- Code P0755 - Limp mode - replacement of shift solenoid body on 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan
Update: Just under two years later and the van is still running well. This was the issue on our van and this did fix our “limp” issue. Thanks to all who have watched, commented, and added helpful input!
Thank you for posting this video. It's going to help me to fix my son's caravan.
What is reason Ur replacing it?
Can you do mine?
Just completed this it was awful but it worked and this video helped thanks.
Glad it worked for you. It was definitely a pain! Thanks for the feedback!
I Have to do mine next week. Funny thing is the solenoid didn't even go into limp mod. It just stopped in the middle of the road. Thanks for the info on the caskets.
Thank you so much you're amazing
Thank u so much. I have been in limp mode for a year. Trans specialist told me it was 5k for a new Trans. Such bullshit.
I have an 09, Chrysler town and country 3.8 v6, touring, 25th anniversary. Does have close to 193,000 miles. Im 2nd ower. Van is from Florida. Van has had two transmission flushes from 1st owners. They never beat on this van. It was my grandparents van... one night on my way home from work, i took off from a red light in town, it took of fine, shifted into second gear fine, i notice the RPMs are climbing and not shifting to 3rd gear. I let off the gas thinking it would go in third gear. It idles down like its in neutral,🤔. I step back on gas and it revs back up till it catches same spot in second gear. When this happens, some times it will take off from a stop in second gear but i can let off gas pedal, and press it a little further and I can feel it drop down in first gear and it will shift fine. Other times i have no choice but to pull it over, put van in park, shut the van off all the way, restart the van right back up without waiting, put in drive, and it will shift through all the gears like its brand new?!? When i do restart it, and take off again, it shifts very smooth, dont miss any gear, dont stick in any gear, it shifts perfectly then! Then it might not act up with not shifting problem for another day, other times it might do the same thing after two or three stop lights. Another thing i have noticed is where you can shift it manually.... (where you can pull shifter past drive, and shift up and down by hand ) will not work when it acts like this, it wont even show on dash thats its in 2nd gear. Nothing shows at this point. I'm stuck between the issue being a speed sensor, shift solenoid, or i have heard of a computer/brain for the transmission... most of these components are a little out of my price range since my kids and I lost their mother from a drunk driver taking her from us Dec, 15th 2018. So any extra cash goes to keeping kids and i under a roof. So if anyone can let me know where the issue lays, I'd more then great full. I also do all my own mechanical work. I was raised on a junk yard and can safely say i personally never took my vehicle in a shop. I have took it to part stores and had them scanned, because its easier to trace some things down. Have took it to OReilly and plugged in obd2 but didnt really give me an answer to a specific part... thanks in advance for any advice. SO SORRY FOR TYPING A DAMN CHAPTERS BOOK!! Just tried to get as many details in here for people who can help me understand this on-going issue...😒
I have the exact same issue on my '13. I was hoping that the solenoid replacement in the video was the key to fixing this but would love to hear some confirmed cases of this working.
Hope a 2010 is the same. Thanks for for posting.
Would’ve been better to visually see what you were talking about.🤷🫠
I appreciate the video. You didn't have to post. I am not sure it is my problem, since I have a different code and am stuck in 5th or 6th, but I might explore this thought with a mechanic I know. My code says replace the oil pump.
I’m dealing with same issue, stuck in 1st or 2nd, throwing the oil pump code
@@wesleystanden2574 I changed my oil and filter after finding that if they are dirty you can throw that code. It worked for awhile. I am going to try doing my pump Monday.
@@nasoj21 yeah, I’m going to be getting a solenoid, if it doesn’t work I’m selling the van
Dreading this. Gotta get the transmission solenoid pack and TCC this payday. Can’t afford mechanic right now. Gonna use your video as a guide. Hopefully I can do it lol
Totally understand where you’re coming from. Definitely recommend having someone to help you so one of you can work from the top and one from the bottom. Definitely makes things way easier. Good luck! Hope it goes smooth for you!
hey how’d it go ? I gotta replace mine and i’m gonna try and fix this myself, so i would appreciate it if you could tell me how it went for you.
