I have been going in to limp mode while driving and I notice it on high rpms and I try to manually shift using the + - on the shifter and nothing works. I pull over and restart the vehicle and all is well till it does it again. I cleaned this board and yes it was very dirty on the break points. Now it hasnt done it at all and it even shifts better. Thank you I was about to replace the transmission and honestly it would have done the same thing!!!!
@@MrV2uDear MrV2u, Thank you for sharing this video it is really a stress reliever for some. I have another kind of problem with my ESM, it works properly in All PRND but, when I put it on Drive, I can't shift to - +, is there a way of adjusting this issue? (I am able to move the "handle" left right but cant go from D to 4321...) I opened the upper part as you showed in the vid, There are two thin metallic pieces surrounding the black plastic square that is attached to the white horizontal one (shifter)... Should these be the problem? Could they be cleaned or adjusted? Many thanks😊😊
@@MrV2u To be honest, this problem appeared right after the "cover band" broke (the thing that covers against dust), so I had to open and remove it... and then this problem appeared (any relation to this manoeuvre?)
I've been a transmission tech for 21 years. You did a fantastic job on this video my friend! helped my stress level tons! Thanks, take care and God bless!
Thanks brother for the feedback. I try to be as thorough as possible. Bless you as well. If you have any further questions I’m always here to help my friend.
Update: The small two wire connector at the right rear of the shifter was broken. The big connector was fine. The board was new so someone had their hands in it before me. Made sure it was back together correctly and it worked perfect. Customer was happy.... Thanks again!
Too many cooks in the kitchen. Good catch my friend. Tracing electrical problems could be quick or an all day deal. I just had a guy with the same issue and swapped out the esm twice, and cleaned each one twice like I showed. Still having issues. I bet that’s his issue as well. Keep in touch brother.
Had mine replaced to my 2007 jeep three years ago cost me $1400 having the same problem found your video took it apart myself cost me nothing but the can of cleaner. Thank you.
Three years later and you're still helping people! Just wanted to say thank you for the detailed video. I had the same issues and was happy to find out that it was a rather simple fix. Thanks again.
Your very welcome brother. I try my best to help out as much as I can. Glad it worked out good for you brother. If you should ever need any more advice I’m always around.
Hello , I have 2006 Jeep , my dash lights were all flashing having no problems with shifting . Plugged the code reader in # u0404 Gear shift control module . Can I do this to my Jeep ? I’m not sure what to do
You sir, rock. I've a 06 Commander. The exact same shift module and interior shown on your video. Had the exact same codes and lights come on that you shown when I drove in to Buffalo from Jamestown NY a few weeks ago. Since I pretty much just bought the Jeep used, thoughts of "Crap, what did I get myself into??" flew through my head. Did research, found your channel. Spent yesterday doing exactly, step by step following along in your video. Worked perfectly. Thank you again for being such a valued resource and doing them is such a clear, concise and no "techno-jargon" that the average layman can follow. :)
Everything is the exact same on the commander as the Grand. The dreaded first drive lol. I'm glad I could help a fellow Jeeper out. Thanks for the feedback it means the world to me. If you should ever run into anything I'm always around for help.
My Jeep is having this same situation and no one, neither the dealer had been able to tell me what it was. All they said was that it was an issue with something related to vapor emitions, that my car would not pass the regular revision due to contamination issues. May the Lord bless you and multiply your business, for all the help that you have delivered to so many people, including me. Thank you so much.
Ricardo Cajina does it have a check engine light on or do you know the codes it has? If the lights around the indicator are all on like mine this should fix it no problem. Let me know I’ll dig into it more and try to help you. Thanks so much for your blessings. All things possible with Him at our side.
Hello again MrV2u, I do not know the codes, but the mechanic checked in on and said two things: The EGR valve is giving slight problems, it is recommended to replace it. And the error that it shows is related to transmission gear, but on the scanner it reads something like unspecific error, so there is no code. He said he had to check if there was a situation with the gear or the solenoid. But on the EGR subject, I found this Omix-Ada 17712.05 EGR Valve that indicates to fit my vehicle. Can you tell me if I should buy this instead of a Mopar EGR valve which Price is twice the Omix-Ada one.?
The omix-ada 17712.05 is for a 05-06 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 motor. If that’s what you got go for it brother. I’ve seen codes set off random codes and once you fix one problem the rest clear. Let me know how it works out brother.
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before, but had to in order to thank you for posting this video. I recently bought a 2005 Jeep Cherokee Laredo and these same error messages kept happening. I showed this video to the mechanic that I bought the Jeep from, he cleaned the graphite off, and I haven’t had any issues since then. He didn’t even charge me for the fix. So thank you so much for this video, as it popped right up when I searched for the issue I was having.
What kind of problems were you having ? My dash lights were flashing having no problems of shifting, I plugged my code reader in and it’s saying # u0404 Gear control module. I don’t know what to do . It still drives fine dash lights are gone .
It can drive ok for now but eventually you’ll have shifting issues and might go into limp mode. Try to clean it and prevent other issues down the road brother.
