DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

When the scan tool instructs you to put the Gear Selector in a particular position, you must do so using the selector
switch on the Transmission Simulator.
The LED for the gear position in question must be illuminated on the Transmission Simulator prior to pressing
ENTERon the scan tool.
NOTE: When the scan tool requests the O/D off button be depressed, you must use the O/D OFF button in
the vehicle or you will fail the Shift Lever Position Test with an error code11 or OD-TOW/HALL STUCK
OPEN.
NOTE: If the Shift Lever Position test fails, make sure to note the identification of the TRS Sense circuit for
future reference.
Did the Shift Lever Position test pass?

Remove the Oil Pan and Main Valve Body Assembly per the Service Information. Check for metal debris
on top of the Solenoid/TRS Assembly and the manual valve code plate. If debris is present, determine
the cause of the debris and repair the transmission as necessary. If no problems are found, replace the
Transmission Solenoid/TRS Assembly per the Service Information.

P0711-TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR PERFORMANCE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.

When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on and engine running.
Set Condition:
This DTC will set when the desired transmission temperature does not reacha normal operating temperature
within a given time frame. Time is variable due to ambient temperature. Approximate times are starting tem-
perature to warm up time: (-40° F / -40° C - 35 min) (-20° F / -28° C - 25 min) (20°F / -6.6° C - 20 min) (60°
F/15.5°C-10min)

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 Transmission Temperature Sensor is a variable resistor that changes with temperature, or otherwise known as
a thermister. The temperature of the transmission fluid can affect a variety of electronically controlled transmission
operations such as shift quality, torque converter lock-up, and when and/or if certain OBDII or system self-diagnostic
test are performed. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) substitutes a calculated transmission temperature value
if a fault is detected in the Transmission Temperature Sensor circuit.
