Symptoms-
Showing signs of slipping, hard shifts, erratic behavior that prior to the blow out of fluids never had happened before. Keep getting P0733 and P0734 DTC codes telling me that the errors in shifting in gears 3 and 4. Funny thing is it was getting those same codes with the original shift solenoid on the transmission when it arrived at the shop. I had to drive it home with that shift solenoid pack because the new one had not arrived yet.
This seems to tell me the TCM got damaged during the blowout situation or from the faulty shift solenoid we recently found out was a remanufactured piece of garbage put on 4 years ago with new speed sensors. So, having never changed a TCM in a 3rd Gen Chrysler (unlike PCM malfunctions in old Grand Caravan of same year) I need to know if replacing the TCM is most likely then does this particular year require it to be "flashed" or can it be installed and go through relearn stage. I know at some point Chrysler changed the TCM to the scanner required type just don't know when.
Trying to avoid another $100 per hour mechanic bill. This is a disability entry conversation van. We need this fast since it's getting colder and this van has been down 3 months.
