- Transmission overheat indication is time for alarm, but let's check things out that it is a true indication of a problem. My video will help guide you to check some key areas of your transmission to determine if there is a true problem or false indication. I have a way to reset the false indication if that is the case.

Sam thank you so much buddy. You made life so much easier in one video than every expert out there working for the parts department & don't even know it or not even getting paid to do so. If you know what I mean. I think these 2005 Jeeps & a lot of the Dodge issues are nothing more than a programed glitches for.those who have more than 40,000 miles on there vehicles. After several thousands of hard earned dollars & the same issues over ,& over again I feel it's just a bad idea during 2005 - 2010 . Who's to say there not programed to give problems. Lol😢
@4
Fixed my shifting problems also. Thank you for this video
People like to talk crap about the WK models of Grand Cherokees, but I have the 2006 5.7 Limited like the one in this video and it's been the best money Ive ever spent. 281k miles on the original engine and transmission and transfer case. Of course it's required minor maintenance over the years, but nothing out of the ordinary. Cant comment on the V6 versions, but the Hemi has been great
Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience. Very helpful.. please ignore the inappreciative trolls who left negative comments.
Thank you so very much my friends thank you that was one of the best video I ever watched in a long time
My first UA-cam comment. I followed the steps outlined in this video and it remedied two things: the “transmission over temp” and rough shifting in 1st and 2nd gear. Truly amazing. Saved hundreds maybe thousands of dollars. Thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment. I am so glad this worked for you, along with the bonus fix. You will find pulling the disconnect plug resets the Jeep computer. This will fix a lot of software problems in vehicles. Use it when things don’t work right. Now subscribe to my channel for future help.
You want a cake 🎂
@@christianvelazquez6730u sure do
Awesome video! Thank You so much for the info! Resetting the computer worked, I was able to start up my 07’ Jeep Commander.
Glad it helped
Your the man sir..that helped me alot
Thank you friend. I have the same light pop up on my Jeep Commander from time to time while vitals look healthy. However the code is stored in the system and I will have to try the fuse trick and hopefully be able to use the factory remote start again. Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks so much for your walk thru fix, it worked!! :-)
Thanks I think you found my problem saving me a boatload of money.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, when I saw this alarm come in for the first time, I thought $$$$ transmission trouble. I know the Jeep ECU is a computer and like all computers, they get glitches and give wrong results. I wanted to first know if the fluid was burnt or discolored and also the tranny fluid level, when both were perfect, I just disconnect power to the ECU and power here down and back up, glitch gone. It will come back possible, just do the same checks. It will clear and keep some bad repair guy from ripping you off. This is a problem that people could make a lot of money off of. I hope all will see my video before they take it into a shop. I am so glad it helped you, I feel good.
This man had the best solution to the that problem about the overheating of the transmission reset that use the computer got rid of the code for me I cannot speak for anybody else but it I like the information it was solid.
Mr. Owens you are an absolute lifesaver took the fuse out put it back in Went for a drive really gave it some gas Transmission overheat light did not come on.!!!!
That is great! I know you are happy. You must also check the other things I mention in the video. The coolant level, the dip stick for proper transmission fluid level and important that the color is red or pink, not brown or discolored. Congrats to you!
Thank you very much. This is a very helpful video!!!
Thank you for the nice comment. A glitch can cause the alarm and recycling the power can restart the computer and you get rid of the alarm.
So… your solution is to check transmission fluid and pull the ASD relay. Fantastic diagnosis.
@Mike D, Yes you have my solution to this problem for the 2005 through 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L Quadra Drive II. These years have many problems that are difficult to diagnose. The Tranny Temp problem did not raise it's head until about 2019. Most all of the problems of the Jeep series problems I have through exhaustive research using cameras, taking relays apart and just plain tracing wires. I did not just guess at a solution, I have spent years working with my Jeep. Now for this problem, there are sensors that monitor most aspects of the operation of the Jeep. I have found, over my 78 years of working with computers, telephone central office trouble shooting, and just use of any device with a computer, it will get a glitch, a false sense and trigger a condition. I have found 90 % of these conditions can be solved just by recycling the power. In my video I tell folks to check the color of the tanny fluid to be pink and not brown. Brown indicates there may be heat issues. If it is not brown or dark, the problem may be a false sensor condition to the ECU which monitors all sensors. There are many reasons for false conditions, I will leave it there. Now, I inform my views to check the level of tranny fluid, which is very important for that can cause a overheating problem. I then inform the viewers to look in the forward fuse box and find the black fuse with ears pullers. This is the Storage disconnect for the 2005 Jeep GC. When you store the jeep for long times this disconnects the ECU and other power drain systems. This is not the automatic shutdown (ASD) fuse you said. The Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay controls the power supplied to the fuel injectors, ignition coil, oxygen sensor heater elements, and other parts of the power module. It does not shut down power to the ECU, I do not know where you got that indication from my video.
