What is the error code P1762 on a 1997 ram van 2500?

Answer 1

There is a whole list of testing procedures but you need a DRBII scan tool to do the tests.

SYMPTOM

P1762-GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR OFFSET VOLTS TOO LOW OR HIGH

WHEN MONITORED

Continuously with the key ON and the engine running.

SET CONDITION

This code will set if the governor pressure is out of range in park or neutral for 1.3 seconds for three consecutive bad 3.0 second tests and sump temperature > 10 �C (50 �F) and <

127 �C (260 �F) are required to set the code.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Powertrain control module

Powertrain control module - 5 volt supply high

Powertrain control module - after 5 volt supply shorted to voltage

Powertrain control module - after 5 volt supply shorted to voltage in trans

Repair the 5 volt supply circuit and check the PCM

Replace the trans solenoid assembly and check the PCM

Intermittent condition

Powertrain control module - internal fault

5 volt supply circuit open

Check for other trans DTC's

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage inside trans

Check trans fluid level and condition

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to voltage

Park neutral DTC present

5 volt supply circuit shorted to ground

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to 5 volt supply circuit

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to 5 volt supply circuit inside trans

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to ground

5 volt supply circuit shorted to sensor ground

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit open inside trans

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to sensor ground

GOV pressure sensor signal circuit open

Governor pressure solenoid

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to ground inside trans

Powertrain control module - 5 volt supply circuit low

Sensor ground circuit open

Transmission line pressure low

Governor pressure sensor signal circuit shorted to sensor ground inside trans

5 volt supply circuit open inside trans

5 volt supply circuit shorted to ground inside trans

5 volt supply circuit shorted to sensor ground inside trans

Sensor ground circuit open inside trans

Governor pressure sensor

That means you go to your local Dodge dealer, grab the Governor Pressure Solenoid, Transducer, 2 gallons of Mopar ATF, a filter, and gasket and change them out. It takes about 1 hour total to do the job in your driveway.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE VALVE BODY

Once the pan is dropped and the filter is removed you will notice the wiring laced threw-out the valve body. These lead to your GPS and Transducer solenoid. I didn't want to go the dealer route and pay big bucks for the Governor Pressure sensor and Governor Pressure solenoid. With a little online searching I found Transtar Industries, Inc. at www.transtarindustries.com Part numbers where 20A-120A for the sensor and 5A-303 for the solenoid. The prices quoted me were just over $120 for both parts. This was $100s better than what the dealer quoted me. This was for a 1997 46RE transmission. Also applies to the 47RE trans.
