Chrysler Repair: transmision codes: 700,731,1776, chrysler concorde, electronic transmissions


Question
chrysler concorde 2002 codes 700,731,1776.

Answer
Hi Kamil,
Fortunately these codes point toward a problem that is not major such as to require removing/rebuilding the transmission. Essentially one of the hydraulic valves that is operated electrically is malfunctioning either due to a problem internal to it or possibly due to the electrical circuits that control it being faulty, or a pressure switch involved in its operation being faulty, or an electrical switch or the controller for the switch being faulty. There is a 10-step test procedure to sort out which is the cause that a competent transmission repair person who has a manual/training can perform efficiently to correct this. The important point is that you find a shop that is knowledgable and reputable with Chrysler brand electronic transmissions. I would ask around for references and if that is not practical I would approach the independent (not franchise) shops and tell them the codes and ask how much the diagnostic tests would be to decide which of the above repairs will correct the problem and at what cost. Then see which shops will accept the hypotheses that I have laid out as a basis for going forward as opposed to saying that they believe you need to rebuild it or hold out little prospect short of that.
Please let me know how this works out.