@@agustinnaranjo1924 the overall replacement was easy. I struggled with the three metal tubes that connect the solenoid pack to the inner transmission while removing it. Allow rtv to dry overnight.
I did order a transmission dip stick specifically for the van year/make.
Our van was on ramps and it stayed on ramps until the rtv was set.
I was on a budget so I just swapped the solenoid pack. I didn’t go the extra mile. Buy one quart of transmission fluid just in case. I didn’t need any, I think because our van was parked and on the ramps for 5 days before I started working on it, all the fluid settled to the bottom and back of the transmission.
Borrow or buy a torque wrench (inch/pound) don’t wanna over or under tighten anything transmission related.
Some videos show them testing it with a multimeter, my old one tested fine compared to the new one.
What would I do differently? I’d order the solenoid pack from Amazon. I needed asap so I got for the parts store. Getting from the store, they’ll ask for a core. Amazon is cheaper, parts store has it in stock.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for the tips ! 👍
@@agustinnaranjo1924 there is plenty of videos, I think watched 4 different ones while tackling this project.
Currently I’m doing the oil cooler job. I’m on pause atm for my kids basketball practice. I’m gonna hit it up in few minutes.
If you have Facebook, there’s a group called “Chrysler Town and Country owners” really great group. A lot of useful info and helpful people there.
Great video!
Thanks for the video
Thank you for posting,
will certainly help me save a bunch of money
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Might have missed it in the video but did you drain the trans fluid first? I had trans fluid spill out when I pulled the cover off . Probably a quart . Is that supposed to happen?
Thanks for sharing
Yes that will happen with any automatic transmission
I know it's been a long time since you uploaded this video. But Thanks for keeping it up. I'm facing the Same exact problem with a 2012 Caravan and it looks the same. I appreciate you !
I have a 2016 Grand Caravan with 85k miles. Yesterday I was driving and heard a whining sound. I was in a bad area at the time so I jumped on the highway, drove about 10 miles, and when I exited the highway, after coming to a stop, the van wouldn't go. It wasn't catching gears for a few seconds then finally caught gears enough to get it to the side of the road [no lights on dash]. I called a couple people, and decided to take a chance to go another 15 miles home. The ENTIRE TIME it would only go up to 2nd gear and sometimes wouldn't even do that. I finally got it home. There are still no warning lights on. I checked the trans fluid level with my scored oil dipstick [I learned to do this from other YT mechanics], and it read way too high. The fluid itself did not smell burnt and looked ok. I siphoned about 1.5 qt out to get it right at the top of the hot line. It's still having the same issue. Still no warning lights. This is our only vehicle. Advice would be MOST APPRECIATED. Thank you in advance!
Update: I disconnected the battery for a while and reconnected it. From what I read, that exited "limp mode." The van started to go then I heard the whining sound again, and the same thing happened [STILL NO WARNING LIGHTS ON]. I don't know how to diagnose it.
Update 2: After disconnecting the battery again, I finally got the van to throw code P083B
@@ourhousedeals5152 Did you ever get it fixed? I used to pull over and take the key out, eventually the problem went away with just warming the car up more before driving
@@pedroariza7892 What I did fixed the problem but a new engine code came on so I just sold the van.
I already replaced solenoid pack and sensor works good for about 10 miles .after that same problem again no shifting stays In first gear .
Anybody has an Ideal what can be.??
@@carlosg6184 ua-cam.com/video/aHyajCv-Fwg/v-deo.html
you don't have to disconnect the upper radiator hose, just lift the reservoir up out of it's clip on and then lower it down and remove from below. It's also easier by removing the battery and battery tray, not hard to do, gives you much more room to work...
Hi 👋 very helpful this video I am in U.K. I have same problem please can you tell me about P0755 this part how much it will cost. And also I have P083B fault code as well.