Thanks man. Jeep wouldn't shift on the highway on my way home form work. Followed this and fixed it. Your the best and your videos always appear when I need help. I hope the views and subs are helping take care of you and make making the videos worth it cause it's saving me time and money
I had this problem recently. Cherokee was stuck in 3rd gear and check engine light came on. Took apart the gear shift and the control board was fairly dirty. I didn’t have any electronic cleaner, so I used some mass airflow sensor cleaner instead. I figured they’re the same. Put it all back together, Jeep ran normal and the check engine light turned off the next day. Getting to the control board, I had to use smaller hex/star whatever screwdriver. But the process was all the same really. I wonder if because my Cherokee is the special 65 year edition, that maybe the hardware was a little different than yours. Anyways, I’m writing to tell you how grateful I am you posted this. I bought my Cherokee in December of 08 and had her for almost 15 years now. My wife wants a newer vehicle, but seeing how the price of everything these days is so ridiculous, I’d rather fix our cars up than put up with dealerships and the quick depreciation of newer cars. Thanks again man, these kinds of how to videos are lifesavers
I had a 65th anniversary too brother. I agree with you 100 percent with keeping your current car up and running as long as possible. Interest rates let alone new car prices are astronomical. I make my videos to help people save their hard earned money. Thanks for the feedback brother. Keep on Jeeping.
I’m currently in my bed smiling because I own a 05 Cherokee and I’ve been experiencing this issue going on a week now. For the first time something makes sense! Can’t wait to get up tomorrow morning to knock this out, will let you know how it goes.
Awesome video, and let me just add that this is also the same thing I do on my 06 JEEP SRT8, I just don’t have to remove the whole centre console, I just remove the shifter, turns out it’s an actual Mercedes part that’s no longer available anyway, I have done that exact procedure about 10 times so far over the past 15 years, as the car simply just stops going into manual shift and only has auto, I remove the shifter, clean the board, put it back, clear the code, and then you MUST drive the car for a while before the transmission resets and the manual shifting comes back, I haven’t been able to put a mileage on when it works again, but I know within a few days of driving it SHOULD work, other wise I have to clean it again as i would have not cleaned it right corner anyway, thanks for this great video, just remember, you can remove the screws of the shifter and disconnect the 2 wires and it would come off without removing the whole console. Make sure you don’t forget to alight the pins on the board with the plug on the fixed connector plug or it won’t supply power to the shifter.
I’m glad the video helped you brother. It means a lot to know that I could help someone save their hard earned money. If you ever have any questions on it I’m always around for advice.
I literally just found out that my Grand Cherokee has this code and your video is very helpful. I plan on getting the same tools to do this. Lord knows that Jeeps can be a huge pain to repair. Wish me luck! 🤞
Right on! Sitting at my kids school with my Launch code reader. Engine light came on on the way here so i checked codes. Have the exact codes on my 07 commander. Its been intermittent the last year or 2. Super helpful video! Cant wait to tear mine apart and clean it up!
A year later and it finally did it again. I still haven't done the job! It's time now, and it's 15 degrees outside. Don't be me! Lol. This morning my wife had the jeep just straight shut off at the school. Wouldn't do anything! Not even a click. The only code I have is the code for improper data rec'd from esm.
@@TheOnlyBuddyLeeI just completed the job! Took 2 hours total and was easier than I expected really. Time will tell if this fixes the issue. Fingers crossed! I'll update in a few days.
I was having the same problem with my jeep been pricing it out and was gonna cost A LOT to fix stumbled on this video and tried this out today actually had the video playing as I was doing it never would have thought to do this fixed my problem right away thank you so much for sharing this video you really saved my bacon
5588rasta glad I could help brother. Good job on fixing it yourself and saving a lot of money. I try to do it all without having to go to the stealership lol.
Hey man quick question what was it doing dor you to have to do this ours is ahifting to like 3rd and it quits shifting shut if off start it back up and its dine until it does it again any info would help
It was acting a fool. Lol this issue would cause anything from: hard shifts, holding gears longer than normal, putting the Jeep into limp mode, illuminating all the shift indicators on the dash, check engine light, feels like the Jeep is bucking, etc etc. Its not a bad job to do, and will save you money in the long run. Let me know if that helps or how you make out brother.
@@richardbeach8689 causes of the P0700 code could be: Faulty transmission control module, Transmission valve body fault, Shift solenoid issues, Open or short in the wiring harness. With that many miles brother I’m leaning toward getting the tranny rebuilt. Sorry to say brother.
@@MrV2u @ OMG ! i finally open the transmission shift box as you shown us , but my 2009 Jeep GC is using magnetic control , no graphite , now i have a code U 0101 [ lost communication with TCM ] , what should i do now ?
@@xuchun5371 it could of popped up when you disconnected the battery. If you can clear the code and take it for a test drive. It is more than likely nothing to worry about. Let me know if the code comes back.
@@MrV2u @ thank you for quick reply, i did nothing except put the assemble back , engine light come on after 15 minutes but car driving fine , i will bring it to autozone ask for clear the code and continue test drive it ,
They might be soldered to the circuit boards bro. Pull the switch out and check, but I’m pretty sure there not replaceable unless you solder them off and get some new ones to solder back on.
Thanks man I have a 2006 with 126,000 miles same issue. I found your video and just finished. Works great. Thanks again your video was so detailed it made the job easy.
