2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 check engine

Theory of Operation
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoid is used to engage the TCC which improves fuel economy. The Over-
drive Solenoid is used to engage the gear change from third to Overdrive.
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and the engine running.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the expected engine RPM drop does not occur within 4 seconds of the gear change being
requested by the PCM three consecutive failed tests.
Possible Causes
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION - EXCESSIVE DEBRIS OR BURNT
3-4 SHIFT SOLENOID
INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 48RE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECK IF THERE ANY TRANSMISSION CONTROL DTCS PRESENT
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs.
Are there any TIPM TCM Power Control Circuit DTCs also present?
Ye s>>
Refer to the Transmission or Engine category and perform the appropriate symptom(s).
No>>
Go To 2
2.CHECK IF THE DTC IS CURRENT
With the scan tool, read Engine DTCs.
Record the Freeze Frame data for the reported DTC.
With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Using the Freeze Frame data recorded earlier, try to duplicate the conditions in which the DTC originally set.

3.CHECK THE GOVERNOR AND OVERDRIVE PRESSURE
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Connect a 0 - 2068 KPa (0 - 300 PSI) pressure gauge to the Overdrive Clutch test port.
Connect another 0 - 2068 KPa (0 - 300 PSI) pressure gauge to the Governor Pressure test port. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 48RE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
Start the engine and allow the transmission temperature to rise to normal operating temperature.
CAUTION: Apply the parking brake.
Firmly apply the brakesand place the gear selector in Drive.
While observing the pressure gauges, with the scan tool, select 4th gear from the Gov and 3-4 Shift Valve Test.

6.INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
Use the Freeze Frame Data to help duplicate the conditions in which the DTC originally set. Pay particular attention
to the DTC set conditions, such as, VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load
The vehicle must be driven (road load) to set this code. Drive the vehicle 4 timesfrom0to89kmh(0to55
MPH) with a constant 20 % throttle position through all gears. Stop the vehicle, shut the engine off and then
repeat the procedure.
Using the schematics as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched,
or partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken,bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Wiggle the wiring and connectors while checking for any possible open or shorted circuits.
Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
