My '05 Durango Limited had MIL co me on two days ago, so took to the auto hobby shop we have here onbase for them check codes. They told me that the 0846 (2C Pressure switch sense circuit) was the only code to begin with and after checking fluid level(which is good and fluid is red with no burnt smell) they started up and MIL came right back and showed 0846 and also 0845 (2C Hydraulic pressure test failure).

Anyone deal with this same issue that can give me a starting point? I'm in the AF and currently stationed in Eastern Turkey, no Dodge dealers/mechanics or major local supply parts in the area.

I have found that there is a Service Bulletin for the transmission solenoid/pressure switch and wiring on the 2nd gen Durango but it states that it's for the RLE transmission.

I'm going to start with checking electrical connections like the SB advises for the RLE transmission, when removing the electrical connectors is the red tab the locking device? And if so does is it supposed to slide one direction or pull out away from the connector?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!!

Master Tech,

Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

I finally managed to get my parts in here, solenoid pack and tranny filters were shipped from the US and figured that I'd be able to find ATF+4 at an auto parts store in the city we are near here in Turkey, but no tranny fluid for American made trucks in this part of the world, couldn't even find any through friends in Germany. Luckily for me I have friends in the states who were able to get a case to me here. It's been almost 3 weeks now since I changed the solenoid pack and the Durango runs and shifts fine, along with no check engine light or codes.

I am also having trouble with a P0846 code I have replaced the transmission pressure sensor already. Transmission is in limp mode only using 2 and 3 if manually shifted.