Thanks ❤️❤️
I got a Grand caravan 2008 I got a transmission from a salvage yard with the same VIN number do I have to program that transmission in that van Grand caravan 3.8 l
No you don’t need to. Good luck 🍀
Bro After I change Torque Converter and solenoid sensor I drove 10 km and car locked up in 3rd gear , can go only Parking mode N R and 3rd gear. 2011 3.6 caravan. What might be the problem? Is throwing p0774 code engine light on
I have a 2013 doge grand caravan thats stuck in limp mode. And its throwing a P0760 code overdrive solenoid contol circuit. Do you know which soliend this is or which one i have to change? The vehicle has 87,000 miles on it
So my trans pump was starving making bad whining noise and the started doing some funky shifting stuff I replaced filter and fluid took away the whining and it's accelerating fine so that fixed that problem however now I believe I'm in limp mode it will not shift would the car do that cuz the pump was starving. Do you know another way to reset the sensor and get it out of limp mode now that the original problem is fixed?
P1745?
Does limp mode show up on your dash or radio? I changed my radio, I can go over 45mph but passed that the engine works harder and the vehicle doesn't speed up can't go passed 60mph because I'm scared ill mess something up because the engine sounds loud for working so hard
Just had a check engine light that threw a code. Then the van wouldn’t let me drive much over 40. I could have pushed it faster but the rpm’s were so high I was afraid I would damage the engine.
@@kgpreacher7777 I have a 2010 vw routan. They have the same transmission but this year doesn't have a tcm. So I'm not getting any tcm codes just 1 engine related issues. But I think I will give it a try. Thanks for help bud have a great night.
Good luck. Hope it works out for you.
Hello it’s 2010 Chrysler town and country same ? I’m trying to find videos showing how to change the shift solenoid for the 2010 Chrysler town and country
Gonna give it a go this weekend. I've never used tube seal before. Do you have a link to the one you used? I see there are a few to choose from.
And luckily, when my van gets stuck in limp mode, I can restart it and it goes away. I changed out some sensors, but nothing worked. Hopefully this does the trick.
Thank you for the video!
Good luck! I hope it goes well for you.
I just got the seal from the local NAPA dealer. I believe it was called transmission gasket, but don’t have the exact name.
Slight delay in plans, but working on the van now.
I got the Permatex Automatic Transmission Gasket Maker 81180 from Napa Auto Parts.
Good luck! Hope it turns out well for you!
it seems the best RTV is the Mopar brand...
My 2017 is throwing P0750, P0882, and P076A. The tcm isn't communicating with the ECM. Shift solenoid A and H are stated to be faulty as well. Any advice would be great.
It's the tipm
I am stuck in limp modewith code P1745 pressure too high. Would this solenoid cause that if it were faulty?
Did you ever figure out how to fix the van ?I have the sme problem and code.
Hi there I have 2011 Dodge caravan when I am trying to shift in reverse? It's not taking the gear it doesn't do anything
The issue is only the reverse one when I shift into reverse. Nothing happens the car does not move can you advise me what can be the issue
Mine's been in limp mode for about a year. I use it only locally, and it's fine like that.
Just curious. Did this permanently solve the issue? Im having same problem on mine and i ordered the solenoid pack. But people are telling me its a waist of my time and i should get a new transmission.
It took care of the issue with ours so far. We’ve put about 10,000 miles on it since and haven’t had a problem.
What ended up happening? I'm vary curious
@@gohan9638 it solved my issue too.
I have a 2008 Grand Caravan. I was thinking this might be the issue but not sure. I park the van down hill slightly. Today i went to back out from where i'm parked and the van started rolling forward until the rpms got to 1500rpm and then it started moving backward. Same thing going forward..doesn't start to move until about 1500rpms. I went down the street and noticed it has a vibration or something..feels like the passenger front side. Any idea what this is?
That's transmission slippage
Hello I have a 2011 Dodge Grand caravan and I have the same issue my car goes into limp mode and it won’t make it up 40mph I replace the shift solenoid already but it seems like it didn’t work I ordered a new ECU and it still won’t shift up 2 gear what would the problem be now ? Do you have any suggestions? Help please I replaced the speed sensor too I just don’t know what to do anymore !
