ZERO STARS for service department. FEMALES BEWARE
My daughter visited the service department with explicit instructions to delete the transmission DTC Codes, reset the VLP Counters and do a transmission diagnostic. Service writer basically told her that we are Ram certified and the tech will do it correctly. She visited the dealership this morning and was told that she needed a new transmission in her Promaster. The codes were not cleared and the explanation was that they'd come back on anyways. This code comes on after 2,000 miles of fault detection. Service writer refused to do the job that was requested and charged for the diagnostics.
"P1745 – Line Pressure Too High for Too Long. This code is for 62TE and typically requires the "Clear Variable Line Pressure (VLP) Counters” procedure to be performed with a scanner under miscellaneous functions"
"The P1745 code sets when transmission line pressure has been too high for too long. This can be set by an internal trans issue (not likely), the line pressure solenoid, the solenoid's wiring, an inaccurate line pressure sensor or it's wiring, or an internal failure in the powertrain control module"
"The p1745 code is informational for the tech. Your transmission is operating in open loop line pressure for 2000 miles or 1000 2-3 upshifts. Tranny not designed to operate in open-loop for extended period. To erase the DTC you need to reset the VLP shift counter and the output tooth counter"
