This document provides troubleshooting steps for electrical problems on 2003-and-later Dodge Caravans with a 41TE transmission. It identifies 4 types of problems: 1) PCM communication issues, 2) input sensor problems, 3) solenoid problems, and 4) incorrect gear ratio or slipping transmission clutch unit issues. Testing procedures are outlined to check the transmission control module communication, input sensors like speed and position sensors, pressure switch circuits, and transmission solenoid pack. Proper voltage testing and an understanding of electrical systems is required to accurately diagnose transmission problems.

obvious that the existing trou- bleshooting procedures won’t solve all of its electrical problems. This article will help you troubleshoot the Type 1 Problems: TCM and TCM Communications These problems include no codes, the PCM. The other signal is called the Serial Communication (SCI) which is dedicated to TCM data. To check for PCI communication, check for varying volt- age at pin 38 of the C1 connector.
