Hi,
I have 2000 Dodge Caravan SE 3.0 litre engine.
Couple of days ago while driving, van suddenly felt like it was choking. I could press the gas paddle and could hear the engine rpms going up, but the car would not move. Hooked up a OBD read and found P0700 codes (check engine light was on). Took it in for transmission oil and filter change, remove the battery neg terminal to clear codes.
Turned the iginition on as soon as the engine started check engine light came on and scanned P0700 again. Now the car still kind of chokes at times and also when I start the car and try to do a full turn it dies. I have to wait a minute or so after starting the car to make a full turn like coming out of the driveway.
Any suggestions? before I take it to a mechanic?
Thanks in advance

 

P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction

 

You'll need to go into the TCM and get the stored codes. If you have either a input or output speed sensor code, replace the sensor.

 

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I cleared the codes last night (using a ELMScan OBDII reader and software). Drove the car for a while then got on the freeway, as I was getting on the on ramp, I felt the car jerk or drop speed, check engine light came on and the car did not seem like it was changing gears, I think it was stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear.
Scanned the codes again and got P0700 and P0755.
Any further comments and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

 

I am having the same or simular problem, the tranny was replaced 10 months ago.
The problem starts when the speedo starts bouncing at low speeds and then you when you come to a stop the speedo sits at 20 mph. went to the tranny shop that swapped it 10 months ago and they replaced the input and output sensor and changed the fluid and same problem.

 

P0755 is a 2/4 pressure code, it could a solenoid pack or a wiring problem. I would replace the solenoid pack 1st and reck.

 

Hi Everyone,
Thankyou all for your responses. I finally took the van to the dealership, they ofcourse scanned the car themselves and replaced the 2-4 solenoid pack. $550.00 but atleast now the car is usable. They also replaced CLKSPRING as part of the recall (this was free of charge).
Again thankyou all, appreciate your input and time

 

I am having problems with my Van it is 2000 Caravan Plus with a 3.0l Auto. I just swaped motors from a 1999 with the ECM on Passenger side. left the trans from the 2000 in it. I got some codes not sure how to Fix them. they were not there from before as i drove both vans, the codes are as Fallows p0108,p1782/p0731,p0700, I do not have a book on this van at all. i woule like to know where the Components are for these codes and how to make the Van Run. it does not idle unless i put my foot on the Peddle to keep it going, Also i can not get the Gauges to work on the Dash. Fuses are all good, any body know whats going on.?

 

I can tell you what the codes are but most are transmisson and that's more MT's bag. P0108 - Map sensor voltage too high. P0700 - Internal transmission controller. P0731 - Gear ratio error in 1st gear. P1782 - 2-4 pressure switch sense circuit.

Map sensor high, check the vacumn lines to make sure they are all connected, probably why it won't idle. The other 3 I'll leave for those more qualified.

 

after many problems and lots of money, I found a great Tech and he pointed out the if the alternators electrorics start to interfer with the tranny control module. he replaced the altonator and problem gone of rover a year
