azontodance Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hi Guys, Thanks for the previous help. I have 2019 Dodge Journey SE. When started, the reverse camera comes on and the dash shows "R" and message "Vehicle not in park" This started just few days ago. Once i put it in drive, it will work normal until I park it again. Furthermore, the first gear is very very slow. its makes the engine sounds like you are force it to work. I pulled code of P0706, P0731, P1790. I pretty sure P0706 will fix all the other codes. Does anyone knows the location of the Transmission range sensor ? on 2019 dodge journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 i googled this from your question....... Transmission range sensor ? on 2019 dodge journey.= also you might want to try this on you tube as well Depending on the car in question, the Transmission Range Sensor may often be referred to as the neutral safety switch or PRNDL (Park-Reverse-Neutral-Drive-Low) input and can be found outside the transmission box or on the valve body.

tsteves5 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I assume that you are talking about the 6-speed 62TE transmission. The range sensor is located inside the transmission near the valve body. Per the service manual you have to pull the valve body to access it. You can find plenty of Youtube videos that show how to pull the valve body from a 62TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Your having lots of weird low milage issues that aren’t that common. Was this a flood vehicle. Search the Mopar sites, or Rockauto. https://parts.motorcitychrysler.ca/ Purge valve is an emissions part, usually it has the longest warranty on vehicles , 8 ish years by federal regulations. Flood car probably no warranty. Edited January 27, 2023 by John/Horace Locosiete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unplugged it to show you guys the sensor. U can identify it by looking at the plugs. The other side of the sensor is inside the tranny pan.

Eric Mangham Jr Posted Saturday at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:00 PM Is there a video showing how to replace this on my 2.4 L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Replacing the transmission range sensor (or switch) on a 4-speed Dodge Journey is typically an external repair. It involves disconnecting the negative battery terminal, removing the battery and airbox for access, unbolting the shift linkage, and swapping the electrical switch. The entire process takes about 1 to 2 hours. [1, 2, 3, 4] Tools Needed Socket wrench set (including 8mm and 12mm sockets) Wrench extensions and a swivel joint Pliers Screwdriver or clip removal tools Brake cleaner and silicone grease Jack and jack stands (if working partially from underneath) [1] Step-by-Step Replacement Prepare the vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and shift the vehicle into neutral. Let the engine cool. [1, 2] Gain access: Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the air filter box/snorkel and the battery. Remove the battery tray to fully expose the top of the transmission housing where the sensor is mounted. [1, 2, 3] Disconnect the shift cable: Locate the shifting cable linkage attached to the sensor. Use pliers to gently remove the retaining clip from the cable and set it aside. [1, 2] Remove the shifting lever: Locate the 12 mm nut securing the shift lever to the sensor shaft. With the lever still pulled into neutral, remove this nut and slide the shifting lever off the shaft. [1] Unbolt the sensor: Unplug the main electrical connector from the transmission range sensor. Then, remove the bolts (usually two 8mm bolts) holding the sensor to the transmission housing. You may need an extension and swivel socket for the bottom bolt. [1] Remove the old sensor: Carefully pull the old sensor off the shaft. Ensure the old seal or O-ring does not get stuck inside the housing. [1, 2] Install the new sensor: Clean the splines with brake cleaner and apply a light coat of silicone grease. Align the flat spot on the new sensor with the flat spot on the vehicle's spline (rotate to the neutral position if necessary). Slide it in parallel to prevent resistance. [1] Reassemble: Bolt the sensor down securely, reattach the shifting lever and the 12 mm nut, clip the shifting cable back into place, and plug in the electrical connector. [1] Finalize: Reinstall the battery tray, battery, and airbox, and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Post-Installation Start the vehicle and shift through all gears to confirm smooth operation and that the gear indicator in your dashboard works correctly. If your check engine light was on, you will need an OBD2 scanner to clear the old transmission range sensor codes (such as P0705 or P0706).