It's the tipm
Ty
In another video someone said to change the transmission fluid does that have to be done right away when you change the solenoid or would it be fine?
Since we had everything taken apart anyway, we replaced the transmission pan and transmission fluid. It was pretty easy to do compared to everything else.
@@kgpreacher7777 is a new pan recommended or could the same one be use ?
If I remember correctly, there is a gasket on the pan so you would need a new one.
Unless your trans is due for servicing, there is no need to change the fluid.
Mine hasn’t gotten into limp mode it down shifts bad
I've got a 2009 and having this issue the part is $153.00 at O'Reilly auto parts ill be getting into i think next weekend wish me luck!!!!
Good luck on that one! Hope it takes care of the problem for you!
@@kgpreacher7777 did it work?
Mine worked. We are still driving it today without any problems.
I have the same problem was it easy to fix and do you have a link for guide
What code/s were you throwing?
So did this fix the problem 🤔 2 shops tell me the entire transmission needs to come out
It took care of the issue with ours so far. We’ve put about 10,000 miles on it since and haven’t had a problem. We currently have 134k miles on ours.
My 2011 town and country died yesterday, I put it in park and tried to start it but it wouldn't start. I pushed it to a gas station, it won't shift out of park unless I hit the overide but even when I do that and put it in neutral it won't start. Could this be the same issue you had?
I’m not sure. It definitely sounds a little different from what we experienced. Is the check engine light on? If it is (or even if it isn’t) I would try to find out if it’s thrown some kind of code and that will help with narrowing things down. Most of your auto stores should have the reader to see if it has thrown any codes.
@@kgpreacher7777 thanks for the reply! I can't start it so I can't get it to a store😕 but I have a code reader but the anti-theft light is also on, So I'm just trying to troubleshoot and figure out what it could be. Thank you for the response again!
I need help!!
I have the exact same car and i already replaced the selenoid pack, and the plug, but it only works sometimes, if i move s little the plug it work again, can you tell me how to put on the plug correctly please
It sounds like something isn’t making connection right. When you plug it all the way in that harness should engage again and it’ll make it difficult to unplug it like it should have been that first time you took it apart. If everything is engaging correctly, then it’s possible that either you solenoid pack or the plug is defective or possibly dirty and not making a good connection. If it works sometimes when you move the plug, by guess would be it’s an issue with your plug. It could be in the wiring harness or even in the wiring itself. Someone else may be of more help than me, but those are my thoughts.
Every 10 second ticking noise is coming from my 2012 town and country transmission solenoid pack... Its connector is in front of transmission beside the cap/dipstick tube. Thats ticking noise on the selenoid conector is normal??
Not sure about any ticking noise coming from the connector. My definitely didn’t have any ticking sound before or after.
Can you tell me how much did you spend getting the new Ud solenoid circuit, if possible from where. Please send me the link
This is the one I purchased:
Chrysler Dodge RAM 62TE 6spd Auto Tranny Solenoid Mopar OEM www.amazon.com/dp/B07492DBV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2vPAFbXM2DVBF
Thank you!!!!
I just ordered one one with a lifetime guarantee off ebay. It cost about $125 it came from djtransparts. It is rebuilt with OEM parts and had free shipping. I really like that they have the lifetime warranty.
So how did you get the plate off
My 2012 dodge caravan. Started to smell funny plus got a little shaking and louder then check engine light started to blink then stayed on
Ours didn’t do that. Our transmission just stopped shifting. Hope you can figure out what’s going on.
i replaced mine but now i have no gears. the lil tab on the tcc solenoid broke so i secured it with a zip tie. Would that be a reason for no gears.
When i say no gears i mean they don’t even register on my dash.
where it says P N R D
it’s just - and the car won’t move
I’m guessing that is your problem. Can’t say for certain, but I know that’s all calibrated pretty carefully.
Does we need to drain oil?
My dodge is stuck in limp mode..codes are showing 5th gear ratio. And speed sensors..so
After tons of money on speed sensors and fluid changes its still stuck in limp mode.
Any ideas will be appreciated
Sorry to hear this. I wish I knew more about what could be wrong but unfortunately I’m not going to be much help on this one. Sorry and hope you are able to get something figured out.
