Hi! I'm looking for some help. I got a friend that owns a 1998 Dak 5.2 l auto. He went to autozone to read a code and this is what the scanner said:

P0751 O/D Switch Pressed (Low) More Than 5 Minutes

Anyone have this problem before and knows how to fix it?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

Thanks

 

this was the only thing i found.

This is from the Chilton Library, 1998 Dak 5.2 Auto.


Trouble Code: P0751 (5.2L V8 VIN Y Auto)
A/T Overdrive Switch Pressed Low For Over 5 Minutes

Print this code data
Number of Trips to Set Code: 1
OBD II Monitor Type: CCM Details
Indicators: MIL Details

• CCM Details

Trouble Code Conditions:
Engine started; engine runtime over 10 seconds and the PCM detected the Overdrive Off Switch indicated "low" for over 5 minutes.
Possible Causes:

• Overdrive Switch Off" circuit is shorted to ground
• Overdrive Switch is damaged or has failed
• PCM has failed

 

Thanks for the info guys! I told my friend that imo the easiest and cheapest way was to find a overdrive button and swap his out. I told him to go to a junk yard and find one or i told him where to get it online for $13.00 shipped to his home.

We'll see.

Any other suggestions, tips etc. feel free to post them!


Thanks....

I have the same code for my truck. 1998 Dodge Dakota 5.2 l auto. 4x4.
But my reader states Shift solenoid A performance or stuck off.

I do have a slip from 2nd to 3rd. But there is no slip whatsoever when I
do have the O/D off. My O/D switch is damaged, but I am able to turn
it on and off. Just wondering if I still need an A/Trans solenoid.
