Chrysler/VW 62TE Transmission Solenoid Pack Testing 

David you’re the best. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

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

Thanks for the video. What are the symptoms of a bad transmission solenoid?

Dave I just found your channel on RU-vid I have to say you are one of the best mechanics out there Straight and to the point in all your videos No bs Subscribed

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

Thank you for taking the time to help people out 👍😁

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

Great video, David. Very thorough! Thank you.

Dave, good info as always enjoyable as always. cheeeers

how can i obtain one of those solenoid pack schematic ? i do not have the ability to copy it.

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

Great point brother just because it checks out dont mean its not bad

Good job David Last night I was driving my car (2010 chrysler town and country )and the engine light come on and the transmission stick in third gear I stop car immediately after two hours I check the code it’s ( P0765 Underdrive Solenoid Circuit ) I cleared the code and I drive the car again and everything is normal and the transmission change gear normal And today I checked transmission solenoid resistance testing like the video and all reading is normal except pin 12 ( Line Pressure Solenoid ) the reading is 5.4 Ohms and the specs is 4.8-5.1 Ohms !! Any ideas ?? I appreciate Thanks

I have 2012 Town and Country that seems to have some flare shifting between 4-5, and 5-6. Rpm's rise 300-400, but during that raise its still picking up speed. Runs great, no codes engine or tranny. Just started doing it, not sure where to look. Would a solenoid pack possibly take care of the issue?

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!

Very helpful! Thank you! My 2/4 solenoid measured 3.4 Ohms and all others were 1.6 Ohms. This appears to be out of spec. Would you all agree?

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.

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

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

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?

Hey Dave, love your videos! Do you know what could cause a p0988 code in a 09 ram with 545rfe trans, already replaced solenoid pack, any help would be awesome!

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

I got below the results in ohms please check for me P076A DC SOLENOID CIRCUIT FAULT IN PCM. Dodge Grand Carvan 2013 😅10 to 2 = 1.7 10 to 7 = 1.8 10 to 11 = 300 10 to 12 = 5.2 10 to 14 = 301.1 10 to 15 = 302.5 10 to 16 = 302.4 10 to 17 = 1.8 10 to 18 = 300 10 to 19 = 1.8 10 to 20 = 1.8 10 to 21 = 1.7

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

Hi dav.....great video and great information...but is it the same for dodge charger 2015....thanks again....

Po76a shift solenoid H code. 2016 town n country. Can we just change out the dc solenoid? I mean take one apart from another pack and just replace it? Would that work instead of buying a whole new pack?

Oh, GREAT material your putting up :-)

My pressure solenoid reads 5.3 ohms is that bad since your specs say 4.1 to 5.1 ? My transmission whines I have replaced the transmission pump 3 times all about 3 weeks apart and whine goes away and shifts drives fine then 3 or 4 weeks go by and whine comes back and loss of shifting replace pump it goes away and works fine then pump fails again I have a 2015 dodge journey 62te fwd tranny was thinking the line pressure control solenoid might be causing low pressure and whine starving sound if was letting the fluid bypass causing very low pressure in system. So I have pulled the trans fluid cooler return line out put it in funnel to feed back into the pan start vehical flow is powerful then whine slowly starts and gets louder and that line shows barely any flow suddenly like pump ain't working why would pump work but few mins later not work any help be appreciated as I have replaced 3 new pumps in my transmission there is no metal or anything and once new pump is in shifts drives fine no issues but suddenly new pump just quits all new fluids new filter every time I put another new pump in.

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

Brilliant Dave I probably will never do this but really informative and weel presented.

David you are awesome! Our community is grateful to you!

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

HOW DO YOU TEST POSITION SWITCH.WHAT RESISTANCE.

Appreciate the help just got lemoned on a 2012 journey

pin 20 i am reading 3.0 ohms all others perfect dc solenoid which one is this thanks as kept getting a p0765a code!

Can you test these with the pack in the transmission still? Appreciate the check list. You are a legend!

This guy is fantastic. I already have the cover off, but going to go through the checklist.

I changed mine and I'm still in limp mode says high pressure to long very confused anyone have any ideas

Does any body know about code Po869 2016 dodge journey

Great video and well done 👍 I didn't know that I was going to have to remove the large plate to get the pack off from the rear side. Very informative ✌️

I have the 62te chrysler 3.6l I tested the resistance and alot of the read 0.00 what does this mean

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

Hi guys i need help. i am geting 1.5 on reading its that my coil pack bad

Thank you for the diagram and how to

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.

