DODGE RAM SRT-10 2006 Service Repair Manual

P0736-GEAR RATIO ERROR IN REVERSE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmissionin gear.
Set Condition:
If the ratio of the Input RPM to the Output RPM does not match the current gearratio. This DTC can take up
to five minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL
Possible Causes
LOW FLUID LEVEL
CUT LR TOWER SEAL ON MAIN VALVE BODY
CUT LR CLUTCH PISTON SEALS
BROKEN OR MISSING LR CLUTCH BLEED ORIFICE (IN LR CLUTCH RETAINER)
CUT LR ACCUMULATOR PISTON SEAL IN MAIN VALVE BODY
CRACKED LR ACCUMULATOR PISTON IN MAIN VALVE BODY
CUT OD/REV PISTON SEALS
BROKEN OR MISSING OD/REV BLEED ORIFICE (IN OD/REV CLUTCH PISTON)
BROKEN REVERSE CARRIER HUB WELD
BROKEN REVERSE SUN GEAR WELD TO THE REACTION CARRIER
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 system uses two speed sensors, one to measure input RPM and one to measure output RPM.
These inputs are essential for proper transmission operation. Therefore, the integrity of this data is verified through
the following checks:
1) Once in a particular gear, if the gear ratio varies from the correct gear ratio, the corresponding in-gear trouble
code is set (DTCs P0731-36).
2) An excessive change in input or output speeds indicating signal intermittent may result in the DTCs P0715 and/or
P0720 being set.
3) If the common speed sensor ground circuit is lost, both sensor inputs will read the pulses from the input speed
sensor when at a stop in neutral. Since the input speed sensor reads 60 teethfrom the input clutch hub and the
output speed sensor reads 30 teeth from the park gear, the result is an apparent speed ratio of 1:2 and may cause
the DTC P1794 to set.
Diagnostic Test
1.CHECKFORRELATEDDTCS
With the scan tool, check for other transmission DTC’s
Are there any Transmission; solenoid, line pressure, speed sensor, and/or loss of prime DTC’s present?

4.POSSIBLE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION CAUSES
Remove the Transmission Oil Pan and Valve Body and check the following per the Service Information:
Clutch or metal debris in the pan
LR clutch tower seal on the main valve body or cuts and the LR accumulator piston and seals.
Air check the Reverse and LR Hydraulic Clutch circuits (in the case) for excessive air leakage.
NOTE: Both Hydraulic Clutch circuitscontain a small bleed orifice , a small amount of air leakage is normal.
The Reverse hydraulic clutch circuit bleed orifice connects to the OD hydraulic clutch cavity. A small
amount of air leakage into the OD hydraulic clutch circuit is considered normal.

Repair as necessary. If clutch debris is present, remove the transmissionand inspect the Reverse and
LR clutches, and inspect the Transmission Oil Pump and Main Regulator Valve for damage or sticking
in its bore.

6.CHECK FOR BROKEN REVERSE SUN GEAR WELD
Working through the windows in the bottom of the case, check for a broken Reverse Sun gear weld to the reaction
carrier as follows:
1) Hold the Transmission Output Shaft by holding the Transmission Manual Lever in the park position.
2) Rotate the Input Annulus gear and drive shell, (the drum that encloses the two rearmost carriers).
3) Check to see if the reaction carrier (the front-most carrier, whose outer shell is splined to the 2C clutch) is rotat-
ing faster than the drive shell is being turned.
Is the reaction carrier turning faster than the drive shell?

P0740-TCC OUT OF RANGE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W
When Monitored:
During Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch (EMCC) Operation.
Set Condition:
Transmission must be in EMCC, with input speed greater than 1750 RPM. TCC-LR Solenoid achieves the
maximum duty cycle and can not pull engine speed within 60 RPM of input speed. Also when the transmission
is in FEMCC and the engine slips TCC less than 100 RPM for 10 seconds. This DTCcantakeuptofive
minutes of problem identification before illuminating the MIL.

Always perform the 45RFE/545RFE Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure before proceeding. (Refer to
21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 45RFE/545RFE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
Theory of Operation
When in 2nd, 2nd Prime, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear, the torque converter clutch (TCC) can be engaged when certain
conditions are met. The TCC piston is electronically modulated by increasing the duty cycle of the LR Solenoid until
the torque converter slip difference (difference between engine and transmission input speed) is within 60 RPM.
Then the LR solenoid is fully energized(FEMCC – 100% duty cycle). Torque converter slip is monitored in FEMCC
to ensure adequate clutch capacity.

2.CHECK IF DTC P0740 IS CURRENT
With the scan tool, Read and RECORD ALL Transmission DTC’s. After recording DTCs, erase DTCs.
Drive the vehicle until the transmission temperature is at least 43° C or 110° F and the engine temperature at least
49° C or 120° F.
Perform the following steps 3 times.
Drive the vehicle to the speed of at least 88 Kmh or 55 mph.
Allow 4th or 5th gear to engage for at least 10 seconds.

P0750-LR SOLENOID CIRCUIT
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W

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.
Possible Causes
RELATED TIPM TCM DTCS PRESENT

(T20) LR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
(T20) LR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

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 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.
