Why does my caravan only go to linp mode if overdrive is enabled.
!994 caravan 3.3L 4 speed automatic 182,000 miles
IT has been jumping to limp mode very frequently the last couple weeks. I discovered today that if I turn off the overdrive, the problem does not happen. Does anyone have any ideas about what this info might tell me about the problem? I have changed the pan screen/fluid, checked the speed sensors tightened the battery cables and added an extra ground strap to the chassis. |

If so what/when? It doesn't seem to be, at least none I can get through the key switch method. It is the early code system, so the device they have at the car parts places can't get to the detailed transmission codes. |

Even if they charge you it will likely be money well spent for the time saved and unneeded parts bought. |

Why does my caravan only go to linp mode if overdrive is enabled.
do not listen to these ****ing communist people.
the dam thing, is run by the computer of the transmission, that has to do with the overdrive. So you have , faulty software. Why do you need to scan it, I will tell why, because they want you to, go give them money for doing so, when it will not fix a dam thing. Its a fact, that zillions of caravan owners, are with numerous problems that the dam things, will not even run because of that transmission computer, and also the main brain computer, for they both talk to each other, which is the largest crock of **** I ever saw anyone ever make. It is communist thievery, and it is time, to kill these *******s that sell you this ****. For I am serious about the numerous problems, so many that, even in the junk yards, you can find numerous caravans, all piled up, that have not one thing wrong with the body on them. So if your need of body parts, that will never be a problem. For you certainly would not the dealer for that. In my opinion, you dont need them for anything. Its time to delete the Dodge dealer, and you would be surprised, for the others are made much of them, the same way. Get rid of the caravan. What will happen is eventually it will not start, after it dies on you somewhere. And get something that has manual transmission with a clutch. For changing the software, does not work, people have already been forking out all kinds of money doing that, and it does absolute nothing for they are back with the same problem later again afterwards. Someone should of stopped this communism long ago about the car dealers. Thieves. All they need in them, is a set of points, and a real distributor. And a transmission that does not use a computer to shift gears with to over drive, like the button on the stick shift works just fine instead. It is the same thing as stealing, and that is exactly how, God the Father Almighty sees it. A real mess this is. If you buy anything, make certain it is like, the old ones were built. Cause its way better for you to get an older model and pay for the antique, then to pay to have these new communist wi fi controled computers in your cars that anyone, can turn off, because, that is how the new ones are made now. We have a 98, and it is with the same problem you were speaking of, then it stopped, and will not start. We opened the timing cover, and the belt and marks were all ok... Imagine, a engine that is just fine, and will not run. Sicko Dodge Dealer. Same as in, Sicko every kind of brand name car and truck made now. all made the same way, even the Durango, the Jeep, many, are all made of the same computers in them. http://www.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/Grand_Caravan/ http://www.carcomplaints.com/Dodge/G...to_start.shtml On 7/26/2015 11:37 AM, Ken Olson wrote: > On 7/25/2015 7:33 PM, Bob F wrote: >> NotMe wrote: >>> "Bob F" > wrote in message >>> ... >>>> !994 caravan 3.3L 4 speed automatic 182,000 miles >>>> >>>> IT has been jumping to limp mode very frequently the last couple >>>> weeks.
