How to Remove, Reset and Refit TIPM - Grand Caravan 3.6 V6 (2011-2021) 

😂😂 yep! My dealership said the TIPM and PCM needed replaced and reprogrammed and quoted us almost $2,200 as well and not including almost $250 just to diagnose! The new TIPM's from Dodge aren't even fixed where it doesn't happen again later...only 2 year warranty 🙄 we are replacing both ourselves and PCM with lifetime warranty for under $500! Very grateful for this in depth video!

@@YouWrench My 2008 Caravan also had a bad TIPM. That one cost $65 and works like a charm. The van even seems to run better. That is the same van that was using 1 qt of oil per 500 miles. I put a can of Engine Restorer in it and a new PCV valve and now it uses 1/2 qt of oil in 5,500 miles.

Wow, that is a lot of electrical problems!!! Yes, absolutely the TIPM could but a culprit in many of the issues you mentioned, and I would certainly be looking at that as a priority. It may be worth getting the part number off of your TIPM and buying a used one on eBay (or similar) with the same part number, plug it in and try. It may solve youe issues entirely, it may solve them partially, and there is also the far more unlikley chance that it won't help at all. But for the price of a used TIPM I would likley try that first.

Try testing the relay for the front blower in the top of the tipm (or just swap temporarily with another identical relay next to it just to test). Then test your blower motor. And blower motor resistor. And then after that it would be worth looking atthe heater control panel. Unfortunately it's a process of elimination so you have to keep testing each part one by one until you track it down. We had the front blower not working on a car here, tested EVERYTHING. Turned out to be the TIPM in that case, replacement TIPM and job done. But, of course, that's just one of the possible things it could be.

Well unfortunately it can be the cause of many, many issues. Things like transmission problems, fuel pump, engine starting, engine stalling, electrical bugs such as windows, ac blower fan. All kinds of weird and wonderful things. You would usually run tests on the issue first to try and rule out the issue being outside of the TIPM - a process of elimination. B these TIPM's do go wrong pretty often, it's a common problem (especially as this unit controls so much within the car and so can be the cause of so many different potential problems!!)

Have a look on eBay, you should find companites that can supply the code cheaply (around $10) if you don't have it.

Yes, it sounds like the TIPM they supplier could be dead.

@@YouWrench just went back and double checked my connections- one was a little loose- I re connected that plug and made sure I heard the clicks and the car has power! Sometimes the simplest thing is the answer- took too long to figure out though

No, you should not need a dealer to program this, provided you have bought the exact same part number as the replacement. The TIPM will take the information (including VIN) from the car during the reset process (as shown in this video).

I would not risk it personally. You'll be better off hunting a little harder/waiting longer to find the exact match/newer version confirmed as compatible. Some sellers on eBay just sell TIPM's on the understanding you can take any part number and put it into any car that uses the same type of TIPM. This DOES NOT work. We've tried this, and had two different numbered TIPM's where the indicators would not work at all on a Grand Caravan despite the reset etc. Tracked down the same part number, worked 100%. They make different part number for a good reason, they are different. Stick to matching the exact/definitely compatible part number, you won't regret it!!

@@YouWrench I picked up a used tipm from a same year caravan but have not tried it or checked the part numbers yet. The problem with mine is that fuel pump relay that is soldered in the tipm. I thought it would be easier to put in a new tipm. Otherwise I would have to order one of those aftermarket bypass circuit from Vertical Visions but would take 2-3 weeks. Other option is to take my tipm apart and solder in another relay. Again a new relay may be hard to find and possibly more waiting time without a vehicle. Is there any harm in trying a tipm without a matching part number ? Any other suggestion for this relay problem ?

@@YouWrench I just checked the part numbers. Surprisingly the actual number part was exactly the same ! The only difference was the last letter (latest version ?). Mine was an ‘F’ this used one was a ‘H’. I’m assuming it should work fine yes ??

@@dillwiggle2 Try a Google search of your original part number. On websites that sell genuine MOPAR products they will often list the TIPM but advise it is no longer available and has been superseded, and give the part number for the direct updated replacement. Hopefully you'll find your H is fully backward compatible with your F. But worth a 5 minute Google search as it's not always the case!! Hope that helps.

@@YouWrench I checked one website selling them and they seemed to be all compatible as long as the main part number was the same. So anyways I just put the donor tipm in and it actually works !!! Your video was excellent information on this topic btw ! Had one more question one of my key fobs for 2011 grand caravan does not work and I have replaced the battery and a new outer plastic shell and still won’t work. It’s the basic fob with just the lock/unlock/panic buttons. Can you please let me know how to program this fob as I only have one key fob working right now !

Did the new TIPM part number match 100% to the old one? Or is the new part number one that definitely supercedes the old one? If you take any old same type TIPM and change it over you can get strange issues happening. It could be that! They do have different part numbers for a reason :-) Otherwise it could be one of the actuators has gone faulty. It seems strange it would coincide with the TIPM changeover, so I'd be thinking TIPM most likley. But otherwise an actuator.

@@YouWrench the main part number was exactly the same the version of mine was an ‘F’ that one I put in was ‘H’ I believe so it was slightly newer version. I looked this morning in the window and there was no blinking so not sure if it stops after a certain point or not. And I have not actually tried the rear defrost into see if it works yet but the heater works fine. What do you mean by actuator ?

@@YouWrench so when I went to start vehicle for first time today it started to blink again and the heater never worked then a couple mins later it stopped and the heater starts to work. That’s basically what it seems to be doing now. But the heater will work fine until the vehicle shits off then it will blink again, it will either shut off at some point then start again when the vehicle is started then shut off again and the heater will work .

@@dillwiggle2 I'd recommend changing the TIPM back to the old one and see if the issue immediately disappears. If so, you have your culprit. Hope that helps!

@@YouWrench good suggestion but I’ll sacrifice a blinking light for the vehicle actually be able to start and drive lol

Figure it out yet?

Did you figure it out?

PCM controls the alternator charging

Just the clip part broke.

My turn signal is acting crazy. They arent blinking outside and my blinker is going really fast inside.

Yes, it should operate ok without the green clip. But not ideal as it could work it's way loose (unlikley, but could happen!) If you are having signal issues, and you 100% certain that the replacement TIPM has a 100% identical part number to your old one? --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!
