Mr. Pike’s instruction on how to fix this issue that plaques 2009 Dodge Journeys is truly a blessing. His in-depth understanding of the mechanics involved in this repair is well thought out and communicated with razor-sharp precision.
This video is a lamp of light to this most annoying condition that leaves many pros and DIY’ers alike in the dark chasing down dead-end theories and changing out needless parts to no avail.
Very impressive work Mr. Pike. It’s obvious that you’re passionate about your craft and your style of delivering information to the masses is unmatched. Good job young man...good job indeed!
To MotorCity Mechanic...Great video, great job of describing and showing a repair procedure. I have not watched but a couple of your videos but I am impressed. As a DIYer, retired mechanical engineer, and former VW mechanic, I can tell you are knowledgeable and have a great teaching manner. Your instructions are easy to follow and complete with tips and good visual illustrations. A+++
Many thanks Richard for those kind words. I appreciate it very much and I am glad to see that people notice the hard work that goes into these videos. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already....and again, thanks.
Your knowledge on Chrysler products is very evident. You included a lot of detail only an experienced tech would know. Nice props, lighting and editing Dave.
Many thanks....I have been trying to step up the quality when I can. Helps that the trans is on a stand so I have good access to everything. In the vehicle....not so much
Thanks. This video is gold!
Appreciate it Dan!
Great clear explanations from the best Mopar Man on CZcams!!
Many thanks Bill!
you're a hero to me, thanks for making this video, I owe you, and this worked for me in vehicle as did the servicing video too, much love
Awesome! I love to hear it when people tell me that they used more then one of my videos to help fix/service their vehicle. Glad to see that they are getting used. I appreciate the kind words James and thanks for following the channel.
Best videos everything nicely explained
Many thanks!
@@MotorCityMechanic and everything is very clearly filmed
Thanks for your videos. Very informative. Could you point where temperature sensor located in 62 te. Thanks.
Hey, thanks for this video it solved my no start issue, however now my 2011 T&C seems to be stuck in 2nd gear. Any thoughts on what I may have done wrong
Hello David I Love Your Awesome Videos, I have 2008 TC 4.0 that have a one click problem with a starter, replacing this sensor will also fix my problem ???
I don't know if you'll see this in time but it's worth a try. I replaced my shift solenoid pack and now after putting everything back together, it won't even change gears at all. What might I have done wrong ?
Somebody out there with the 3.8 litter is swearing right now.
Aint that the truth! lol
I notice that the link at the end of this video that should take you to part two actually takes you to the Ram PU :Park Override" video
When I launch multiple parts I schedule it for every 30 minutes that way one doesnt get posted out of order. The second just launched and the third will at 11am. Thanks for watching!
Does the range sensor have to do with the reverse lights from what I’ve red that’s what it it’s but wanted to make sure
So, am I right saying that this can be changed without taking transmission of the vehicle?
You are absolutely correct. It can be done "in vehicle". Thanks for asking and for watching.
Sweet #2 popped.
Wont be but just a few before #3 does as well. Appreciate you watching!
Great info does the range sensor can get too much play over time so the needles cant touch the terminals or it can get out of adjusment
Hi there........very nice job man........ thank you............
Many thanks!
Damn David, it's like you read my mind. One of my Promasters has exactly this problem - an intermittent start issue that I was suspecting was the key itself. Happens totally randomly - simply won't engage the starter. You wait 15 minutes, and it starts fine. It's been quite the head scratcher.
Why exactly does this happen? I tried cycling the shifter, thinking it was the neutral start function, but that didn't seem to affect it. Will it get worse over time? Should I just commit and replace the range sensor now to avoid a future stranding? Thanks!
BTW - I know what you are going to use to check the trans fluid!!
Lol.....I bet you do know, the stick was been out there for awhile on other channels as well. Not sure if this will be your problem or not. It takes getting it to happen and then monitoring the the range sensor switches to see if they match the park position or not. Its not a very common problem. Yours will certainly take some time to diag but like I mentioned.....the biggest issue is getting it to happen at the moment your checking it. Thanks for watching and for following the channel
Did you ever find out what that click no start was ? My wife's 11 town country has the same issue. Slamming the shifter to drive then to park and it seems to start.
Hi David. What position should the Link be in before removing the Range Sensor? Also you mention why the range sensor could be at fault based on certain symptoms or actions done. When you removed the old Range Sensor you didn't show us any physical damage showing the cause of failure.
When doing a Solenoid Pack service in your video, you never touched the link yet other CZcams videos show the linkage being part of a step in this service, is something missing? and shouldn't the Solenoid Pack Connector should be checked for broken or stuck pins or wires?