In conclusion, I want to help the folks that do not have a lot of money to spend on shops diagnosing a problem that may not be a problem. If I can help one viewer from being taken by some transmission shop from a new transmission when just recycling the power to the ECU will clear the problem. I feel my solution is within proper merits of first checks before you go to the "Cleaners Shop". Do I get an Amen from all the viewers that have had their problem cleared by my solution. If I am wrong let my views tell me, I need more than one.
You need to change the solenoid assembly the temp sensor is built in along with the range sensor. The transmission needs a quick relearn process for the new solenoid assembly. Best of luck.
Great video
Not long ago I purchased a 05 GC 5.7 Hemi and I have the same problem. Asap I'll try to do the reset that you say Sam, my transmission fluid has a nice red colour, looks the old owner changed the fluid.
Thx for the video.. had the same issue but unfortunately it didn’t work for me I had to replace the tcm and clear the check engine light 💡 knock on wood no problems since 👍 take care
what year of your Jeep ?
Thank you 🙏
whats the causes if pcm always damaged jeep wk 2005 5.7
....great job
Thanks for the video Mr. Owens. I have a Grand Cherokee 5.7 OVL 2006 that had this failure. The mechanic said that it was necessary to change the ECU (US$1000 ????) but I had doubts, because here in Brazil this type of service is very expensive. I'll check as instructed by him...
No that's a scam, probably a sensor should have nothing to do with your ECU that's insane.
You just need a $20 code reader to read and reset your cars codes.
i have jeep commander is seems??
Thank you sir… I tried that but still had the same issue with the temperature gauge going up and the check gauge light and transmission over heating light coming on. I changed the temperature sensor and that solved the problem 05 jeep GC wk
@Mauricio Garcia, Glad you looked more into the heat issue. My solution is only for the many folks that get a glitch that is not a true failure. Sounds like you had a sensor failure. I point out to all that you want to check thinks out carefully and not ignore discolored brown looking tranny fluid, or low levels of fluid. I am glad to hear you solved your problem and others may learn that the sensor is another place for failure if all indications is showing good. Thanks for your comments.
Hi Mauricio, I have a 05 GC wk 5.7 and I have the same problem with transmission fluid overheating. You say that you changed the temperature sensor, but which one? The refrigerant sensor or the transmission fluid has his own sensor? Thanks in advance
Thank you. 1 question should I have the Jeep running when I pull the PCM fuse or should it be off? Again thank you.
@infinitoutdooradventures2240 thanks for your comment. You should have ignition off when putting the fuse.
Thanks 👍
This happened to me yesterday. All the gauges stopped working too; the speedometer, temperature gauge, nothing worked! It was kind of scary. My husband unhooked to battery cables and reset it. It was fine. Oh, also the a/c didn't work while that happened either.
The solution to this problem does not lie in the sensor or transmission oil. I have replaced all sensors and changed transmission oil with no success. The solution to this problem is to replace the PCM. Now my car is in good condition with the PCM replacement
Hi , I would like to thank you sir for this video ! I bought my son a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 and it had a slow leak sealing tranny fluid ! So I had a transmission tuned up and everything was fine for a few weeks until one the transmission overheat indicator came on ! Well I did exactly what you said and the problem has been resolved !
Hey this is the same problem I'm having for my 06 jeep commander but I just wanted to know if the car has to be on or off when you do this
Off. Disconnect battery if you can not find the fuse. Does the same thing.
The temperature rise in the automatic transmission is not from the transmission oil. This is a problem in many Grand Cherokee 2005_2010. The problem is in the PCM. It gives a wrong reading, but everything is fine in the car. The solution to this problem is to replace the PCM with a good or new one.
@northstar386, I totally agree with you, but most of the folks that own these old vehicles do not have the money to replace the PCM, I know that most all false sensor conditions can be reset by removing power from the PCM. I give them that option. I go through check the fluid and level, just in case someone may have a real problem. I try to give them economical solutions and still get them to check for real problems. Thanks you for your comments, they will help folks understand a little more. I find that the folks that find my video are on their last leg, they don't have the the money to have someone to look at the problem, but need the car to get to work. Your information will help them know when pulling the fuse no longer works, replace the PCM.
