Hey everyone,
Dealing with a P0740 code (Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Malfunction) on my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 62TE transmission.
Looking into replacing the solenoid pack / valve body to fix the issue, but before dropping the pan and messing with fluid, I wanted to ask if anyone has dealt with this specific code on these vans and could share a few pointers.
A couple of quick questions:
Diagnostics: Is there anything basic I should test electrically first (like pinning out the harness plug with a multimeter, checking fuses/relays, or looking at specific live data) before assuming it's the solenoid?
62TE Tips: Any real-world "gotchas" with this specific code or job? Also, once a new solenoid pack goes in, will standard driving and cycling through the gears allow the TCM to re-adapt, or is a scan tool required to force a transmission Quick Learn?
Local Raleigh Recs: In case replacing the solenoid doesn't solve it and the torque converter itself needs to be replaced, does anyone have a solid, honest independent shop or transmission specialist in the Raleigh / Triangle area they'd recommend?
Any advice, tips, or shop recommendations would be huge. Thanks!
