I did some more reading, and in TorquePRO I went to custom PIDs and added Dodge/Chrysler method3. I now get a reading, of -41.8 degrees. Is the temp sensor busted?

 

It may not have the pid programmed into it. According to theory though, you should be able to add it, if you can find what the pid number is..... And that's the hard part.

 

I found in another forum that Dodge in their infinite wisdom didn't include the trans temp in the CAN bus and rather, leveraged the CCD. I guess my next step will be to hardwire a switch to the OD circuit and see if I can actuate it manually. I'm guessing if I cannot, then its a governor solenoid and sensor.

 

You can read trans temp I can with torque and my rams

 

Older ones? Ill find the link but I want to say that its 2005+ that can

 

Yep did it on my 96

 

What reader are you using?

 

A cheap no name bluetooth one I bought from Amazon

 

Awesome. Would you screenshot your PID info? I'd like to compare it to what I have and try yours if it is different.

 

I just dropped the pan. I went back and doublechecked the model number of the swapped transmission, and it is a 52119845aa. Google indicates that it came out of a 2001 ram 2500. The seller told me the truck had a 360. Sanity check, should this still be compatible with a 2001 ram 1500 with a 318?

I also noticed that this swapped pan has a magnet, and the original transmission doesn't.
