46RE Pressure Control Solenoid 2000, new and ready to install. Fits the 46RE. Ships fast from the USA.
On a 46RE, the part sold as a "pressure control solenoid" is the governor pressure solenoid, and this listing is the full governor service kit for 2000-and-later trucks: a Ram 1500 or gas 2500, Dakota or Durango with the 5.2L or 5.9L V8 that shifts at the wrong road speed, starts in second, hangs in first, or has a P1762 or P1763 stored. Because a 2000 model year truck can carry either sensor generation, read the fitment section before you order.
The 46RE has no line-pressure EPC solenoid like a Ford or a 68RFE. Line pressure is still set hydraulically. What the electronics control is governor pressure, the road-speed signal that pushes the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves against throttle pressure. The solenoid lives in a small governor body bolted under the transfer plate, takes line pressure in and bleeds it down. It is inverse-acting: about one amp of average current means 0 psi, and no current means maximum. The transducer next to it reports the pressure actually made, and the PCM trims its duty cycle from that reading. Around 40 mph the PCM lets the solenoid go to full pressure to hold the upper shifts, which is why governor faults ruin low-speed shifting while highway cruise feels normal.
Check charging voltage first. An overcharging alternator can drag the sensor's 5-volt reference up and set P1762 on a perfectly good transducer. Then compare Governor Pressure Desired against Actual on a scan tool and put a 100 psi gauge on the governor port: with the wheels stopped in Drive it should read no more than 3 psi. If the gauge matches the scan tool, the sensor is honest and the solenoid is the problem; if they disagree, the sensor is. Chrysler's own tech tip for P1762 names transducer 56028196AD as the correction and warns to inspect the harness near the solenoid pack, because a misrouted harness alone can set the code. Our 46RE governor and pressure control solenoid guide walks the whole test, and the 46RE speed sensor guide covers the output sensor side.
The kit is listed for A518 46RE and A618 47RE transmissions from 2000 up. The important detail is the sensor: late-design units use a rectangular plastic transducer connector, while 1999-and-earlier units use an oval connector, and some early 2000 trucks were still built with the earlier design. The two generations do not interchange. Pull the pan and look at the connector on your transducer, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. If your truck has the oval style, use the 1996-99 46RE pressure control solenoid instead. Everything else we carry for this transmission is on the 46RE parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The 46RE has no EPC solenoid. This kit replaces the governor pressure solenoid and transducer, which set the 1-2 and 2-3 shift points, plus the output speed sensor the governor logic depends on.
Most likely, but some early 2000 trucks still used the earlier transducer with an oval connector. This kit carries the late rectangular-connector sensor. Check the connector or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
Chrysler's tech tip for P1762 points to the transducer and the harness near the solenoid pack, not the solenoid. Check charging voltage and wiring first. This kit replaces both, which makes sense on a high-mileage truck.
ATF+4. Replace the filter and pan gasket included in the kit, refill, and set the level hot with the engine idling in Park.
There is no adaptive relearn for the governor system. The PCM recalibrates the transducer zero on its own every time the output shaft drops below about 200 rpm, so a road test with several stops verifies the repair.