Lastly after a transmission job and a drive run is done,and something goes wrong and you have to open the transmission again, what do you do with the new Transmission Fluid installed? Do you replace it again with new fluid?
After installed range sensor .Do you need to relearn using scanner tools ?
So this would be the part if my journey says it's not in park? It won't crank even if I try to put it in neutral, it says not in park.
Possibly. It’s going to need some further checking to be 100% sure. I don’t want to say from my keyboard without being there that it “will” be but it’s good chance that it can be
So this transmission can be serviced? I hope you upload a service tutorial one day soon for these
The 62TE trans is very much serviceable and I will keep it in mind as a future video. Thanks for the request! Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified.
MotorCity Mechanic thank you again for the great info
Your welcome!
Is a p0734 and p0794 common codes to have with a bad range sensor i found one person who claims after a rebuild and valvebody solenoid pack replacement that a range sensor finally fixed the codes and subsequent limphome mode i have a van im working on that has the issue of setting these after clearing and two test drives light resets then keep driving and goes to limp mode more often in stop n go traffic my concern is i dont want to attack this backwards so im studying everything before even opening it up
The code P0794 doesnt come up when I am looking around. The P0734 mainly just means there was an issue in that gear. I need to know more about that second code. Double check the number. I havent seen the range sensor cause the gear ratio code yet but anything is possible.
i have the very same codes and limp mode as well. how did you manage to fix the vehicle?
Did you fix
What happen if my Chrysler town & country do not shift
Hello Sr ! I have a dodge charger 2007 sxt where is transmission range sensor?
It will be bolted to the valve body so you will need to drop the pan and remove the valve body to get to it. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Is this the same as the 41te!?
can this be accomplished with the trans in vehicle?
It sure can. I just did it on a trans I had on a stand so that I could film it easier. Thanks Herb for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
I just bought a 17 caravan it has less than 6oo miles it seems like it's making hard shifts ,owners manual say transmission is in learning stages while new is there any truth to this they say it will straighten out as m I re miles are driven, plus salesman said leave it out of echo mode first 3000k is this bullshit?
One thing that I will say about this trans is that there will always be a hard shift from time to time. Sometimes an upshift and sometimes a down shift. Its a normal characteristic for this trans and nothing that can be adjusted or replaced to change it. Its been a complaint since day one when it came out and still to this day I heard customers mention it. There is nothing wrong and may get better with software updates but for the most part.....normal for this trans. The driving in ECO is just a crap answer from them. Typical sales person response. I prefer to tell you straight and not sugar coat or make promises. There will be some learning for sure but you will always feel something at different times no matter what. Thanks Michael for watching and for the question.
I got a dodge journey 2013 whit 62TE transmission and give me 2 codes P0846 and P0733 at auto part store tell me that was a "TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR " I just want to know where it's located...
Chrysler recommends to never never change oil or removing the oil pan a sealed a unit and uses lifetime oil can damage trans if it is removed
Garry Humphries On the 62te trans in this video.....it’s serviceable and has a filter that’s replaceable. This is not a filled for life trans. There is a service interval.
Can this be done without taking the transmission out?
Yes it can. I just filmed the one on the stand so you could see everything clearly
@@MotorCityMechanic ok thanks
@@stevenredlon4544 your welcome
Could this also cause limp mode?
I dont think I have seen it do that but its possible being that its trans related. Typically I see a no crank issue. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic Thanks, will do. Our van has the occasional issue of not cranking and a few weeks ago suddenly went into limp mode. Gave a code for solenoid b. I replaced the solenoid pack but its still in limp mode and have the same code but also one for the range sensor. A trans tech told me it's more than likely the pcm. Thanks again. Good video.
I have the 3.8L what is the best way to get that crossover pipe out of the way?
Really not many options other then unbolting it and taking it out the way. Its just to tight from what I remember to get that pan to come out. Been a long time since I did one on a 3.8 and I could be wrong but I still think that pipe has to come off. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
I'll comment on here for other viewers once I get it off lol. The front was easy, but I've been trying all kinds of things on the back
Its tight for sure and a pain......glad that I dont see many of those anymore
I ended up getting the top bolt on the backside of the the pipe off with a breaker bar. I never did get the bottom bolt off, but I was able to tilt the crossover pipe up(with only the backside, bottom bolt in) enough to get the throttle body and solenoid out. I have to go back on the road tomorrow, for a few weeks, so I haven't had the chance to put it back together yet. I'll post another update once I get it back together, to let people know if it can be done without taking the whole crossover pipe off
P.S. I'm replacing my solenoid, not my range sensor
Does the range sensor have anything to do with the backup lights not working? I have no power to the bulbs.
Did you end up figuring the back up lights out mine are on even if the car is turned off?
