POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-1 APPLICABILITY
1. NOTE: If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not
been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the
SKIM.
2. NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer System, Secret
Key data must be updated. Refer to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM and
the Transponder (ignition key) for programming information.
3. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected
properly.
4. Inspect the engine oil for fuel contamination. Replace the oil and filter as necessary.
5. Attempt to start the engine.
6. If the No Start condition is still present, refer to the symptom list and perform the diagnostic
testing as necessary. refer to and Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
7. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify operation.
8. With the DRBIIIt, confirm that no DTCs or Secondary Indicators are present and that all
components are functioning properly.
9. If a DTC is present, refer to the appropriate category and select the corresponding symptom.

SKIS VERIFICATION APPLICABILITY
1. Reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
2. Obtain the vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to it's original
SKIM. This number can be obtained from the vehicle's invoice or Chrysler's Customer Center
(1-800-992-1997).
3. NOTE: When entering the PIN, care should be taken because the SKIM will only
allow 3 consecutive attempts to enter the correct PIN. If 3 consecutive incorrect
PIN's are entered the SKIM will Lock Out the DRB III for 1 hour.
4. To exit Lock Out mode, the ignition key must remain in the Run position continually for 1
hour. Turn off all accessories and connect a battery charger if necessary.

VERIFICATION TESTS
VERIFICATION TESTS ÐContinued

responding element is applied. If a switch fails to
close, it is retested, If it fails the second test, the
code is set.
Transmission Effects:The MIL illuminates and
the transmission system defaults to Relay Open
limp-in mode.
Possible causes:
> Pressure switch sense circuit shorted to battery
between TCM and solenoid pack.
> Low line pressure
> Solenoid Pack
Name of code:P1791(35) - Loss Of Prime
When monitored:If the transmission is slipping
in any forward gear and the pressure switches are
not indicating pressure, a loss of prime test is run.
Set condition:If the transmission begins to slip in
any forward gear, and the pressure switch or
switches that should be closed for a given gear are
open, a loss of prime test begins. All available
elements (in 1st gear L-R, 2-4 and OD, in 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th gear 2-4 and OD) are turned on by the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) to see if pump
prime exists. The code is set if none of the pressure
switches respond. The TCM will continue to run the
loss of prime test until pump pressure returns.
Theory of operation:The loss of prime test is
used to prevent transmission defaults which can be
caused by a lack of pump prime.
Transmission Effects:Vehicle will not move or
transmission slips. Normal operation will continue
if pump prime returns.
Possible causes:
> Low transmission fluid level
> PRNDL indicates a valid OD code in the hydrau-
lic reverse position
> Transmission fluid filter clogged or damaged
> Transmission fluid filter improperly installed
(Bolts loose or O-ring missing)
> Oil pump - If a customer has a problem when the
transmission is cold whereby he shifts to reverse,
gets reverse, and then shifts to OD and does not
get OD (gets a neutral condition), and then can
not get reverse or OD for between 3-20 seconds,
replace the oil pump. High side clearance in the
oil pump will set a code 35. The pump will prime
upon start-up, but as the torque converter purges
air (drain down) the air will leak across the inner
rotor into the pump suction port and cause a loss
of prime right after the shift into OD. After 3- 20
seconds, pump prime will return and normal
operation will continue. The pump should be
replaced only after all other possible causes
above have been checked and verified.Name of code:P1790(36) - Fault Immediately
After Shift
When monitored:After a gear ratio error is
stored.
Set condition:This code is set if the associated
gear ratio code is stored within 1.3 seconds after a
shift.
Theory of operation:This code will only be stored
along with a 50 series code. If this code is set, it
indicates the problem is mechanical in nature.
When this code exists, diagnosing the transmission
should be based on the associated gear ratio code
and primarily mechanical causes should be consid-
ered.
Transmission Effects:None
Possible causes:
> Mechanical causes as listed under associated
gear ratio code.
Name of code:P1775(37) - Solenoid Switch Valve
Latched in TCC Position
When monitored:During an attempted shift into
1st gear.
Set condition:This code is set if three unsuccess-
ful attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one
given key start.
Theory of operation:The solenoid switch valve
(SSV) controls the direction of the transmission
fluid when the L-R/TCC solenoid is energized. The
SSV will be in the downshifted position in 1st gear,
thus directing the fluid to the L-R clutch circuit. In
2nd, 3rd, and 4th, it will be in the upshifted position
and directs the fluid into the torque converter
clutch (TCC).
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic
sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement
into the downshifted position. The L-R pressure
switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If
movement is not confirmed (the L-R pressure
switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for
1st.
Transmission Effects:Transmission will have no
1st gear (2nd gear will be substituted), and no
EMCC operation.
Possible causes:
> PRNDL indicates a valid OD code in the hydrau-
lic reverse position
> Valve body- - Solenoid valve stuck in TCC posi-
tion
> High idle speed
> Solenoid malfunction - L-R pressure switch will
not close
> L-R Pressure Switch Sense circuit shorted to
battery

GENERAL INFORMATION

Symptom:
P1791-LOSS OF PRIME
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1791-LOSS OF PRIME
When Monitored: If the transmission is slipping in any forward gear and the pressure
switches are not indicating pressure, a loss of prime test is run.
Set Condition: If the Trans. begins to slip in a forward gear & the press. switch(s) that
should be closed are open a loss of prime test begins. Available elements are turned on by
the TCM to see if pump prime exists.The code sets if no pressure switches respond.

PLUGGED TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER
SHIFT LEVER POSITION
TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS

TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1NOTE: Low fluid level can be the cause of many Transmission problems. If
the fluid level is low locate and repair the leak then check and adjust the
fluid level per the Service Information.
NOTE: Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid
false symptoms.
With the DRBIIIt, read the engine DTC's. Check and repair all engine DTC's prior
to performing Transmission Symptom Diagnostics.
With the DRBIIIt, read Transmission DTC's. Record all DTC's and 1 Trip Failures.
NOTE: Diagnose 1 Trip Failures as a fully matured DTC.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
Repair as necessary.
Perform the Shift Lever Position Test. If the test does not pass, refer to Symptom test
for P0705 Check Shifter Signal.
For Gear Ratio DTC's, check and record all CVI's.
Most DTC's set on start up but some must be set by driving the vehicle such that all
diagnostic monitors have run.
NOTE: Verify flash level of Transmission Control Module. Some problems
are corrected by software upgrades to the Transmission Control Module.
NOTE: Check for applicable TSB's related to the symptom.
Perform this procedure prior to Symptom diagnosis.All