Does the transmission selonoid need to be reprogrammed? A mechanic told me that they need to hook it up to do so
I did not have to reprogram ours.
I don't think that is a real thing.
@@kgpreacher7777 not for the solenoid pack, only if changing ECM
We’re you getting a tcm low voltage code ? As well as a Solenoid code ?
I only had the solenoid code. No tcm low voltage.
@@kgpreacher7777 hey man thanks for replying.
I got both codes today:(
What code came out for you ? How did you know it was the solenoid ?
Code P0755 - Limp mode
When I looked into it, it said that code was specific to a specific solenoid, and not the whole transmission. So we replaced the solenoid pack.
a tip : watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Luciano Cristiano definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
@Luciano Cristiano Definitely, been using flixzone} for years myself :D
What would have helped was if you said that after you remove the cover, you need to remove the plate holding the entire unit to the transmission.
He didnt show anything. Its alot of bolts and the 3 pipes inside are hard to line up so u have to drop bottom pan to see....
I just found out on my 2011 dodge grand caravan,the issue may be the thermostat or a clogged radiator, when checking my van I saw the reservoir overflow and all that overflow antifreeze went straight to the solenoid pack conector causing all that problem..
Bad deal. We had a similar issue with our reservoir overflowing. Initially we thought it was head gasket related, then thought thermostat. Ultimately, there was a little hose that had come disconnected that caused the coolant not to circulate and then to overflow. Hope you are able to figure it out quick!
@@kgpreacher7777 where was this hose?
How did this happen???
I am throwing a P0869 code, line pressure high, ECM, wiring, or low fluid. I did have a heater transfer Y tube that got a crack in it, causing water to spill on to the Trans connector. I will check this connector out tomorrow. Thanks!
Would this cause your battery light to come on?
Our battery light did not come on. Our check engine light came on.
I have 07 Dodge Grand Caravan and I have p0750 code showing shift solenoid A but can’t tell the location can you help?
I found this video about it: ua-cam.com/video/P3pju-e0x48/v-deo.html
My wife’s 2017 will not go into “D” drive. When it neutral it shows reverse when trying to put it in Park it sticks in reverse etc could in reverse an move or neutral and roll but not drive and no forward movement. What could it be?
Have no codes or lights on. Did try an disconnect the neg battery and no luck.
Wish I could be a help on that. With no lights or codes, I’d be pretty in the dark on it. Sorry.
Did you have to drain the trans fluid?
We did drain the trans fluid. With opening everything up, it just made sense to go ahead and replace it with clean and new tranny fluid.
Do you think a bad pack can cause slipping out of gear?
It could be possible. That pack controls a lot of things. The give away for us was the code it gave.
Mine never threw a code. It just stopped upshifting to 6th gear.
mine doesn't shift 6th i knew cause i put it on manual the 5 does shift it and six not.its weird cause i turn off the truck and turn it on and works perfectly im like are u being f****** me 😆😆😆😆
@@ernestoreyes8050exactly that's what mine does it'll start off at first gear then shift from first to second and then from second to third if you easy on the pedal it will shift and work out great but if you giving it too much gas it'll slip out a third and go back to second gear and stay there you got to pull over shut it down let's sit for a second start it back up and move on your way very easily cuz I believe it's not pushing enough fluid. And if you do this I would recommend to change the transmission fluid at the same time when you put the new solenoid pack on.
After installing, my Shift Indicator is still stuck in Reverse and the backup camera is always on how do I fix my problem
I wish I could help you with that one. My problem only had to deal with the shift solenoid not shifting out of 2nd gear. Mine never had to do with sticking in reverse or the backup camera. Sorry I’m not more help.
Did you find the answer?
My moms van 2010 town and country has a new transmission and shift solenoid and it’s still not shifting we also replaced a bunch of speed sensors does anyone know why it’s still stuck in second has anyone else had this problem still after replacing basically everything
It's the tipm..was never the transmission itself
I would like to know where you found the o rings please
I had to order them at our local NAPA. Here is a link to the part:
www.factorymopardirect.com/oem-parts/mopar-o-ring-6508636aa
Thank you very much.
