2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 clutch

When Monitored:
Initially at ignition on, then every 10 seconds thereafter. The solenoidswill also be tested immediately after a
gear ratio error or pressure switch error is detected.
Set Condition:
Three consecutive solenoid continuity test failures, or one failure if test is run in response to a gear ratio or
pressure switch error.

Theory of Operation
Four solenoids are used to control the friction elements (clutches). The continuity of the solenoids circuits are peri-
odically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off depending on its currentstate. An inductive spike should be
detected by the PCM during this test. If no spike is detected, the circuit istested again to verify the failure. In
addition to the periodic testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a gear ratio or pressure switch error occurs. In this
case, one failure will result in the appropriate DTC being set. The MIL willilluminate and the transmission goes into
neutral, if the DTC is set above 35 Kmh (22 mph), Limp-in mode when vehicle speed is below 35 Kmh (22 mph).

When Monitored:

Set Condition:

element pressure to the clutch circuits that don’t have pressure to verifythat the correct pressure switch
closes. If the pressure switch does not close 2 times the DTC sets

Theory of Operation
Pressure switches are normally off or open (no pressure applied) and read high (+12 volts). When an element is
applied, the corresponding pressure switch closes to ground (0 volts) or turns on. The controller tests the OD and
24 pressure switches when they are off (when the corresponding friction element is not applied) by briefly applying
the OD and 24 elements which will cause the corresponding pressure switch to close. The test verifies that the
switches are operational and that the switch will close when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails
to respond, it is re-tested. The MIL illuminates and the transmission system defaults to Limp-in mode.

When Monitored:
Whenever the engine is running.
Set Condition:
The DTC is set if one of the pressure switches are open or closed at the wrong time in a given gear. If the
problem is identified for 3 successive key starts, the transmission will go into Limp-in mode and the MIL will
turn on after 10 seconds of vehicle operation.

Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Transmission system uses three pressure switches to monitor the fluidpressure in the LR, 2/4, and OD ele-
ments. The pressure switches are continuously monitored for the correct states in each gear. The 2/4 pressure
switch monitors the fluid pressure to the 2/4 clutch to confirm proper operation of the 2/4 solenoid. If the 2/4 pres-
sure switch is identified as closed in Por N, the code will immediately be set and normal operation will be allowed
for that given key start. If the problem is identified for 3 successive ignition cycles, the transmission will go into
Limp-in mode.

P0897-TRANSMISSION FLUID DETERIORATED
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Each transition from full EMCC to partial EMCC for A/C bump prevention.
Set Condition:
DTC set if 20 occurrences of a turbine acceleration sum. Fault Set Time: 20 transitions from full EMCC to
partial EMCC. Transmission will not use partial EMCC. Established for A/Cbump prevention.
Possible Causes
WORN OUT/ BURNT TRANSAXLE FLUID
Always perform the 42RLE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
To prevent a bump due to A/C clutch engagement, a temporary torque converter partial EMCC condition is estab-
lished prior to A/C clutch engagement. A message is received over the bus indicating that A/C clutch engagement
is imminent. Partial EMCC is then established and a reply message,
OK to engage A/C clutchis sent via the bus.
Partial EMCC will be held for 450 ms before returning to full EMCC. During the transition from full to partial EMCC,
a turbine acceleration sum is calculated, if this value exceeds a threshold value for several transitions, degraded
transmission fluid is indicated.
Diagnostic Test
1.WORN OUT/ BURNT TRANSMISSION FLUID
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Flush the Transmission Oil Cooler and lines, replace the Transmission OilFilter, refill with new Transmission Fluid,
start the engine, and adjust the fluid per the Service Information.
NOTE: The Transmission Cooler must be flushed before proceeding.
Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes, in Park.
Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Again, flush the Transmission Oil Cooler and lines, replace the Transmission Oil Filter, refill with new Transmission
Fluid, start the engine, and adjust the fluid per the Service Information.
With the scan tool, perform a Battery Disconnect.
NOTE: The Battery Disconnect must be done to re-enable EMCC during an A/C Clutch engagement.
NOTE: The vehicle may exhibit intermittent shudder during the first few hundred miles. The new Transmis-
sion Fluid will gradually penetrate the Torque Convertor Clutch frictionmaterial and the shudder should
disappear.
Erase the DTC and return the vehicle to the customer.
Did the DTC reset and/or does the vehicle still shudder after a few thousandmiles?
Ye s>>
Replace the Torque Converter per the Service Information.

P0992-2/4/OD HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
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 greater than 1000 RPM, the PCM momentarily turns on
element pressure to the clutch circuits that do not have pressure to identify that the correct pressure switch
closes. If the pressure switch does not close 2 times the DTC sets.
Possible Causes
CONDITION P0992 PRESENT
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 21 - TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 42RLE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Theory of Operation
Pressure switches are normally off or open (no pressure applied) and read high (+12 volts). When an element is
applied, the corresponding pressure switch closes to ground (0 volts) or turns on. The controller tests the OD and
2/4 pressure switches when they are off (when the corresponding friction element is not applied) by briefly applying
the OD and 2/4 elements which will cause the corresponding pressure switchto close. The test verifies that the
switches are operational and that the switch will close when the corresponding element is applied. If a switch fails
to respond, it is re-tested. The MIL illuminates and the transmission system defaults to Limp-in mode.
1.CHECK TO SEE IF DTC P0992 IS CURRENT
NOTE: The vehicle must be driven to set this DTC. The transmission must at operating temperature with the
Engine RPM above 1000 RPM.
This DTC is an indication of both the 2/4 and the O/D Hydraulic Pressure Switch DTCs present.
Perform the diagnostic procedures for both P0845 and P0870.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Refer to the Transmission category and perform the diagnostic proceduresfor P0845 and P0870.
