golunnova Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I managed to get my LGT with snow tires stuck while pulling out of my driveway and I tried to power my way out with and without traction control on. After several tries, I got a CEL and the ATF OIL TEMP light went on. I pulled the P0700 code using my AP, which only tells me I have a TCM code stored. Using the method where you turn on the car, turn on headlights, push odometer button 4 times and repeat, I was able to pull the following codes. C0045 and C0047. No codes were stored in the TCM as I only got a P. I believe the two codes are related to the wheel speed sensors in the rear left/right wheels. Will the codes clear after I drive the car around normally or did I royally mess up my car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That's normal for a car stuck in the snow. do 4 on/off start cycles and the codes will clear. Even happend to my 2000 GT wagon when I floated it on the snow. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

rob-2 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It's because the car thinks something is wrong with the sensors after recording long periods of spinning wheels at different speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Had a flashing CC light after the tires spun in second gear getting on to one highway from exiting another feeder highway. I wanted to pass the slower cars so I went thru the wet heavy snow, took the car up to 85mph and then slowed. I noticedthe flashing CC, I pushed in the clutch turned the key to off, then started the car again, the light went out and CC worked. Oh I also put a new H7 bulb in the left front. Then drove to VT. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

golunnova Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well I drove the car up to 6 times since the CEL came on but the CEL still hasn't turned off. The TCU failed code shows a blinking P instead of a P----. Right now I have the traction control off light, the check engine light and a flashing cruise control light. Any thing else I should look into? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golunnova Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Drove around some more today and the CEL is finally gone. I guess it took more drive cycles than I expected. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 According to my Mopar mechanic friend, the CEL will take longer to clear if the fault condition existed for a long time frame. ie: if you drove with your gas cap off for a week, it would take a few days for it to clear. Whereas if you put it back on when you noticed the CEL, it'd clear quickly. I haven't tested his theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
