Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P1715 will set when a mechanical failure of the SSB shift solenoid is detected. When the SSB solenoid is stuck off, the symptoms will be incorrect 3rd gear ratio or no 3rd gear. When the SSB solenoid is stuck on, the symptoms will be 1st gear ratio incorrect or no 1st gear. The diagnosis procedure directs to check for other DTCs; if there are no additional DTCs for the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) or other shift solenoids, then to replace with a new solenoid and/or valve body.

Replace the neutral safety switch/ range selector switch. This should take care of both codes. Mounted on the transmission under where the shift cable connects.

Inductive Signiture Chip Communication Error

The PCM has lost communications with a sensor that monitors devices such as relays, solenoids and coils. It's usually an indication that the PCM is faulty.

There is some excellent information that you can look at if you go to the following forum:

It means shift solenoid B inductive signature. Basically, the van is not able to properly control it's shifts due to either an electrical problem leading in to the transmission solenoids or due to an internal transmission issue. This is not something you really want to mess around with. The transmission sounds like it is basically in 'fail-safe' mode meaning that it is trying to protect itself even though there is a problem in the system. I highly recommend you get it to a shop ASAP so that you minimize the damage.

That code is low battery voltage on a chrysler

p1715 = Manufacturer control transission

Is it due for a trans oil and filter change?

This is the code for -

'Inductive Signature Malfunction'
(It's a gearbox/transmission code)

Thats the code, what you do with it is up to you!

Hope this helped.

There are several things that can cause the flashing light. sometimes a simple fix is the change the RABS, this sensor is on the rear differiential and is not too expensive. Change it. Pull th epositive cables off of your batteries fro 15 minutes. Hook them back up and see what happens.
