94 newyorker strange trasmisson problems
The control module may be at fault, but more likely it is one of the
electronic sensors that has detected an error condition or has failed completely. The transmission is programmed to go into "limp mode". This is actually 2nd gear (not 1st), and is intended to only be used to get the vehicle a short distance to get it serviced and save you a tow. The fact that it resets itself means the problem is intermittent so will not be easy to diagnose without the correct computerized tools to query the module and see why it took that action. Are there any other symptoms when this happens? In many cases the speedometer also fails at this same time and this indicts the output speed sensor. When was the transmission fluid and filter last changed? How many miles on the vehicle? Other info might help to determine if a fluid and filter change might also solve your problem. If you have recently changed the fluid/filter and have no other symptoms, then take it to a competent transmission service place that knows how to service Chrysler transmissions (make sure they know Chryslers since they are different and REQUIRE special fluid) or a Chrysler dealer. Let us know what you find.

Just go to a transmission shop and they will hook it up to the computer and tell you what the problem is. The computer that controls your transmission has made that decision, to drop into 2nd gear. It's designed to do that under a variety of conditions. |
