Is rpm at 4 means rpm at 4000. if so assuming everything is okey in the transmission. check your Vehicle Speed Sensor it looks like your not getting the signal which tells you computer to shift at overdrive when speed is over 50mph.

SOURCE: 1996 trouble codes are P1698 plus P0171 PLUS

P1698 = DRB display of: No CCD Messages from the TCM (Transmission Control Module) = No messages received from the TCM.
Basically the Transmission is not sending information or enough information to your Power Control Module. P0171 = DRB display of: Right Rear/or just Fuel System Lean (not enough) = A lean air/fuel mixture has been indicated by an abnormally rich connection factor. Either too much Air or not enough Fuel.
On the Transmission issue:
1. Check the Transmission Control Relay in the IPM (fuse box under the hood). On the cover should be the identification of where each relay is. This Relay may be bad. Does your Horn work? The Horn Relay and Transmision Control Relays should be the same. Change the Horn Relay and the Transmission Control Relay. Try your Horn now. Not working? The Relay is bad. If this is not the problem GO TO #2.
2. Check your Transmision Fluid ...Level?
3. When was the last time the fluid and filter were changed?.
4. Check the connection of the wiring harness to the Transmission Solenoid. Loosen the bolt (believe it is 8mm) holding down the wiring harness to the solenoid and pull up/off the connection. Check the wiring for connections, corrosion, pitting or burn marks.
On the Fuel Issue: there are many possibilities. Some are:
1. What gas was put in last? Using old gas (from a gas can) can cause this.
2. When was the last fuel filter changed?
3. When were the Fuel Injectors tested?

Testimonial: "Yes it was help full but in the end the main problem turned out to be the full pump but know i am having trouble with map sensor it gives me a code "

Bring it back to the transmission shop and have them test drive it with the scanner to see if the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) needs to be replaced. A worn TPS will case the transmission to have shifting problems, the TPE sends voltage signals to the PCM and will control the transmission shift points and firmness. If the TPS has a flat spot and the voltage is down at the point where the transmission needs to shift, there may be a conflict of shift program and needs to be addressed. Good luck and keep me posted.

Good Evening, I have a dumb question. have you cleared any current or history codes in the transmission? They will default with codes in the system. Also make note on what they are. If any and we can go from there, and yes tcm would be the next place to go but more info is best as far as codes and such.

Where is the TRANSMISSION INPUT SPEED SENSOR?

so did not check all fuses first?
then scan the PCM for all transmission DTC errors first?
oops.
1999 dodge durango 5.9L (46RE TRANS i GUESS)
there is no , in or on tranny input speed sensor
the PCM uses ENGINE RPM for that. (crank sensor RPM, CKP)
if you scan the PCM you will not see DCT error for input speed sensor there is none.

Trouble Code: P0753 (5.9L V8 VIN Z Auto)
A/T 3-4 Solenoid/Transmission Relay Circuit Failurenone there below. but sure CKP is. crank speed
and SOL 2 and gov pressure, are key.

99-undefined-undefined-0.jpgSOLENOID 2 bad? above.
why are you not scanning it first. for DTCs
what if governor pressure signals are wrong. pin 29
what if the scan told you it was. likethis.
examples

A/T Check Shifter Signal Circuit Malfunction''
Trouble Code: P0715 (5.9L V8 VIN Z Auto)

lots more on gear errors
then
Trouble Code: P0748 (5.9L V8 VIN Z Auto)
A/T Governor Pressure Solenoid/Transmission Relay Fault783 is last one. lots of P07 errors on this box
all covered in the service manual in detail.
learn that some cars the PCM has what are called virtual or derived sensors, like engine load is (used to shift too)
and inputs speed, is CKP sensor and ABS the 4 sensors abs are averaged to do speed.(mph)
but in this case it is crank speed CKP
no PCM schematic shows any ISS at all

one can not fix modern cars lacking a SCAN tool, USA OBD2 .

recap and conclusions. electronic shifted trans. TCM
not getting 3rd gear has many causes:
I'd hazard a guess that pump output pressure and regulator are working in the box. (1 >>2shifts ok)
3rd gear solenoid not dead?
and the lies told by governor pressure sensor, makes the TCM shift wrong (computer GiGo logic) caused.
3rd gear servo piston dead.
or some odd Limphome mode, (iDK them all) (ignoring DTC errors? ) Some trans in limp slip a gear.
The governor must see tail shaft speeds correctly or it will not up-shift all the way.