So my dad has this code, and a mechanic told him something to the effect of, “i have to drop the transmission, and if I see metal shavings it’s gonna cost $4k, and if not, it’s gonna be $1k…” is he just whistling Dixie?
What year make model of your vehicle and what is it not doing as far as repairs on your vehicle?
I replaced my shift solenoid and it still won't shift. HELP please. Any suggestions
Hello did you fix it I replaced the shift solenoid and it still won’t shift too what can I do ?
Was it fairly easy
Did it come out of limp mode when you change the part
Yes. After replacing the part the van has run without any problems. We have put around 10k miles on it since replacing it without a problem.
Oh okay cuz I change the solenoid but it still in limp mode did you come across any broken wires or have to mess with the computer
Sorry to hear. We didn’t have to reset anything. Ours just started working after we replaced the part.
Oh ok thanks
By any chance would you know where the transmission fluid sensor is located for 2013 dodge grand caravan?
I don’t have any experience with that year of van, so I don’t know for sure. Mine was a solenoid. Here is what I found on a quick search for the sensor:
www.justanswer.com/dodge/by6l7-transmission-fluid-pressure-sensor-2013.html
Would your van still go into reverse and neutral and park or was it strictly stuck in 2 gear any info would be appreciated please
It drove like normal aside from it would only shift into 2nd gear and wouldn’t let us driving faster than about 40 mph because the rpm would rev so high. Still shifted into park and reverse fine. Hope you are able to figure out your issue!
Thank you sir vary helpful
@@kgpreacher7777 thanks, for description of symptoms , it will help for propre diagnostic!
Dodge Caravan and Town & Country are still very good product and not expensive to fix and own!🙂
Now is that a transmission solenoid? Thanks in advance
Yes. It is actually the solenoid pack, but I don’t know that you want to go through all that work and just replace a single solenoid (don’t actually know if you can even do that).
Right I was meeting the pack. I believe you can change them individually as you can buy them that way too. I'm having symptoms with my 2011 van as well I'm just waiting on the part as there's a huge backlog right now
Going thru this right now with our 2010
I really don’t have the time to fix it but how much would this job cost?
It cost me around $200 for the part and roughly 3 hours of work, in which I was working on removing the part from the bottom and another guy was removing bolts from the top. This is a 2011, so make sure yours is similar because I’ve heard some models are a little different which could add some work to what you would need to take off to reach the part.
What did you end up doing?
A bad solenoid pack and a person trying to get away by not giving it a lot of gas to make it shift it will destroy that transmission when it falls back to a lower gear and person tries to keep up with traffic in second it will burn the transmission up as long as you replace the solenoid pack when needed you'll never have a problem with that transmission
Am I missing something I didn't see no Soleniods getting changed
You replace it with aftermarket or OE part
Here is the one I got:

Wow
did this fix your issue? the dealer is saying it might be Powertrain control module for my van
Yes it did fix ours. We have put over 20k miles since without an issue.
Dealers love to sell you more than you need. That's how tgey stay in business.
Did it fix
Yes. The van is still going strong almost two years later.

Where do u live
MT
I bought a remanufactured one of these and it died before 200 miles went by. I can't remember where I bought it on line because it was several months ago and finally got installed this week. It has a "lifetime warranty that does me no good since I can't remember what company I bought it from. Sh*t!!!

Mine won't engage on park
This just started happening on mine , do you know what it is and how did you fix it if you did ?

Everywhere i went want alot of money and i really dont have it, please help, if your located in California please help us
Sorry you were in that predicament. Unfortunately I don’t live anywhere close to California so I won’t be much help there. Hope you are able to figure something out
@Steven Maltbie I don’t know that you “have” to… probably a good idea to since you are opening the system. You will probably lose some fluid when you open it up to replace the solenoid, and I believe there is supposed to be a certain amount of tranny fluid (3.6L) in there with it being a closed system. Good luck!
