So here I am driving down the road minding my own biz, when out of nowhere BANG. Ok ok thought it might have been a pothole or something, then blink goes the MIL light. Now I am thinking ok just a wire loose fro the possible pothole. Slow down to the toll plaza on the bridge to pay my outragous $3.00 toll, when I try to attempt to accelerate away the tranny wont kick down or go into anything but what seems like 3rd. Get to my destination and let it sit hoping that it might just go away, but alas it wont, now I am permanetly stuck in 3rd or something like it. I did the code check thing and got

P0700
------
done

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, AND WHY DO I NOT HAVE ANY
GEARS?????

When these electronic tranny's go on the blink they'll kick into a "limp home mode " which is 3rd gear...., It's dealer time. Might be a loose connection.

I had this happen on my avenger and it was a speed sensor.

Yeah, my truck did that one time....output vss...10 minute fix at the dealer, they usually stock the part...

Well I got it back from the shop today, turns out that a relay that tells the tranny computere what the line pressure is failed. So without that info the tranny went into limp mode. The guy said that he has not seen this happen to a 545RFE yet. He also said that he researched it in Mopars database and said that there is no history of that happening to any tranny in the US. HHMMMM makes me wonder what else might happen that is not i the database...

Anyways all is better now, left the dealership and put down about 20ft. just to make sure all was good...

:tup:
