2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 automatic transmission

When Monitored:
When Powertrain Control Module initially powers up. Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission
Control Modules, the transmission part of the PCM has its own specific power and ground circuits.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set if the PCM powers up and senses the vehicle in a valid forwardgear,withnoPRNDLDTCs,
and an output speed above 800 RPM, approximately 32 Kmh or 20 mph.
Possible Causes
POWER UP AT SPEED
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
If a vehicle loses power to the Transmission Control System, the solenoids(LR, 2C, OD, UD, 4C) will go to their
respective power off state. Some solenoids are normally vented and some are normally applied in their power off
state. The transmission is designed to be in 3rd gear with all of the solenoids in this state. However, if power is
restored, the Transmission Control System will power-up and normal operation will be restored.
This code identifies that power to the Transmission Control System was restored when the gear selector was in a
Driveposition while the vehicle was moving at speeds above 32 Kmh (20 mph).This DTC does not indicate a
problem with the transmission or Transmission Control System,instead, it suggests intermittent problems in
the fused ignition switch output, fused B(+), or ground circuits to the TCM. Alternately, if a person performs a rolling
restart maneuver, the DTC can be set. Therefore it is critical that this DTCbe investigated if the vehicle is experi-
encing intermittent 3rd gear operation and a subsequent return to normal operation.
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECK THE POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS
This DTC is set when the Transmission portion of the Powertrain Control Module is initialized while the vehicle is
movingdowntheroadinavalidforwardgear.
Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
NOTE: Due to the integration of the Powertrain and Transmission Control Modules, the transmission part of
the PCM has its own specific power and ground circuits.
Check all of the Fused B(+), Fused Ignition Switch Output, and ground circuits to the PCM for an intermittent open
or short to ground.
With the scan tool, check the DTC EVENT DATA to help identify the conditionsin which the DTC was set.

Repair
Check all power and ground circuits to the PCM and repair as necessary.
Perform 45RFE/545RFE TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. (Refer to 21- TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

When Monitored:
When the ignition is turned from
OFFposition toRUNposition and/or the ignition is turned fromSTART
position toRUNposition.
Set Condition:
This DTC is set if the Powertrain Control Module senses voltage on any of thepressure switch inputs prior to
the Transmission Control Output circuit being energized.
Possible Causes
PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUITS SHORT TO VOLTAGE
TRANSMISSION SOLENOID/TRS ASSEMBLY
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
The Totally Integrated Control Module (TIPM) replaces the Transmission control relay. The Transmission Control
Output circuit It is used to supply power to the solenoids and pressure switches (Transmission Solenoid/TRS
Assembly) when the transmission is in normal operating mode. When the Transmission Control Output circuit is off,
no power is supplied and the transmission.
Immediately after a controller reset (ignition key turned to the
runposition or after cranking engine), the TCM ver-
ifies that the Transmission Control Output circuits are open by checking for no voltage at the transmission control
output terminals at the PCM. After this is verified, the voltage at the pressure switches are checked. There should
be no voltage on the pressure switches at this time. The PCM will then activate the relay.

When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmissionin gear.
Set Condition:
The PCM continuously monitors Actual Line Pressure and compares it to DesiredLinePressure.IftheActual
Line Pressure reading is more than 172.4 kPa (25 psi) higher than the Desired Line Pressure, but is less than
the highest Line Pressure ever used in the current gear, the DTC sets.
Possible Causes

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
Line pressure is electronically controlled by the Transmission Control System and is measured by the Line Pressure
Sensor (LPS). The desired line pressure is continuously being compared tothe actual line pressure and is regulated
by electronically changing the dutycycle of the Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS). (5% duty cycle = solenoid off =
max line pressure, 62% duty cycle =solenoid on = min line pressure).
The Transmission Control System calculates the desired line pressure based on inputs from the transmission and
engine. A calculated torque input to the transmission is used as the primary input of the desired line pressure cal-
culation and is called Torque Based Line Pressure. In addition, the line pressure is set to a preset level 827 to 931
kPa (120 to 135 psi) during shifts and in Park and Neutral to ensure consistent shift quality.
Diagnostic Test