I had this done at a local mechanic and he charged me $700! I wish I knew this beforehand since it’s not a bad job to do if mechanically inclined. My trans is fried now and need a replacement. Love my Jeep but it’s been a huge headache for the last 2 years.
@@MrV2u il famoso errore p0303 cylinder misfire. Non riesco a capire quale soluzione adottare ... però mi sembra che tu anche per questo hai fatto un video.
Molte volte, la P0303 si verifica quando ci sono candele usurate o una bobina di accensione difettosa. Quand'è stata l'ultima volta che l'hai incasinato?
@@MrV2u scusa se rispondo solo ora, ho percorso circa 10000km da quando ho sostituito le candele , ma già subito dopo hanno sempre manifestato il problema p0303 , a questo punto credo che sia una bobina, sai come posso fare ad individuare quelle funzionanti? Grazie mille per il tuo prezioso aiuto
La cilindrata tre è il cilindro centrale sul lato del conducente. Comincia con la sostituzione del coil pack e fammi sapere come fai a fare il fratello.
Awesome, here is my tip on top, The car will still drive in auto but not in semi manual mode , I have to literally do this with my 06 Jeep SRT8 every 8-12 months, cause that’s a Mercedes part that’s not easy to come by at a cost of $800, You DON’T need to dismantle the entire console, just remove the shifter module, and disconnect the cable, document how you take it apart with photos first time you take it out if you’re unsure, The idea is to clean out the board, so cotton tips, buds and electronics cleaner, rub any graphite you see parallel to the board and make sure you do it many times over and over till it doesn’t show any dirt on the cotton. You’ll have to be gentle with the clips the most as you take it apart, clean out the housing and the underneath area while you’re at it, What I found is that in most cases it will take about a 1 to 3 days of driving for it to work again after you clear the codes or just put it back together, some days it worked right away and other times it took a few days. Just be patient and don’t rush it, this is not something you want to break, scratch or damage by any means. If it doesn’t work after a few days of driving, repeat the process and it will eventually work, it just means it needs more cleaning. You don’t have cleaning solution, use alcohol wipes, but not direct alcohol LOL
Thanks my brother. I try to be as thorough as possible. Hey if you or someone else ever needs help you can say you got a guy. I’m always around for advice.
Thank you..... I have three different lights on..... traction control,ESP BAS... And the code came up...lost connection to shift module .... Hopefully this will fix it.....
You think the ESM would be the issue for a 07 grand cherokee 4.7 stuck in park even if it's not throwing any codes for it? Professional computer didn't find anything for it... First issue I noticed was when I put it in park and shut the car off the wheel wouldn't lock, I could turn it all the way around. Then I would have issues getting the key to turn over had to jiggle it for a while. Finally one day when the key wouldn't turn over I pulled the shifter into neutral to try to get the key to turn, it didn't so I put it back in park. Finally got the key to turn and that's when it was stuck in park, been like that since.
Dylan Webb awhile back there was a recall for the ignition switch. Has that been done to your Jeep? Seems to me like a ignition switch issue. If you have heavy keys on your key ring that could throw it off. That’s what the dealer says lol. Let me know if you had the recall done.
Thanks for the very descriptive video! Great job! The only question I have is, Why take the entire console out? I was able to do it just as you said but the unit pulled right up without moving the whole console..
Bill Gegen more easier lol. I was showing you the correct way. But there is always more ways to skin a cat. Glad I could help you brother. Thanks for the feedback.
Awesome video! This just fixed my 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I will say, not thinking I started rubbing off the graphite not just between the gaps. It's all good though, my car no longer bucks when shifting park to reverse.
Eccezionale, anche questa volta mi ai aiutato a risolvere il problema, l’altra volta con il radiatore e questa volta con la leva delle marce.. grazie mille
@@sbar4862 my bad… it’s pleasure to help my sistah. I’m glad my video can help you. I try to be as thorough and to the point in all my videos. Let me know how you make out or if you have any other questions.
I have the same code on my 06 Grand Cherokee Laredo followed your instructions to tthe letter , nothing changed Great job on your video but what the next course of action should I take? I just turned over 304,000 miles on my jeep and outside of routine preventive maintenance Ive had no issues till nowany and all advice would be appreciated thanks in advance for your time and efforts.
Most likely you need a rebuild or swap it out for a junk yard tranny with low miles. It all depends on your budget. I replied to your other comment with more information brother. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
05 Jeep Grand Cherokee, stuck in 1st gear, and also when I turn off and turn back on and try to drive it says the e brake is on. Throwing the code you showed of the p700 keeps been acting funny for a while throws the shifts hard or stays stuck or goes slow etc hopefully this will fix.
Great video.. I did the same.. but, the shifter was shifting 1-5.. Had to replace the whole shifter assembly.. Thank you for the video though.. Helped a lot.
This worked for me, I used a pencil eraser to good effect cleaning the spaces between the contract surfaces. It worked seriously well. Clean the eraser residue afterwards so I'd doesn't collect the graphite as fast.
No brother it has to make that contact. The graphite makes it possible to slide across the contacts, but when it builds up and makes that solid connection it messes things up.
Thank you for this video. It is not only helpful but simple to follow as well. Just a quick question though. Will this work on a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi that has the 5 speed gear box or is it just for the 3.7? Great video brother. Just had to say that again.
