P0765 on Dodge by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The 42RLE 4-speed automatic in V6 Chargers suffers from solenoid failures and corrosion in the 10-pin solenoid harness connector. It causes slipping, harsh shifts, limp mode, and P0750/P0755/P0760/P0765 codes. On some 2006 Chargers with the 42RLE, the cup plug that retains the park pawl anchor shaft may be improperly installed, which can keep the transmission from reaching Park (DaimlerChrysler recall 05V460).
Common Symptoms
- Slipping gears
- Harsh shifts
- Transmission stuck in limp mode
- P0750/P0755/P0760/P0765 codes
- Speed limited to 40 mph in limp mode
How to Fix
Install the new-design 42RLE 10-pin connector (a dealer wiring repair) and replace the solenoid pack. Verify the park pawl recall has been completed. Use ONLY Mopar ATF+4 (68218058AC).
