patelajit Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have a 2011 Dodge Journey (2WD, Mainstreet, 6 Cyl). 2 days ago, I was driving normal and suddenly Check Engine light came on. I had it checked at O'Reiley. I have a P0869 error code (Transmission Fluid Pressure High). I checked Google and it seems this could be a common code. The car runs fine.. Any ideas?

bigtsr Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have never seen it on my '11 SXT fwd. Seriously why would you not have it checked at a dealer? jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Obviously something to do with the transmission. Could be a sensor, could be something else. I would have it checked by a dealer or a reputable transmission shop. Probably sooner than later. Your car is telling you something is wrong. Continuing to drive could lead to transmission failure.

I was afraid to go to dealership because they will charge 200 just to check it and say you have to replace the transmission :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfurth Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 You've got a 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. So long as the issue is not outside of the transmission housing, it should be covered (and that should also include diagnostic work once identifying that there is something malfunctioning). The only way you should agree to pay a diagnostic charge (and $200 is WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too high) is if they plug in their computer, find no fault codes, and a full inspection that actually utilizes a technician's time reveals no faults either. Even if they have to tear out the entire transmission, you should be covered under the terms of the powertrain warranty (if it's still in effect for your vehicle). jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
