Trouble with the transmission solenoid 2000 dodge caravan. Automatic transmission. The check engine light code read Transmission shift solenoid. I need suggestions on how to fix this myself

Both error codes you have are transmission related. P0736 is an error for reverse has wrong gear ratio. P0700 is a general transmission problem code

for more information.

Transmission fluid pressure solenoid.If your scanner can read live data, view the transmission data to verify operation of solenoids. Some scanners could actually simulate or force activate solenoid operations. A product code of the transmission would help you to search for better answers.

have transmission shop check it out.make sure transmission fluid level correct.and filter been changed.but let transmission shop code scan for faulty shift solnoid second third gear.or check for faulty PCM or TCM could be problems in the governor pressure solenoid.need scanner to trouble shoot.

Hi there lov2trk. The first thing you need to do is take your truck to a auto parts store like NAPA or autozone to have the trouble code from the check engine light read. The large chain parts stores will read the codes for free. It sounds like you have some solenoid issues.

your shifter cable is going bad.

That code is low battery voltage on a chrysler

The transmissions available in your caravan are problematic for having a bad solenoid pack. Once the transmission is set in the LIMP IN mode, then you need to take it to a dealer to get the code reset from the transmission and to get it diagnosed properly. I'm sure there will be a code such as, "trans solenoid stuck in LR" which means " low range" if the transmission went into limp in mode, then that simply means it defaulted to second gear only. Which is telling you to have it looked at asap. I'm sure if you repalce the transmission solenoid pack and gasket and perform the re-learn procedure, then your problem will go away. good luck!

is the "CHECK ENGINE " light on?
what code.?

The electronic shift solenoids are serviced as an assembly that is quite easy to replace. Your fault codes are all related to shift solenoid faults.

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