Thanks Greg means a lot to know I’m helping out. It will work in your Jeep as well. Let Mel. Is how you make out or if you have any other questions. Good luck my friend.
My 06 shows (1) highlighted all the time and won’t turn over by the key and wen I make it run jumping the relay the gear id on the cluster stays on (1) gear. I’ve ordered a replacement shifter assembly being mine is cracked anyway. Hope thus is my issue as well.
@@MrV2u wen I try the key it triggers started and fuel pump relay but no start. If I hold the key in start position and trigger the relay it stats fine and runs well 5.7 Jeep. The 1 gear shows selected on the cluster no matter where the shifter is like it’s in manual shift mode and stuck in 1. I assumed that’s why it won’t start with the key …Neutral safety switch
Thank you so much for the video bro. Saved myself a headache as I'm a Mobile Mechanic and came across this issue. The only problem I have is, the Jeep won't start correctly. It starts when I hit the gas but has Hella trouble staying on, and dies when I let go of the gas pedal. There are NO codes but the UO404. That's it. Any suggestions? Was your engine messing up like I described?
Mine wasn’t doing that. Have you tried to clean the IAC and throttle body? Use throttle body cleaner not carb cleaner. It can also be a throttle position sensor. Try cleaning first and let me know how you make out.
My 06 Grand Cherokee has been pulling the codes P0700 and U0404. I did everything in the video and the light stayed on. I turned it off with my code reader and it stayed off for a few ignition cycles. When the light came back on, still the same codes. Took it to O'Reily's, seeing how they said they can read tranny codes. Their scanner said the same codes. They told me it should be the ESM and also the TCM, but the ESM should be changed first. The PDRN indicator shows all four boxes around the letters but when I tap the shifter to the right, the boxes go away. There are minor driving issues. So was wondering before I shell out money to the dealership to check it, has there been a find between the ESM or TCM to be the culprit?
The p0700 is a general code for faulty transmission. It can also be anything from a faulty shift solenoid to a TCM. But being that your still getting the u0404 could be a failing ESM. Let me know what they come up with brother.
Just completed this on my 07 3.7. If only id done the job last year when it first came about haha. Anyway its all back together and sems to be fine. Time will tell if thd code comes back and it gives me issues afain. I will update soon! It took me 2 hours to complete.
@MrV2u while I'm thinking about it do you remember there being an extra male end type plug that's unused to the left of where you unhook the esm? Maybe for another option on a higher trim package but I have been curious since seeing it today lol.
I recently took my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7l to the local Jeep dealership and had the diagnostics ran on it bc I've been having shifting issues (hard shifts, delay in gear shifts, not wanting to accelerate quickly when going up hill from a dead stop). They came back and told me that I needed a new prndl module and it would run me $1,300! (They didn't give me the codes) I found your video and am wondering if this would be a fix for that. I'm a 32 year old woman without much experience working on cars, but I'm a determined one and hope this is what I need to do! I should mention that my gears aren't all illuminated at once, although they have been before a long time ago. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
Ok I got you, the PRNDL is the same thing as the ESM. PRNDL is park, reverse, neutral, drive, and low. ESM is electronic shift module. I was having the same issues as you. When it acts up the Jeep goes into limp mode and makes the Jeep sluggish and not move. This is a easy fix, just follow the video. Another suggestion is to go to auto zone and have them pull the codes for you. They do it free of charge. Write them down before you disconnect the battery in the jeep. Once you disconnect the battery all the codes will be cleared. You may or may not have a check engine light on. Sometimes the codes are pending and won't set the check engine light on. Hope that helps.When you go to auto zone get a can of electric contact cleaner, I saw your question a couple days ago, I couldn't respond because the comment got deleted. Any questions, Im always around.
MrV2u thanks so much! I've watched your video several times now and am about to go try this out! I got the same cleaner that you used at Wal-Mart. I was thinking the prndl was the same as the esm but wasn't positive. Is it absolutely necessary to take the entire console out? Just want to cover all my bases before I start lol!
jennaraeford taking out the console is the only way to gain access to it. Believe me it looks scarier than it is. Just go slow and it will turn out fine. If needed take pictures for yourself if your not sure you can look back at them or this video. Good luck
MrV2u I disconnected the battery last night when I started to take things apart 🙈 I'll let you know how it goes!! Thanks so much for your help and video! You're awesome and very much appreciated!!
@@MrV2u your a saint, God Bless! Check engine light has been on for a while.I have been having poor mpg and a few times my gears didn't catch (happened on the highway twice 😥). Went to AutoZone and they pulled this code. They said it was a dealer code and told me to do some research. I searched the code and found your video. I have the tools to fix this and I'll let you know how it goes!
FateOfAll hey you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. It’s going to come out just fine. Watch the q-tips, it’s going to be dirty. Let me know if you have any questions I’m always around for advice/help. Peace brother...
WOW - hope this helps me out ... Mine just got a u0404 and p0700 code this morning , but also got a p0613 along with it. CEL went on and after a few stops on the way home requiring engine on/off, the CEL disappeared. Still have the codes though. Will give this a try next ! any idea if the p0613 could also be related to same dirty contacts ?? Thanks again for an extremely informative video - top notch !
