03 trans problems
I just took a 500 mile trip and my trans started acting up. Everything will be going fine then the trans temp and O/D off lights will flash while my trans downshifts. It only lasts a 1/2 second then everything returns to normal. I tried to pinpoint what conditions cause it but it is completely intermittent. Any ideas?

If it is a diesel the problem can be the cable between the engine computer and the computer on the transmission. Check to see if the connection points are corroded at the transmission. There was a recall on this connection problem several years ago that the pin connection on the trans allowed water to get in. If this happens it can cause erratic transmission functions and it usually will go into the limp mode. Sometimes if it sits overnight the computer will clear. It will eventually not clear and Hello Shop. I had this problem with my '03 dually diesel. Another issue is if one of the wires in the cable between the engine and transmission fails or breaks. It took Chrysler engineers and a very smart technician at the dealer to figure this out on my truck. No problems since then.