@@samowens44
You cannot give the wrong diagnosis, they will lose a lot of money with replacing spare parts, solving the problem of replacing pcm
@northstar386, you have said a misstatement about my video information. I suggest you make a video of the information you suggest. Replace the PCM if you get the Transmission Temperature Light to come on. Thanks for your input, I stand by pulling the fuse and if it clears, drive on.
@@samowens44
I got a PCM from eBay with programming on your car's VIN Easy to install from fs1inc You must send your car's PCM number
@@samowens44
Years passed, I was witnessing more than one video, and I went to more than one workshop, they did not discover the solutions, and a lot of changing the sensor and transmission oil, and what about the radiator and thermostat, did not solve the problem, my car was overheating the automatic transmission when turning the key, the engine, everything is normal, but when turning off the car engine and turning it on The key starts the automatic transmission counting 3 instead of D but with changing the PCM my car works fine and does not give limp mode 3 and does not give the automatic transmission temperature rise
will disconnecting positive terminal do the same thing?
@Kevin Jack yes disconnect one terminal of battery will do the same thing.
My brothers 2006 Jeep grand cherokee changes speed PERFECTLY when its driven for 5min, and after that it doesn't go above 130kmh, it's kinda stuck in third gear.
Is there any option what can cause that or??
I would be more than THANKFUL if someone knows anything
I do not have an answer for the shifting problem you describe. I think you need to have a transmission place review this problem, I am sure they will have an idea of what it could be. There is a lot of communications between the ECU and the controler of the transmission to tell it when to properly shift. They will have the diagnostics to find the problem. I don't think you can fix this on your own. Good luck.
Wish I had seen this sooner.
Sorry to hear that, hope this will help others monitor their fluid color and level. Recycle power and i think it is a false indication. So far after a month of driving. It will come in occupationally, but will reset and not come in for days. My coolant temp never shows a rise in temps indication, so the trans fluid cooler is located in front of the radiator.
Now I know how to confirm its not the transmission.
@@samowens44 @ so the TOT light " may not " related to transmission problem ? wow ! wonder car factory why can't find any better words ?
What does turning the AC off have to do with the temperature of your transmission oil...?
@Ahmed Gannat, thanks for that question. Let me explain. The radiator in most all cars has Transmission coils that run thru the whole radiator along with the coolant fluids in their tubes. This helps cool the transmission of the heat. Now the AC has a separate coil that cools and condenses the fluids in the AC unit. This unit in mounted in front of the Radiator. So when you AC is on, the coils product extra heat that hits the radiator. If there is a problem with the transmission, the AC should be turned off if there is a heat alarm on the transmission. This will just help till you can get it into a shop to get checked out. Hope this helps.
@@samowens44 I just took my front grill off to verify. I too had a suspicion that if trans fluid was being run through the rad tank it may be the culprit. But now I see Trans cooler and AC condenser are a combined unit in front of the Radiator.
where is the temperature sensor located on a 2006 jeep commander?
I don’t know the location of temp sensor. Try Google is what I would do.
Hello, when you checked the fluid level, was the engine hot? And engine should be running?
The engine must be running when you check the fluid level. First crank in the morning, you should let the engine run for a few min to get fluid moving then check level. It can be checked hot and you will get the same reading. Always look at the color for nice pink and not brown or black.
Ok how high should the the oil be in the transmission
Well I did exactly what you said to do my transmission fluids full it’s a pretty red color I pulled that fuse thing up the black thing clip waited put it back in it still says transmission over temp
Joe you may have a real heat problem or the temp sensor may be bad. My solution only works if the problem is a glitch in the ECU and is not a real problem. You may want to disconnect the Positive battery terminal for about 5 minutes just as one last thing to do. You may have pulled the wrong fuse.
Okay tomorrow I’ll give it a shot I know I did not fold the wrong fuse I watched your video twice thoroughly to make sure I pulled the right one mines a 2006 jeep grand Cherokee it’s not the first one but the second one in your video you showed exactly which one it was and that’s the one I pulled so I’m trusting in you and me I appreciate your help I’d rather ask you questions and do stuff then take it to a shop because they will rip you off if you know what I mean I’m sure you do I appreciate everything you do for the jeep I’ve never owned one I’ve only had this one for about eight months so I’m kind of new at the jeeps thanks again
@@joediehl3395 Good, the Battery terminal removal will do the same thing as pulling the fuse. The Tranny temp sensor would be the last thing to replace before you take it in. I do not know where it is located. Just keep a look at the fluid cooler, as long as it is pinkish and not dark, you are safe. Good luck, the repair shops like to trouble shoot by replacing the transmission right off the bat! and that would get the sensor replaces as it is on the transmission somewhere.
will this work on the 3.7 just got the code today while i was parked and idling cleared it from dash like you did then it came back on about 3 minutes later cleared it again then drove about 15 minutes home with no issues and nothing felt wrong gonna follow your steps in morning and pray it works
@vScreen, try it for sure, can't hurt.