That did it, all is good again! Happened pretty quick and was intermittent during the last couple of days. Codes were the P0700 and all the dash gear selector options would all show as selected intermittently and corresponded to the tranny acting up. Sometimes it would go back to normal just driving or sometimes I had to pull over and run the shift lever to park then to drive again. Codes also indicated the TCM/PCM is probably bad (nope) All it was is as you showed, bridging of conductive carbon on circuit board that the metal contacts slide on to tell the trans what gear you have selected with the shift lever. Used 91% iso rubbing alcohol (normally prefer 99% though and the normal 50% has been too weak in the past to clean very well). I also agree with the others, great video detail.
MrV2u my 06 Commander sometimes drops out of gear while driving. Once I pull over and try to put it in park it grinds and clicks. Other times when parked I'll start it and when I shift in to drive it won't engage. Both issues are resolved when I turn off the engine. Could these problems also be connected to the graphite build up or something else.
Do you have any check engine lights? It could be the graphite buildup and something else. A failing hub can give you the same issues. But you will get a check engine light. The hub assembly contains the abs sensor. If you have the codes let me know so I can further help you out.
Rena' Longino I’d recommend going to auto zone and have them check for codes. Not all codes set off the light. Some codes are called pending and won’t set the light off right away. From what you say I’m leaning more towards a abs sensor in one of the hubs. They check the codes for free.
My 08 GC pulls codes 0730, 0731, 0732. I have already put in $1,300 to replace the TCM and the problem still isn't fixed. My Jeep, like others, will jerk during acceleration, not go above 40mph and my gas mileage tanks. I also have to turn the car off and back on which seems to work most of the time. Could this be my ABS sensor? Any help is appreciated!!
Did they do a “Quick Learn” reprogram when they installed the TCM? This is a reflash of the computer. If they did try to clean the ESM like I did in the video. Let me know how you make out brother.
i have a 2006 jeep commander with the 3.7. abs...esp...and traction control lights are always on and it hesitates to shift. more than likely my brake light will come on and at that point it will not shift other than from park to drive reverse....just wont shift up and down going down the road. will this fix it?
I’m 80% sure you have a bad hub assembly. That’s where the wheels bolt to the Jeep. The hub assembly has a tone ring and abs sensor in it. Those symptoms point to a defective one. To be sure you need to scan for codes. It will point to the bad wheel. You can go to autozone or advance auto and have them scan your car for free. Let me know how you make out.
Would this cause a no crank issue on 08 wk? Shifter lights are all highlighted PRND ,and shifter is stuck in park,unless I manually release it. I have the crd and this problem also caused the glow plug indicator to not light up at all,and I don't hear the fuel pump. I've tried both original fob keys,and when cranking I only get one click at the starter relay , swapped relays and no dice! I did notice the red skis led continues to flash slow when keeping the key in the ignition.
It shouldn’t cause a no crank. Can you pull the codes? You can buy a cheap scanner at any auto store. Without that information it could be many different things. Let me know what you get.
@@MrV2u unfortunately my elm Bluetooth isn't communicating with the ecu when using the torque,and j scan app.i might have to tow it to the dealership,I'm thinking it's the pcm,or win module. I wish I was able to retrieve the codes but I'm not sure why it won't communicate. It's weird how the fuel pump,glow plugs ,and injectors aren't working,seems like a fail safe mode issue,
@@Unleaded93 sounds like a ecm like you said. Check all your fuses and relays as well. It can be something as stupid as that or a short in one of the wires in the main harness. Has the Jeep been parked for a long time? Did it have any other issues before this happened or was it like you just parked it and this happened?
@@MrV2u ya it was sitting for four days ,than I uninstalled 2 batteries that I use for my car audio,after that it wouldn't start. I than unhooked the engine battery and had it load tested, installed engine battery back in again after a good recharge and still has the same symptoms
Can a mobile locksmith determine if the original key signal was lost? Would their tech be able to tell if the pcm is communicating? I'm just thinking that getting a locksmith here to my home would be cheaper than a tow and dealer diagnosis
05 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 3.7 codes u0404 p0700 no other codes. I did this and drove around a few blocks the car was fine. I turned the car off to go into a store when I started it back up I'm getting a loud whining/ squealing sound on the passenger of the vehicle the sound is in all gears it stays the same in each gear. Doesn't get louder or lower ( It sounds like a bad serpentine belt or water pump) both brand new. Could it be a bad TCM or trans pump?? Thank you
Was it making noise before you tried cleaning the contacts? It can very well be a bad pump brother. A bad pump will give you shifting problems, noisy trans, slipping, etc… I wish we had dipsticks to check the condition of the fluid which could show; burnt or low levels.
