2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 ESP

When Monitored:
Initially at power-up, then every 10 seconds thereafter. The solenoid circuits will also be tested immediately
after a gear ratio or pressure switch error is detected.
Set Condition:
After three consecutive solenoid continuity test failures, or one failure if test is run in response to a gear ratio
or pressure switch error.Note: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and does not apply to any internal
transmission failures.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System uses six electronically controlled solenoids that allow hydraulic fluid to be applied
to various friction elements (clutches), which enables the gear requested. The continuity of each solenoid circuit is
periodically tested. Each inactive solenoid is turned on for a few milliseconds, then off. Each active solenoid is
turned off for a few milliseconds, then on. This pulsing of voltage to the solenoid causes an inductive spike which
can be sensed by the Transmission Control System. If an inductive spike is not sensed by the Transmission Control
System during the continuity check, it is tested again. If the test fails three consecutive times, the appropriate Diag-
nostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set. If the solenoid test is run in response to agear ratio or pressure switch error, one
failure will result in setting the appropriate DTC.Note: This DTC is strictly an electrical fault and does not apply
to any internal transmission failures.

When Monitored:
In any forward gear with engine speed above 1000 RPM shortly after a shift and every minute thereafter.
Set Condition:
After a shift into a forward gear, with engine speed above 1000 RPM, the PCM momentarily turns on element
pressure to the Clutch circuits that don’t have pressure to identify the correct Pressure Switch closes. If the
Pressure Switch does not close 2 times, the DTC sets.

Theory of Operation
The Transmission Control System tests the pressure switches when they areoff. The test verifies that the switches
are operational (They will close with pressure applied). The Transmission Control System verifies that the switch
closes when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails to close, it is re-tested. If it fails the second test,
the DTC will set, the MIL will illuminate and the transmission system will default to the orderly Shutdown routine.