Did this work for you?
I had same issue on my 06 commander however mine after few times of coming on and going off then shut truck off and wouldn't start had to wait 20 mins before would crank back up. I checked my codes and threw only 0700. After driving few more days every so many feet it would shut off n wouldn't crank had to do this 3 hours before making it home. What could it possibly be?
I have the same issue with my 06 commander as well. Hope someone can help you out.
Will this work for the 4.7?
Yes, it should work if the problem is a glitch. Follow the video checks I outline.
So pull the fuse when the car is off i would assume?
Yes.
And Ummm😄 this helped me
I am so happy it worked for you. Thanks for telling me.
This will probably work for me my mechanic keeps reset my computer but not like the way you showed I wonder why this is so common with jeeps must be a manufacturing issue
@jaybrick8973, the Jeep has been plagued with many computer software issues. The best way to handle them is to reset like I show you. Pulling the power to the ECU, computer, is like powering down your computer and letting it restart. It corrects most problems that happen due to this nature. Jeep just has not spent the time or money to redesign the software. Mechanic shops are getting rich resetting the computer with their diagnostic tools. It is a crime. Good luck on you jeep solutions, look at my youtube when you have a problem, I have found a solution to all of them and have a video of how to solve it.
Just take out the fuse, and now my radio dont work... obviously put them back
After some time has passed, did the issue ever come back?
Yes, I cleared it the same way again.
Ok, well thanks for the reply. How often did the problem come back?
I would say about 4 more times over a year's time. Each time, my procedures of checks and fuse pulling solved the issue. I think it is a software issue that gets a false sensor signal. so just reset it and keep going.
@@samowens44 thanks for this gonna try tomorrow.
@@karadanvers6136 Now if you can not find the fuse I show, just disconnect on side of the Battery and it will do the same thing. Just want to help you from getting stalled. It works 98% of the time if the problem is a Jeep glitch like most are.
Thanks buddy 👍
My 06 doesnt have a transmission dip stick
I have not heard of no dip stick so can not advise. I would say do a google search to fink the answer.
It has one it's just yellow not red. Pop the hood and look at the back of the engine on the passenger side you'll find it there
@@Storked my ‘08 doesn’t have one either. You have to buy one at an auto store. I had to order one recently because I got a message on my ‘08 that my Transmission is over temp. I also listened to what Sam said very carefully in regards to the color of the fluid. It should be red/pink not brown or black. I’m hoping that once I’m able to see the color then I’ll know for sure what the problem is before I reset the ECM.
@@Dragonesa41083 @ i have 2009 Jeep GC , where you can buy that loooong dip stick ?
Where the reset button I have a 2002
@Jonathan Duncan, if you do not have the disconnect fuse I demonstrate. I tell you to disconnect the positive battery lead for about 20 sec and reconnect. That does the same thing. It is just easier to pull the disconnect. You may not have one on your car.
Mine wont start . same problem but it will be like this for a month and then it will go away grrrr .
@DFWTF, do you mean, the car will crank over but not start, or not turn over at all, but just hear click. This is very important to know as to how to have you trouble shoot the problem. Look through my video playlist of Jeep Problems and you will find a number of video that show how to trouble shoot a no start problem.
The best thing you can do to any transmission add a transmission cooler,if it has a transmission cooler get a bigger one.
No
@@allgunzsblazen really,so what should you do?
First, nothing is better then oem. Fix the problem with oem equipment. Why add performance parts to a factory car? Makes other oem parts work harder.
@@allgunzsblazen almost every automatic transmission is running hotter then it should.As a 20 year car tec I speak from experience.You have a lot of faith in OEM.All parts from china
. Maybe on something prior to 94 lol.. . Do to the astecicts. But again bad info.
33 years automotive engineering at Honda America.. And again more bad advice. Most genuine OEM parts are American made while aftermarket parts are outsource to other countries. I would definitely check your sources on that I fo you give.. You can be liable..
My gear stuck on 3.
Pls.why ???
Nasser I have seen this problem once. Pull the battery terminal off for 10 sec and replace it. There may be a glitch and this will reset your control module for the Transmission. It is the only thing I can suggest and it may work.
