You can try erasing the code in the ECM/ But that's not where the problem is . You need to have the transmission control module checked for DTC'S -diagnostic trouble codes . When a vehicle goes into limp mode it usually means a shift solenoid is bad , shorted etc.

Incorrect information the code is because of a system malfunction and that is what is causing the shift problem. Resetting the code does nothing. Your code is transmission control circuit malfunction.

SOURCE: 2002 chrysler town and country wont leave limp mode

try getting a new shift solenoid for it. i had the same problem on my 2002 chrysler town and country and my plymouth breeze which is also a dodge product. it is very simple to do and doesnt take all that long. the part will probably run you about 150 to 200 dollars but it should fix your problem.

SOURCE: trans stuck in limp mode i'm getting a p1751 code

P 1751 Shift Solenoid" A" performance. The solenoid is part of the transmission valve body and yes if this solenoid fails you will get limp mode.The only solution is a new solenoid may be even the wires to it or even the transmission module

SOURCE: 1999 concorde. in limp mode with check engine

Change both sensors at the same time. Once you change that, have the computers reset. That will take your transmission out of safe mode. But speedometer must work to keep transmission out of safe mode. Input sensor lets transmission know when to change gears. If it gets no signal at all it changes to safe mode 1st and 2nd gear. Which runs your RPMs really high. If you drove a lot with it likes this. Once sensors are changed. Check transmission fluid while its running and on flat ground, make sure you use the right transmission fluid, wrong one could cost you a transmission.

Its not likely the transmission is causing the problem if both the speedo and tach are out. The tach does not involve the transmission.
Sounds more like a problem with the instrument cluster or the body computer.
You may have to get a used shop manual to get the wiring diagrams and testing procedures.

My dodge caravan 3.3L shows 5 malfunction codes what do they mean po455 po846 po500 po700 po732

P0455 = Evap leak monitor large leak detected.
This code usually means the gas cap may have been loose or needs the rubber gasket.

P0500 = No vehicle speed sensor signal.
Vehicle speed sensor is located on the transmission near one of the axle shafts (it may need replacing).

P0700 = EATX controller DTC present.
This simply means you have transmission related codes.

P0732 = Gear ratio error in 2nd gear.
This code is of some concern, it means the transmission is slipping in 2nd gear. However the trans may be in limp mode due to the speed sensor code (limp mode means the trans starts out in second gear in order to at least get to a mechanic). The first thing I would do is have these codes cleared as there may be absolutely nothing wrong with the transmission (especially if you pull the trans dip stick and the fluid does not have a burnt smell. The vehicle should drive normally after that. If the check engine light comes back, have the codes scanned ASAP (before any other unrelated code sets). Chances are it may be the output speed sensor if this happens (easy fix). Hope this helps

Would like to know what the process is to reset the TCM on a 2002 dodge grand caravan, the van while driving it stays stuck in 2nd gear was told that the TCM needs to be rest i need th precdure how to rest...

if its stay in second speed the computer put the tramission in limp mode because there a problem in the trasmission you need to get your van pass on a scanner to see the code it could simply be the input or output sensor there sensor on the transmission and to reset that simply disconnect the battery for 2 minute after you see your trams will change all speed let me no and thanks for using fixya

My 91 dodge stealth is in limp mode how do i fix this transmission problem

Your car is in "limp"mode because the computer doesn't know what speed your doing,So it doesn't shift,
There are three possible reasons for this,
#1= input sensor faulty on transmission,
#2=output sensor faulty on transmission,
#3=speed sensor faulty on transmission,
you need to have the transmission codes read to know which one,Autozone checks codes for free.

THE INPUT SPEED SENSOR IS LOCATED JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE OUTPUT SENSOR..ABOUT 2-3 INCHES AWAY..SAME IDEA..2 WIRE PLUG AND IT UNSCREWS FROM TRANSMISSION..YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO REMOVE THE TRANS CONTROLLER AND BRACKET FOR ACCESS..I HOPE THIS HELPS

I have a Dodge 2000 Stratus, It is stuck in 2nd and the seedometer is dead, any ideas??

the most likely problem is a bad "vehicle speed sensor", the speedo is electric and not cable driven, it also could be why the vehicle is in 2nd! (limp mode). good luck, marty

1997 isuzu wizard mu check light

Code 24 is a vehicle speed signal sensor fault, the sensor most likely does not provide a useable signal until about 25 MPH, when the computer doesn't see any signal after that speed it turns on the light. Make sense?
