this resets the pcm by clearing any data stored in the memory so that it starts fresh (the small electrical voltage is required to keep the memory alive, much like the ram in your computer)so that is is reset back to factory defaults and will more quickly relearn any new sensors put into the system

 

Here are instructions on resetting the PCM: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...ine-light.html

 

TPS fixed the trans problem!!

3 months in a dealer with no solution and a forum solves the answer without even seeing the vehicle, i will never bring my truck back to Liberty Auto City ever again

 

This is a good example of why you want to find a specialist. While I have a ton of multiline experiance my specialty is mitsubishi & by extension of bedmates Dodge. Mitsus in particular are goofy cars with many quirks to working on them. even a good tech who hasn't seen a fair number of them will struggle working on the buggers & likely even do unitentional damge. I on the other hand can damn near fix em over the phone at this point.

find someone who does dodge, indipendant shops are your best bet, look for one that allways buisy & HAS to scedule you in. their going to be the good ones & they wont need to advertise, word of mouth takes care of that.

Stay out of dealerships if you car is no longer under warr. dealerships are a pain to work for & tend to turn over guys frequently thus they will have never been trained or worked on a large number of your particular year & model. Ie they have no personal expeirance to draw from.

Dealers also like to hire newbies & train them up themselves, cheaper to get tech's this way but you don't get the top O the line guy's you might think the dealer would insist on.

I worked at my first dealership after I had been wrenching for over ten years, I was shocked at the limited knowlage of my dealer trained coworkers.
