Eugelicious44 Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Good day, you guys hope it runs well. I have a 2017 dodge journey 3.6l . I got a code. I read it at the Dodge. Dealership, it started out with a shift solenoid. G, then a fluid pressure switch, send the isolenoid pack then the p c m. After over $2000, my transmission is still overheating. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean H Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 (edited) First, do you know how to select the available gauges on the display screen located between the speedometer and tachometer? Under vehicle info on the screen menu there are several engine gauges to display. Find the engine coolant and transmission fluid temperature gauges. We need to know what your engine coolant temperatures are first. Determine, if the cooling system is working correctly. What are the transmission fluid temperatures at the same time. When it's overheating. Edited September 23 by Dean H larryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugelicious44 Posted September 30 Author Report Share Posted September 30 Hi, Dean. I am test driving my journey right now. My transmission temperature is up to228 oil 190 coolant 190. So the radiator has straight water in it. No antifreeze, so i'm going to put some antifreeze and see if maybe that helps cool it off, maybe a little bit, I don't, I don't know what else to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean H Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 (edited) Very Important!! The correct type of ANTIFREEZE! For my 2016 DJ it is a Orange antifreeze. Type called OAT. You need to do a complete refill of the entire system with the pre mixed antifreeze. This is the #1 issue you need to correct. Before you do overheat and cook your engine and transmission!