I have a 2008 model. Otherwise same motor 3.7 Jeep grand Cherokee. Always seem like I had a little bit of a transmission slippage etc. and recently twice it seems like my transmission dropped after I was at a stop and tried to take off again. Basically bogging down and this morning it did it and I couldn't get my shifter to shift gears at all plus I could push my pedal all the way to the floorboard and I felt like I was maybe in first gear still not going faster than 30 miles an hour. Does this seem like the same scenario? I pulled over into a parking lot because were in the middle of a rainstorm currently and I didn't wanna get stuck in traffic. Parked and let the car sit when inside the store came out and it seem like it was fine or at least back to what it was before the issue this morning. Once again, it's a 2008 model were in 2019 now and I only have 88,000 miles and do regularly take it to be serviced with a buddy. But have not had anything for transmission fluid done yet I believe. Any insight I would appreciate it
You might have a failing hub bearing. Those symptoms point to that or bad abs sensor in one of the wheels. When you feel like the tranny is slipping and doesn’t want to move that’s the computer putting the Jeep into limp mode. If you have a scan tool check for abs codes. If not go to autozone and they will scan the Jeep for you for free. Hope that helps. Let me know how you make out brother.
You can try and do it without pulling the entire console but it might be a little harder. Someone in the comments below did it. Good luck let me know how you make out.
@@MrV2u I did it today. Check engine light went away and the circles around all letters disappeared👍 also smooth transition from 1st. And 2nd. Only issue I had. The T-10 bolt that holds together was already stripped. Used needle nose and lots of patience👍 I also pulled console. Looked harder then it was. So far, so good! Great video. Very helpful!!
See if you can pull the codes from it to make sure. A bad hub bearing can give you similar symptoms as well. Is the check engine light on? If it is bring it to auto zone or advance and have them pull the codes for you for free.
I am having issues with a 2006 Laredo stuck on neutral. It will shift to drive and it will engage on reverse if you press the handle firmly. Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
You might have a bad wheel bearing or abs sensor. Do you have a check engine light on? If so what are the codes. You can bring your Jeep to autozone or advanced auto and they will pull the codes for you for free.
Wow. That's crazy because last week while getting my tires put on, they informed me my abs sensor was bad on my front passenger wheel and they replaced it. You are on to something, but why would that specifically cause the vehicle not to shift properly? And how could this be fixed?
@@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340 if you have a bad wheel bearing or abs sensor it can cause the Jeep to go into limp mode. Which will not let it get up to speed. Do you have any check engine lights?
Thanks for the video man! I'll have to buy some tools and give this a try. my 06 jeep i bought a year ago has been stuck in limp mode so I bought a code scanner and it says P0700 and P0733. I got the vehicle cheap and im too broke at the moment to afford a new transmission if that's the problem, so i've been trying everything I can before I get it towed to a mechanic. It has always randomly shifted a little hard and has always had a slight burning smell after I shut the car off that only lasts a min, so I always assumed the transmission would go on me someday. Just wish it didn't have to be right before winter lol
Kristina Stroup Do you have a check engine light on? If so can you take it to advance auto or auto zone and have them scan it for you? I would need the codes to point you in the right direction. Many things can put the Jeep into limp mode.
Some possible causes: • Low transmission fluid level • Dirty transmission fluid • Shift solenoids • Transmission mechanical problems • Transmission hydraulic control circuit It wouldn’t hurt to do what I did in the video as it can be a electronic issue. How many miles do you have on it? Has the tranny ever been serviced? It can also be corrosion in a wire harness connection.
@@MrV2u 148000 no clue bought it for my daughter 2 years ago I guess that wouldn’t hurt .. I did ur trick didn’t do the job it’s shifting hard and out of sync at highway speeds
Hey awesome video help me out alot thanks but I have a question my tail lights don't stay on changed all the bubs and fuses and nothing everything works the signals work and the breaks work just not the taillights I was wondering if you know anything read online and Said it could be the circuit board any information helps
Does it come on at all? Does it come off and go off? If so how long does it take to go off? Do you have a check engine light on? We’ll get to the bottom of this. Thanks for the feedback as well.
Email me at MrV2u@hotmail.com I have a picture of the fuse/relay panel. It can be a parking light relay that’s going bad. You didn’t mention anything about changing relays. Relays when they go bad they pop and turn off then when they cool they can come back on. But let me know about the other questions I asked up top!
Did you replace the bulb recently? If not pull the tail light lens out and check the bulbs. One of the Filomena’s could be shorting out the system. Change both bulbs at the same time if you find one bad. Check the socket where the bulb goes in for corrosion. If so get a electrical cleaner. It’s a spray you might be able to save the socket by cleaning it. Next it can be a bad wire, that is way more involved to pin point. If it is a bad wire and when you pull out the tail light lens maybe it’s right there. Other than that and you’ll have to trace wires. It can also be the headlight switch in the dash that’s going bad. Do you have automatic lights that come in when it’s dark out? If so it can also be the ambient light sensor that’s faulty. Let me know if any of these helps you my sister.
Our 08 Santa fe doesn't go into park or drive. Last saturday, the shifter started getting hard to move. On that day, I was able to put it in drive, and i put in transmission fluid to make sure it was at a good fluid level. Then I got into the interstate and sped up to 80 mph and down to 0 without any problems. After that day, the shifter didn't let me put it in drive or park anymore. I'm going to try this and also clean the electrical connections with electrical contact cleaner to see if this fixes our issue.
AC Padilla make sure you don’t overfill the transmission. Get vehicle hot and check with engine running and in park. Your going to have to go under the truck and have someone with the engine off cycle the shifter while you watch the lever on the transmission move. Make sure it’s not binding. Not sure if your able to see it. It shouldn’t be hard to roll through the gates. It might be binding.
