srt8 n It does that Im going to try and clean this part

Yes, intermittently no acceleration. Haven't had any issues since my cleaning.

[@DennisHeatherman-wn4cv]

This method works like a charm.. I had to do this to fix my shifter as well.. mine is a 4x4 but does not have the high/ low selector..

[@cgreeneblue]

If you have not done so already get the code/s read from a scan tool to make sure it is indeed the ESM before you replace the unit. My jeep would illuminate the check engine light as it "jumped" out of gear and lit up all the [P][R][N][D]but it didn't ever go into limp mode that I can recall. The circuit board is outsource in the ESM anyway so if the ESM part number matches you'll likely same some money with an aftermarket one if it exists.

[@riossinaloa7484]

Muchas gracias por tu vídeo,, me sirvió muchísimo!!! 👍👍

[@luistv8680]

Dis culpa amigo que falla hacia su camioneta por tener sucia esa tarjeta

[@cgreeneblue]

Yes it can certainly be an occasional problem. Mine would often happen on the highway when cruise control was on. It would randomly act like it was in neutral and my gear indicator would look like this: [P][R][N][D]. Shutting down and restarting often "reboots" things for a short time and then the problem returns. As for the 3.7 I'm not sure. You'd have to open it up to see what lies within, but I'm guessing it is similar if not sthe ame same setup in there.

[@cgreeneblue]

It is best to disconnect the battery terminal. There could be a spike that damages the module when you install it if it's not and all your work and money will lost. Battery terminals can be really frustrating. Mine took a long time the first time I did this.

[@goldcrown4]

Experienced fail-safe mode for my 2005 Grand Cherokee LTD Hemi QDII tranny this weekend (stays in 3rd gear). First thing I did was check transmission fluid and it was a quart low but after topping off, it did not correct the shifting problem. Went to AutoZone for code scan and was getting 0705 (transmission control module and related). I was 1.5 hrs from my destination on a Sunday (holiday weekend at that) so I kept it under 50mph for the remaining distance (no where near red-line for a Hemi). Along the way, we stopped at a convenience store and upon restart, the tranny went back to normal... for about a mile. It then reverted to fail-safe. UGH! When I got home and did my usual research digging, I found this video Chad Greene posted. I did the entire procedure shown in his video. The first two test drives after reassembly, the tranny would again start out in 3rd gear. I was getting disheartened at the thought of shelling out extraordinary amounts of stealership diagnosis money but went for a 3rd test drive (each test drive = 1 engine cycle, meaning the vehicle was shut off and restarted.) Since that 3rd test, it has operated normally which includes 3 engine cycles so far at city and highway speeds, smooth and bumpy roads. So far so good (45 miles since last fail-safe mode). I still have a check engine light, but it's probably related to the continuity/communication failures after disconnecting the wire bundles from the ESM. I should note that I could not perceive any graphite lines or streaks in the gaps on the circuit board but cleaned the whole thing anyway with elec contact cleaner sprayed onto a cotton swab. There was a lot of black residue on the swabs (I used 4 of them). It makes me wonder how many other circuit boards need cleaning to prevent thousands of dollars in unneeded repair costs.

[@budviper2000]

+goldcrown4 , 05 grand cherokee 5.7, mine kinda just did the same thing only it's still in third gear as of now. i drove 300 mile for thanksgiving, was 40 mile from home today fri. stopped and got gas and took off noticed it was driving very hard looked down at the dash and it was in third gear would not shift from that gear i could hold the shifter to the right and it would show D but not shift. Restarted it twice raining hard and we decided to trek the 40 mile at 40 mph LOL UGH anyway. i have po700 code im going to try this video tomorrow cause i hate dealerships hehe

[@mb34124]

Did it fix your problem?

[@johnstillson6450]

goldcrown4 My 06 Commander would not shift above 2nd gear. I duplicated Chad's cleaning of the shifter control module contacts. Reassembled everything and took a test drive. Had the same experience as you did with the 3 (on/off) engine cycles. I have all of my gears back! Today is 8/26/17, only drove the Jeep for one test drive. Question for you.... Did this permanently fix your problem? Have you had anymore shifting issues?

Great video, I have the same issue when the temp drops below 33, I will try to clean this part and see how it works.

[@MrLaurenceDunn]

Brilliant video will now sort out my Jeep WK...

[@GusMahn]

Back whenI had slot cars, we used a soft pencil eraser to clan the contacts. I bet it would also work good here.

[@alfredomarquez9777]

That would be a BAD idea: Look, when you cleaned those slot cars, you were removing a layer of oxidized copper or brass, for which an eraser is good. BUT,here you are dealing with delicate carbon coated traces, If you use an eraser most probably you are going to remove too much of the conductive trace, destroying it.The BEST cleaner of all them is something called "Cramolin" (tm), made by CAIG Labs. That substance is like a red colored oily liquid that removes ALL oxides from contacts WITHOUT removing the coated trace material.You just put a little on a cotton swab and gently rub all contacts, that will perform the very best cleaning on electronic contacts.

Thank you for doing the video well done. I have heard about this but had no idea where it was:) I guess I’ll clean the board.

Nice video. My 2005 Grand Cherokee Laredo is starting give the check engine light. And the code that came up had to do with TCM. I took the outer chrome bezel off TCM base to check electrical plug and give it a wiggle and it took the check engine light off. So I will go ahead and do the take apart to do do the cleaning of the board. Hopefullly this was my only issue for the check engine light. Thanks for a good video on this.

What’s it mean when the vehicle shifts but the vehicle doesn’t move in reverse or drive? Code P0841 and P0944

You should probably note the years that this helps. The 08' does not have this type of module could be even after 08'. Had some shifting problems, pulled everything apart to find the esm is some white little box deeper inside the shifting assembly. So fyi to anyone else with an 08' and above.

Hi Chad! , I try to clean my ESM but didn't work, so I ordered a new one on ebay, I change it today but I have the same problem, do I need to change the entire console? or do I need to buy it at the dealer? please advise,

[@rakeshmahadevan269]

Awesome video. I just wanted to replace the slider cover and the two screws holding the 4WD was a mystery... 👍

[@Puppykupo]

this is amazing ive had this problem on my '07 aswell its rare but it does happend now that i have seen your vid, i plan on cleanning this module asap. but one question? have you or anybody else been having problems with "TRANSMISSION OVER TEMPERATURE" come on were the PRND display is at? i had this problem already twice the first tiem the dealer told me i had to replaced the trans the second time i took it to a friend he replaced the celonoids and trans module control and fixed. but i wanted to know if you had this problem and how could i fix it if it happens again?

Yes intermitting on our 2006 Commander and under investigation. We are installing independend temperature sensors to have a real reading. Good extra ground cable from battery minus to engine is worth an extra #6 high flex wire.

[@dawnhentschel1773]

[@abrahamarreola1728]
