    Thank you so much for this video. I had been quoted thousands to replace the transmission in our 2006 Pacifica with only 74K miles. I conducted the test as you described to verify the issue... I bought a new alternator and was back on the road again! This really helped my Family because both our cars were down.

    Just want to extend an extreme thank you for this video. You saved us hundreds of dollars on my 2006 Pacifica. We had the codes and had bought the new output speed sensor and replaced it. We were looking at a transmission shop for more than the car was worth! Your "test" was perfect and our new alternator is making the transmission run perfect! Thank you again and again for making this video.

    I wished I had seen your video a week or two ago. I ended up spending $350.00 replacing the speed sensors and not getting the problem solved and later taken to the dealership and getting a diagnostic for them to tell me the alternator was the problem. This is very helpful. Thank you very much.

    Thank you so very much I just saved $$$$ because I own this vehicle and my wife drives it to and from work daily. It has been in the shop twice before and given us problems and had the p0720 error code both times. Your video saved us from getting took again. The technician was about to stick us for a transmission job till I saw your video and showed him at the garage. My 2005 Pacifica was doing exactly what the video was showing so I got him to replace the alternator, problem solved. Thank you!!!!

    The P0720 code has been coming up on my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica for the last month and I was told by my mechanic it may be Transmission related. I'm so glad I found your video as my car is doing the same thing with the speedometer. I will try disconnecting the alternator and see if that works and will have that replaced. Thank you so much!

    You are my new hero. I had the codes read a Auto zone and sent my wufe to the garage thst does most of the work that I can't take care of. They didn't even look at be cause they don't do transmission work and refered to trans shop. Trying to get an idea what I might be looking at cost wise I started to research and ran across your vide. The symptoms were exactly as you said and the test results too. I asked the shop to test the alternator. But they said they couldn't be sure the problem would be fixed by changing the alternator. Anyway they wanted $600 for the job.I decided to get the part and change it myself saving $400. Everyone told me I was crazy but the car runs and shifts better than ever.

    Crazy this only has 67 views when this the most straight forward explanation I've come across before. Same issue, 2006 dodge stratus, P0720 and P0700. Replaced both input and output speed sensors and didn't fix the issue. I saw another website mention the alternator and checking for bad diodes. This is the ONLY youtube video I saw that mentioned anything about the alternator.

      Yes it was the alternator, I had it checked today and it came back with a failed diode reading. I replaced the alternator and I am struggling with one coolant line bolt. So I should have it up and running tomorrow and I will be able to confirm if it ends up clearing all the codes and issues.

    I did what you suggested and got the same results. My other questions are; I had a local auto parts store run a code scan. These were the codes in order. P0720, P0700, P0732, P1790, and P1684 all confirmed. In your opinion, do you think, replacing the alternator is a starting point? Also, see my question on replacing the alternator.

    From one tech to another, excellent video. I have a few customers with them and I would have never thought the alternator could cause that problem. I can't imagine how that would be wired to cause that issue with the transmission.
    I replaced a catalytic converter on one yesterday, and the top nut snapped the head of the stud. I'm certain you know how that went.

    • @MotorCityMechanic

      +Marc Smith I'm sure there is a reason for the alternator causing that but i can't personally say for sure. Possible erratic voltage reading due to defective alternator?

    Driving my 07 Caravan down the road, something suddenly started howling like a wolf, battery light, MIL light came on and trans defaulted to second gear. I suspected the alternator. I pulled over opened the hood and the alternator was smoking and glowing inside. I have never in 47 years in the trade heard and alternator howl that loud. Must be a Denso thing. :-) I unplugged it and drove 10 min. home. The trans worked fine.

    Have you ever had a Pacifica with the fluctuating fuel gauge problem? Where as, at half a tank the gauge suddenly drops to empty then returns to half, again and again. Low fuel light on and off and alarm bell sounds. The fuel system is complicated. Saddle tank with two fuel modules.

    • @MotorCityMechanic
      @MotorCityMechanic  6 років тому

      Its not a common issue that I have run across. Checking thru the service bulletins doesnt pull any thing up related. It may come down to reading the data to make sure the data matches the reading on the cluster. If they match then you may need to replace with level units.

      You verified the issue by disconnecting it. Is the alternator charging....sure it is, but its causing an issue in the electrical system causing the speedo issue.

      The code P0700 is always found in the PCM (powertrain control module) and means one thing....that there is a code in the TCM and that you need to go to the TCM to retrieve the code. That is where we will find the cause of your symptoms. You need access to a scanner that can retrieve codes from modules other then just the PCM, ABS, or Airbag like simple code readers do.