a scan tool can be bought or rented. or ask others to scan it, any shop can, or some Autostores can
there is no reason no to scan it after fuses check, unless 3 gear is needed to get there (hummmmmmm)
$100
also the tool pays for it self (it's free man) the first $100 in labor not spent,. amazing facts no?
a real scan tool not $20 lame code reads,
a real tool see all Dodge codes.
cheaper readers only show DTC errors only with "CEL lamp ON"< , P07xxx code (7 means transmissions errors)
better tools start at %100

the engine too, is bad. but id fix that first because the tranny brain
uses,. 4 engine sensors to run'

why not read that.?
connect scan tool $9 tools work, and scan the PCM. (ask)

how to scan your old TCM now.
here is lots for free books on this car.

the PCM when scanned will report 10 unique DTC errors
for the transmission.
and VSS, ECT, TPS, and CKP sensors must be good or
the tranny will fault.

Does the ECM control the MPH gauge?

well yes but no,the speedometer signal comes from speed sensor in the transmission then goes through the ecm/pcm via the tcm (transmission control module, then on to your speedo,if the speed sensor goes bad usually the speedometer will work crazy if not at all also the instument clusters also go bad causing failure too find a new tech dude

Fault code 000C

Hi Mati:
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) TCM-000C is stored if the control module detects that the vehicle speed and engine speed (RPM) signals do not correspond with the programmed values and that an "incorrect" gear is being used in relation to the calculated gear. This is because solenoid S2 is stuck in open or closed position.

Diagnostic Codes: 000C, 002A, 002B, P0733, P0734, P0756
Tests/Procedures:
1. Clear codes from the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
2. With fluid hot, check transmission fluid for quality and level.
3. Test drive the vehicle. Accelerate from 20-60 MPH when in geartronic mode, gear 4. While doing this, watch input and output speed sensors with a scan tool.
4. If the code returns, the transmission is slipping, and the input and output speed sensors are updating, the problem is internal to the transmission.
5. If transmission is replaced, test ATF for coolant contamination per TNN 43-48. Replace radiator if necessary.

Potential Causes: Transmission Mechanical Problem

Tech Tips:
TCM-002B 4th gear. Incorrect gear ratio. This code sets when the actual gear ratio deviates by more than 10% of what is programmed into the TCM.
TCM-002A 3rd gear. Incorrect gear ratio P0756 - TCM-000C - Shift solenoid S2, hydraulic malfunction If the transmission is replaced, be sure the mating surfaces between the engine and transmission are bare metal and clean. If not, the engine may not start after assembly.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

  • Customer may complain of intermittent 4th gear operation
  • O/D and 2/4 pressures less than 75 psi
  • O/D or 2/4 clutch volume indexes out of specification
  • O/D accumulator seals are damaged
  • Transmission enters "limp in" mode running in 4th gear

Trouble Code-P0735 (A/T Gear Ratio Error Fourth Prime)

Trouble Code Conditions:
Vehicle driven any forward Gear, and the TCM detected the ratio of the Input speed to the Output Speed did not match the current Gear Ratio (this test can take up to 5 minutes).
Possible Causes:
  • Related Gear Ratio trouble codes may be stored (note that some of these Gear Ratio trouble codes may be intermittent)
  • Transmission has internal problems or damage present
You have a transmission problem.Hope this helps, James Booth

P0700, P0750 and P0755 codes I was driving at 65 mph and the 2003 Dodge Caravan down shifter to low gear and the check engine light came on. It will not ship to high gear.

P0700 (M)
Check Transmission DTC's
This code indicates that the EATX (Transmission controller) has an active fault and has illuminated the MIL via a BUS message. The specific fault must be acquired from the EATX via a DRBIII tool. (Input or Output Speed Sensor failures often cause this code and are a common failure part on WJ Grand Cherokees

P0750
Shift Solenoid circuit.
Note: If code P1767 (Transmission Relay Always On) is also present: Replace transmission solenoid assembly. See note provided. When transmission is in limp mode the relay that provides power to the solenoid group is switched off. This is normal and is designed to provide operation in one gear only. Engineering department suggests to replace transmission solenoid assembly anytime these two trouble codes occur together. See applicable service manual section (21) for solenoid assembly replacement directions. IMPORTANT: When performing this repair always check torque on all valvebody accumulator cover plate screws. Proper torque specification is 70 inch pounds. If any accumulator cover plate screws are damaged or missing replace the valvebody assembly. NOTE: If any other trouble codes are present do not replace solenoid assembly. See test in the applicable Transmission Diagnostic Procedures Manual
