No. Unfortunately, transmissions aren't really my strong point. But the codes kind of give you a direction to go. Any good transmission shop should be able to diagnose it pretty easily. Sorry I can't be of any real help.

Hi New,

Try this thread from the Durango forum. He had similar codes:

If you don't have any solenoid codes, just try replacing the switch.

If you have switch and solenoid codes, whole trans has to come apart. In my case, The lockup clutch in my convertor came apart, and the whole inside of the trans + sensors + solenoids was covered in clutch material.