Great work David

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

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

Would this be related to the p1745 code?

Once again. David. An excellent teacher. Thanks.

I hace code p1745 too high Variable Line Pressure (VLP) p0868 also to low will replacing that solenoid pack fix it 9r will I also have to change the top torque converter sensor and the lower left side fluid pressure sensor that both are attached separately to the valve body itself like the center solenoid is? I'm in limp mode and dying to take a shot at being the family hero and fixing this myself and saving the day lol

You did this testing with the solenoid pack out of the trans...can these tests be completed with the pack still installed in the trans? I mean are your specs on the data sheet applicable (I know I can physically, though challenging, get to the pins while in the trans in the car). 2015 Chrysler T&C

This is cool and handy, but the solenoid pack is so cheap and easy to do that if I get ANY trans codes other than the pump, I just swap it. So far, in 1.7 million miles spread over 3 Promasters, I’ve had to swap a pack exactly twice. I’ve had to swap one trans pump and one converter (same time on the same trans - not sure which caused the problem but I’m not doing that job twice!). For all the shit people sling about it, the 62TE has been nearly worry free for me.

Hey thanks for the video! Quick question i did this test and everything was ok on the solenoid pack yet i get a pending P0868 engine code so how do you test the electrical connector itself and is the individual line fluid pressure sensor attached on the bottom left of the valve body the culprit that can cause the P0868 and p1745 engine lights and cause my 2014 dodge grand Caravan to go into limp mode? Your help on this would be helpful i already paid for a obd2 adapter and appdiagfca app to clear the codes and perform a quick learn on my transmission and its driving smooth now but i still plan on changing the fluid and filter i just need to know if changing that individual lower left line pressure sensor aswell while im in there is the solution?

Very nice!! Appreciate the direction.

Where can I find a wiring diagram for the wiring harness on the bottom of the tipm? I want to check the wire coming from the solonoid pack negative lead 2 (low/reverse solonoid) to where it plugs into the bottom of the TIPM so I can check for continuity and to check for corrosion. As it is now I'm getting a low voltage reading on my voltmeter at terminal 2 to ground, That's the wire coming coming from the TIPM. but I may have a bad TIPM, bad TCM or Just a bad wire...I haven't moved the TIPM yet, I'm waiting for a daigram for the wiring harness showing the correct plug and the corresponding pin chart, Can someone help me please?

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

Can i do the slonid pack resistance check well its on car?

Only got 1st and reverse (only good for around town) I hope by watching your great info video I can sort it for cheap and get some more years out of it or maybe just cut my loss and get another vehicle.

Great info and video pike

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

shift solenoid h promaster 1500

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.

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

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!

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.

Dave help! I've tested all my solenoids pack and all of them are in range! (I didn't open the transmision) Also I checked wire by wire to the computer and all of them have continuity, It's a Doge journey rt 2010 with a code p0760 (shift solenoid c) , what else could be the issue? It drives well a couple of miles also I'm able to go until 5 gear with the stick, burt suddenly just jump to limp mode I see the fluid a bit burn... Is it posible that that blocks the solenoid?

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

If you rebuild the trans with a new pack, does it have to get reflashed?

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.

You’re da man! Thanks a lot. Very helpful!

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.

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

We change a Solenoid an it had no change to the transmision 2012 CARAVAN 16000 KL / an other vid said could be electric box , check with test light

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

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

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

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.

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

What wire can I cut. Or put power to to bypass limp mode? How many volts

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

I have a 2012 dodge ram 5.7 hemi...it had a recall on the shift column.. but now it kicks into manual mode on 1st gear once or twice every once in while..what could be the cause and is it cheap or easy to do..thanks

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!

Hey Jeff Evans here I just test my shift pack just wanted to ask you I have a 298 reading on my DC sioniod do you think that on has failed as it was supposed to test out at 300

I have a 10 town and country. Won't shift past second after it gets warm. No check engine light. Any ideas?

i don't have engine light on but tranny acting like this may be the issue, is there always codes when the solenoid is bad? 15v town n country 85k miles. thanks and great videos 👍

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?

Nice chart david

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.

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?

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 ,

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

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

I wonder if i get the right reading?

Thank you so much for this video. I was hoping there was a DIY way to check my trans issued.

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!

Great info. I have 3 mini vans but they all have the 41TE. Might get one in the future ya never know. Thanks Happy Motoring.

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 ?

Hey brother, I've watched a lot of ur videos. Can u add a canadian amazon shop so I can support you?

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