What I did on my jeep was a electrical issue. Yours sounds like a hardware issue. It might be completely different from my setup. Let me know how you make out. I’ll do some research for you if you get stuck.
5 Star Jeep Club thanks for the response. I was able to fix it and it's apparently a common Hyundai issue. The shifter shaft got stuck. I had to remove the shift cable and neutral safety switch, then sprayed wd40 and lube on it. I grabbed it with an 11 mm wrench and wiggled it until it started moving again. I kept moving it around with the wrench while spraying more liquid so it would seep more into the shaft. I then reassembled everything and my problem was resolved.
AC Padilla awesome. Like my pops always told me fix it yourself. Subscribe to my channel. Going to be branching out to different manufactures. Thanks for your response.
The ASD relay is used to connect the O2 sensors, the ignition coil, and the fuel injectors to 12 volts. The wires to one of these may have a short circuit, or the relay itself is possibly faulty.
You will have to isolate the circuit that is shorted to ground to correct the problem. Pull Fuse 12 out and use an ohm meter to measure resistance from the output side of the fuse to a body ground. If there is a problem, it will read something less than 1000 ohms I'd assume. When the problems fixed, it will read infinite resistance (open circuit). Remove the positive cable from the battery. While the ohm meter is hooked up, pull the fuel pump relay. If that doesn't fix it, remove the ASD relay. If that doesn't fix it, remove the C1 connector from the PCM. If that doesn't fix it, remove the connector from the TCM. If that doesn't fix it, you have a wire in the harness that is chaffed and touching the body somewhere or another wire that is grounded.
Have you had any work done on it recently? Look over the wire harness good for wires that shorted out. (Rubber sheath worn away exposing wire to the body). Let me know how you make out brother.
I’d start with the ASD relay first. You can buy the same relay at any auto store. It’s either a 4 or 5 prong. Just swap it out change the fuse and see what happens.
Ashlee Mcalister I would definitely try what I did in this video first. Let me know if you have any other questions or get stuck on anything. Good luck Ashlee, let me know how you make out too.
Hey brother, your going to have to crawl under the Jeep to where the transmission linkage is located and have some one shift it into park, reverse and drive with the car off and see if the linkage moves back and forth. Let me know what you find.
I have been going in to limp mode while driving and I notice it on high rpms and I try to manually shift using the + - on the shifter and nothing works. I pull over and restart the vehicle and all is well till it does it again. I cleaned this board and yes it was very dirty on the break points. Now it hasnt done it at all and it even shifts better. Thank you I was about to replace the transmission and honestly it would have done the same thing!!!!
@elmslawncare awesome brother glad to have helped. Save that hard earned money brother. Thanks for the feedback.
@@MrV2uDear MrV2u, Thank you for sharing this video it is really a stress reliever for some. I have another kind of problem with my ESM, it works properly in All PRND but, when I put it on Drive, I can't shift to - +, is there a way of adjusting this issue? (I am able to move the "handle" left right but cant go from D to 4321...)
I opened the upper part as you showed in the vid, There are two thin metallic pieces surrounding the black plastic square that is attached to the white horizontal one (shifter)... Should these be the problem? Could they be cleaned or adjusted? Many thanks😊😊
When you put it into manual shift all you do is hit the lever up to upshift and down to downshift. Is that not working?
@@MrV2u not for me, it is not working. ☹️ Could it be a board problem?
@@MrV2u To be honest, this problem appeared right after the "cover band" broke (the thing that covers against dust), so I had to open and remove it... and then this problem appeared (any relation to this manoeuvre?)
Best instructional video yet. You get to the point quick fast in a hurry no endless talking about nothing. Thank you
Thanks for the awesome feedback brother. I try to be straight up and no fillers in any of my videos. Hope it helped you.
I've been a transmission tech for 21 years. You did a fantastic job on this video my friend! helped my stress level tons! Thanks, take care and God bless!
Thanks brother for the feedback. I try to be as thorough as possible. Bless you as well. If you have any further questions I’m always here to help my friend.
Update: The small two wire connector at the right rear of the shifter was broken. The big connector was fine. The board was new so someone had their hands in it before me. Made sure it was back together correctly and it worked perfect. Customer was happy.... Thanks again!
Too many cooks in the kitchen. Good catch my friend. Tracing electrical problems could be quick or an all day deal. I just had a guy with the same issue and swapped out the esm twice, and cleaned each one twice like I showed. Still having issues. I bet that’s his issue as well. Keep in touch brother.
@@MrV2u @ hello, i have the exact problem, but my first question : why need to disconnect the battery ? can i not to ?
@@xuchun5371 you don’t want to short anything out by not doing so.
Had mine replaced to my 2007 jeep three years ago cost me $1400 having the same problem found your video took it apart myself cost me nothing but the can of cleaner. Thank you.
You got it brother, yeah there are times you need to replace the esm it if always start with cleaning it first. Keep on Jeeping.
Three years later and you're still helping people! Just wanted to say thank you for the detailed video. I had the same issues and was happy to find out that it was a rather simple fix.
Thanks again.
Your very welcome brother. I try my best to help out as much as I can. Glad it worked out good for you brother. If you should ever need any more advice I’m always around.
