62TE Governor Pressure Solenoid

Shoppers often search for a 62TE governor pressure solenoid, but this six-speed does not have one. Governor pressure solenoids belong to older Chrysler rear-drive automatics; the 62TE controls every shift electronically through a solenoid and pressure switch pack bolted to the valve body. What this listing actually contains, per the photo and the supplier's description, is a five-piece set: a remanufactured 62TE solenoid pack (OE 05078709AB), a new transmission filter, a new pan gasket, and two parts that mount to the valve body outside the pack, labeled 05169313AA and 05078708AC. If your Grand Caravan, Journey, Town & Country or ProMaster is stuck in third gear with a stack of solenoid or pressure switch codes, this is the electrical side of the unit in one box.

What the solenoid pack does in a 62TE

The pack holds the shift solenoids, the line pressure variable force solenoid, the pressure switches that report back to the TCM, and the 23-way case connector. The TCM fires the solenoids to stack clutches for each of the seven forward ratios the 62TE uses, then watches the pressure switches to confirm each clutch actually applied. When a solenoid or switch stops making sense, the TCM shuts the solenoids off and the transaxle defaults to third. The two separate pieces in this set work alongside the pack: ATRA lists 5169313AA as the converter clutch solenoid, and our other 62TE pages identify 05078708AC as the line pressure sensor.

Symptoms this set addresses

• Stuck in third gear with the MIL on, which is the 62TE's limp-in gear.
• Several solenoid circuit codes at once, such as P0750 or P0755, or pressure switch codes like P0841.
• Converter clutch codes P2763 or P2764 with shudder or high cruise RPM.
• Line pressure codes P0868 or P0869 with soft or harsh shifts.
• Harsh 2-3 and 3-4 shifts after other causes, such as low fluid or a missing software update, have been ruled out.

How to confirm it before buying

Read every code first and check battery voltage and the transmission control relay feed, because the solenoids share one supply and a voltage fault fails them all at the same time. Our 62TE limp mode guide lays out the order of checks, including the relay and connector faults that look exactly like a dead pack. Then check the fluid level and condition. Sonnax has documented switch valve bore wear in the valve body that sets similar codes, which is covered in our 62TE valve body and solenoid guide; a pack will not fix a worn bore.

Fitment

The supplier lists every 62TE: 2007-2010 Sebring, 2007-2008 Pacifica, 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2008-2016 Town & Country, 2008-2014 Avenger, 2008-2020 Grand Caravan, 2009-2019 Journey, 2012-2015 Ram C/V, 2014-2021 Ram ProMaster 1500-3500 and 2009-2014 VW Routan. Compare the pack's connector and the two separate parts with what is on your valve body, and check the part number on your existing pack. Send us your year and VIN if you want us to confirm, or browse the 62TE parts collection. If you only need the pack itself, the refurbished 05078709AB solenoid pack is sold separately.

Install notes

• Disconnect the battery, drain the fluid and drop the pan. Remove the old filter.
• Unplug the case connector and remove the pack bolts. Inspect the valve body face and screens for debris before the new pack goes on.
• Swap the converter clutch solenoid and line pressure sensor with new O-rings lubricated in ATF+4, then torque all bolts to factory spec.
• Install the new filter and pan gasket and fill with ATF+4 only. The 62TE service kit with 6 qt of ATF covers the fluid.
• Clear codes and run the Quick Learn with a capable scan tool, then road test.

Does the 62TE have a governor pressure solenoid?

No. Governor pressure solenoids are found on older Chrysler rear-drive automatics. The 62TE controls shifts through a solenoid and pressure switch pack on the valve body, which is the main part in this set.

What is in the box?

Five pieces per the photo: a remanufactured 62TE solenoid pack (OE 05078709AB), a new filter, a new pan gasket, and two valve-body-mounted parts labeled 05169313AA and 05078708AC.

Will this get my van out of limp mode?

Only if the pack or one of the two valve body parts is the cause. Check battery voltage, the transmission control relay and the case connector first, because a power fault sets the same group of solenoid codes.

Which vehicles does it fit?

All 62TE applications, including the Grand Caravan, Town & Country, Journey, Chrysler 200, Avenger, Sebring, Pacifica, Ram C/V, Ram ProMaster and VW Routan. Match your connector and pack part number, or send us your year and VIN.

Do I need a scan tool after installing it?

Yes. Chrysler requires the TCM Quick Learn after solenoid pack or internal work, and the shifts may be poor until it is done.

What fluid does it use?

ATF+4 only. Do not use additives or a universal multi-vehicle fluid.