I just fixed my buddies 06 jeep commander that was also stuck in 3rd gear. I had to replace transmission solenoid which u have to remove trans pan and trans valve body in order to do it. There are some videos on here that show u how to do it if needed. U can buy trans solenoid with new pan gasket and filters on Amazon for approximately $230. Buddies jeep now runs great and shift perfect. Took about 3hrs to do but should of taken 2 hrs( it was 20 degrees F outside ) not hard job at all if u have tools which is 8mm plus swivel adapter etc for pan bolts and torx bits for valve body and solenoid removal + plus trans filter has one torx bolt to remove.
Folks, 2 Wheel rider sounds very knowledgeable in transmission repair. I just suggest doing my suggestion first to be sure it is not a software issue. Good luck.
I had to replace the valve body and solenoid inside the the transmission oil pan. Not too hard to fix. Took less than an hour
@@metalupyour69 Thanks for your input to my viewers trouble with an unrelated trouble to my video. It is great to see others come to the rescue for others with a problem they have experience with.
Do you leave the car on in neutral and pull the fuse out while the car is on?
@Charlie Vlaenzuela, you do not want the car running or ignition on with you pull the Disconnect. You want the Jeep off and in park. Good Luck.
thanks , i almost missed this important part ,
i changed the transmission fluid next day , first time after 170, 000 miles, i hope that is my answer
@@xuchun5371 how is the car running after changing fluid? I've been advised not to change the fluid at that hight mileage if it has never been done as is this case with my Jeep at 157k
@@xuchun5371 how is it running?
I’ve been advised to not have the fluid changed because the mechanic feels that this is maybe why my ‘08 Jeep Grand Cherokee runs so well.
I highly doubt it ever had its transmission fluid changed in its 14 years. I also don’t believe the mechanic either.
@@Dragonesa41083 @ my 2009 Jeep GC transmission is sealed ( suppose the fluid is for life time as i heard ) , my next move is check all the fuses.
show me witha tester that there is power or ground on that specific fuse. I doubt it! in my 2006 jeep grand cherokee , that fuse is a extra or spare. for many this may not be tha case, but for me ,this video is not acuarte.
I sold my 2005 Jeep. The fuse I am referring to is a black pull up disconnect. The main thing this does is disconnects power to the ECU. Just disconnect the battery if you have a issue with the fuse. That will clear the problem as well. Folk, if you can not find the fuse I tell you, just disconnect the battery. I think the fuse is much easier. In your owners manual the fus is called “Storage Disconnect “.
It didn’t work for me! ☹️
@Juan Martinez you could have a problem with the sensor, or a real temp problem.
video begins @6:16
@karadanvers6136 Yes, folks you can skip to the 6:16 part of video, but for the folks that know very little about anything under the hood and don't want to miss a real problem, please watch all of the video. This quick fix is if you don't have some of the indications I explain in the preceding 6 min and 15 sec. The overheating problem on your transmission could be real and if you ignore and just do what I tell you in the corrective action, you could cause your transmission to burn up due to a real problem. Please folks, do not just pull the fuse and reinsert without viewing all of my video!!
Just because the tranny fluid is brown doesn't necessarily mean it has an overheating problem. All fluid over time turns brown and you need fresh fluid. Most recommend a fluid change every 50,000 miles. Many people never change their fluid and causes many problems. I like how people will mess with stuff, end up erasing the code and then end up at ths shop and they have nothing to go by because you erased it. You may have gotten lucky here but I won't be surprised if the warning comes back!
If it is a problem the code will come back up. Him resetting it is not going to change that.
Damn you take forever to explain things
You can always fast forward. Did my information help? Thanks for watching.
How rude of you to criticize someone who is giving you info for free. Perhaps you might wanna go to the dealer so you can get shafted. After that experience, maybe you’ll experience the kind sir who is giving of his personal time to help people fix their issues without losing an arm or a leg.
Who forced you to watch it? Sucka 😐
God get to the point already
The Transmission overheating indication is a big problem with a lot of Jeep Owners. I can tell by the large amount of hits on my video. I create most all my video for the person that has very little knowledge of how to trouble shoot a problem like this. Most have never pulled a dip stick out or know what a correct reading is. I take a long time explaining some of the most basic stuff. I know my audience needs the detail and for experience folks, my video will be long winded sounding. For those folks, just quick run through with the slider to get to the main points you are looking for. I think there are more folks that want and need a lot of the basic details. From the watch time on my video, this is the most watch percentage of all my video. So I am looking at it as a huge success with helping the folks with little knowledge of an automobile.

You have a thermostatically controlled valve in your transmission lines the thermostat in it goes bad that's why your transmission is heating up
Do you know if a 2004 Dodge Dakota would have this same type of valve?
