T/C van trans stuck in low gear
Does anyone know what control module would cause above problem? Dealer
told my mom it would cost $500 for part $40 to install. Also any other possible causes or less expensive fixes, rebuilt part, for example. |

Could be the Transmission Control Module, could be something other than the TCM...a bad input speed sensor, a bad output speed sensor, or other problems. You don't mention what year the van is, but if it's out of warranty, the dealer's the wrong place to go for service. DS |

These trannies default to second gear if the computer that controls them gets sufficiently unhappy. It might be something as simple as a loose electrical connection. If this happened to my Voyager I'd take it to a good tranny shop rather than a dealer. |

It was first taken to a Her regular mechanic who checked the speed sensors and stated it was a code he was unfamiliar with and recommended the dealer. I was looking for a heads up before calling the dealer for her. Jay |

Mine did that a couple of years back. I'll look in the service pouch and see what part they replaced tonight and report back tommorrow. I believe it was the speed sensor. As I recall about $180 total job. However, since they did that repair my cruise control has not functioned properly. Slams back from coast with a significant drive train clunk. Used to be nice and smooth. They ( dealer) swear no relevance to what they did. But they would be more than happy to look at it for me. Very coincidental.....maybe someone knows what the cause is.
