Have a 2008 Chrysler Aspen with P0765 Code from hell

Asked by Guru9FZ66Q Nov 19, 2022 at 02:47 PM about the 2008 Chrysler Aspen Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have a 2008 Chrysler Aspen that has to get up to about 2000 RPMS to start
moving forward and will occasionally jerk. This has been an ongoing Issue.
Throws a P0765 code so had the Shift Solenoid replaced and about a month
later it was doing the same thing. Took it to another garage and they said the
Transmission needed to be replaced. Put a remanufactured Transmission in
it and a week later it started doing the same thing. P0765 code is back and
they are going to replace the transmission again as its covered with a 4yr
Warranty. Seems like something is being missed. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Tech over kill , The problem could be anywhere in the wiring , The systems are so complicated you'd need a technician that actually cares to trouble shoot it . If the next tranny doesn't do the trick then I hope you've learned what cars NOT to buy . Drive around town till some idiot runs into it and you can collect the insurance money , should take a week or two

Shift solenoid D under drive on/off po765 is there an accompanying codes? Po700 or po888 look up ground connections for shift relay, once located flip fuse box over w a test light on the shift relay,connect clamp end of test light to known 12v-+ probe ground wire, should be black w a red stripe, traced out it will be in one of the main ground clusters on body should be the only wire w red on it rest In the group should be black w white stripe or solid black. Chryslers share this common issue. If wire does not test out you can fix it by completing circuit bypass, direct to ground, please pull wiring schematic to verify location and wiring color.

Ps shift relay completes ground to pcm for triggering next gear range. No signal or intermittent signal will give these kind of issues
