first thing I would need to know is what kind of vehicle is this in your title says 2011 but its listed under the 1995-2000 avenger which would be 2 different transmissions if its setting p0841 which is lr pressure switch rationality code and you have a new pcm and solenoid pack the only thing left is the wiring from the pcm to the solenoid pack or a loose pin in one of the connectors causing an intermittent condition this code should put your transmission in limp mode

yes this is a 2011 Dodge Avenger, new to this site so may have posted in wrong location. When the 1st check engine lit it also had RPM's being weird surges ect. 2nd time was just slowing to a stop lite. Had to shut of car to get things back to normal. Nothing weird the 3rd time, again just slowing down to stop. that is when the check engine lite came back on. Dealership ran diagnostics and that is when they came up with the last code p0841 . Reset and told to drive it until it comes back on. Looking for any service bulletins or anything that would help the dealership figure this out.

I don't see any service bulletins for that concern I have seen the wires at the solenoid pack connector come loose from connector or get corroded inside of the connector and the only way to find this is to take the wire out of the connector to inspect it but if the pack and pcm are new the only thing left is the wiring It is a single wire circuit attached is the diagram I circled the circuit that's causing the code good luck on getting it repaired let me know what they find