Hello , I have 2006 Jeep , my dash lights were all flashing having no problems with shifting . Plugged the code reader in # u0404 Gear shift control module . Can I do this to my Jeep ? I’m not sure what to do
You defiantly can do it for your Jeep.
You sir, rock. I've a 06 Commander. The exact same shift module and interior shown on your video. Had the exact same codes and lights come on that you shown when I drove in to Buffalo from Jamestown NY a few weeks ago. Since I pretty much just bought the Jeep used, thoughts of "Crap, what did I get myself into??" flew through my head. Did research, found your channel. Spent yesterday doing exactly, step by step following along in your video. Worked perfectly. Thank you again for being such a valued resource and doing them is such a clear, concise and no "techno-jargon" that the average layman can follow. :)
Everything is the exact same on the commander as the Grand. The dreaded first drive lol. I'm glad I could help a fellow Jeeper out. Thanks for the feedback it means the world to me. If you should ever run into anything I'm always around for help.
I couldn't have said it any better!!!
My Jeep is having this same situation and no one, neither the dealer had been able to tell me what it was. All they said was that it was an issue with something related to vapor emitions, that my car would not pass the regular revision due to contamination issues. May the Lord bless you and multiply your business, for all the help that you have delivered to so many people, including me. Thank you so much.
Ricardo Cajina does it have a check engine light on or do you know the codes it has? If the lights around the indicator are all on like mine this should fix it no problem. Let me know I’ll dig into it more and try to help you. Thanks so much for your blessings. All things possible with Him at our side.
Hello again MrV2u, I do not know the codes, but the mechanic checked in on and said two things: The EGR valve is giving slight problems, it is recommended to replace it. And the error that it shows is related to transmission gear, but on the scanner it reads something like unspecific error, so there is no code. He said he had to check if there was a situation with the gear or the solenoid. But on the EGR subject, I found this Omix-Ada 17712.05 EGR Valve that indicates to fit my vehicle. Can you tell me if I should buy this instead of a Mopar EGR valve which Price is twice the Omix-Ada one.?
The omix-ada 17712.05 is for a 05-06 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7 motor. If that’s what you got go for it brother. I’ve seen codes set off random codes and once you fix one problem the rest clear. Let me know how it works out brother.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so very much for making this video! 5 Years later you still helping people fix their Jeeps. 🥰
Glad to help my friend. Let me know how you make out.
Gave my kid an 06 Cherokee for Christmas and having exactly this problem on Dec 28th. Headed out to pull apart the shifter. THANK YOU!!!!
Your very welcome brother. If you run into anything hit me up I’m around for advice. Let me know how you make out.
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before, but had to in order to thank you for posting this video. I recently bought a 2005 Jeep Cherokee Laredo and these same error messages kept happening. I showed this video to the mechanic that I bought the Jeep from, he cleaned the graphite off, and I haven’t had any issues since then. He didn’t even charge me for the fix. So thank you so much for this video, as it popped right up when I searched for the issue I was having.
That’s awesome brother. Thanks for the feedback. And if you have any questions in the future I’m around for advice.
What kind of problems were you having ? My dash lights were flashing having no problems of shifting, I plugged my code reader in and it’s saying # u0404 Gear control module. I don’t know what to do . It still drives fine dash lights are gone .
It can drive ok for now but eventually you’ll have shifting issues and might go into limp mode. Try to clean it and prevent other issues down the road brother.
You saved me countless dollars and headaches at the dealership! Thank you and keep up the great work!!!!
Not a problem brother, this is why I make videos. Save that hard earned money. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks man. Jeep wouldn't shift on the highway on my way home form work. Followed this and fixed it. Your the best and your videos always appear when I need help. I hope the views and subs are helping take care of you and make making the videos worth it cause it's saving me time and money
I’m glad the video helped brother. That’s why I post all my videos, helping people save their hard earned money. Thanks for the feedback.
I had this problem recently. Cherokee was stuck in 3rd gear and check engine light came on. Took apart the gear shift and the control board was fairly dirty. I didn’t have any electronic cleaner, so I used some mass airflow sensor cleaner instead. I figured they’re the same. Put it all back together, Jeep ran normal and the check engine light turned off the next day. Getting to the control board, I had to use smaller hex/star whatever screwdriver. But the process was all the same really. I wonder if because my Cherokee is the special 65 year edition, that maybe the hardware was a little different than yours. Anyways, I’m writing to tell you how grateful I am you posted this. I bought my Cherokee in December of 08 and had her for almost 15 years now. My wife wants a newer vehicle, but seeing how the price of everything these days is so ridiculous, I’d rather fix our cars up than put up with dealerships and the quick depreciation of newer cars. Thanks again man, these kinds of how to videos are lifesavers
I had a 65th anniversary too brother. I agree with you 100 percent with keeping your current car up and running as long as possible. Interest rates let alone new car prices are astronomical. I make my videos to help people save their hard earned money. Thanks for the feedback brother. Keep on Jeeping.
I’m currently in my bed smiling because I own a 05 Cherokee and I’ve been experiencing this issue going on a week now. For the first time something makes sense! Can’t wait to get up tomorrow morning to knock this out, will let you know how it goes.
You got it brother. Go get it done. If you run into any issues hit me up I’m around for advice.
Awesome video, and let me just add that this is also the same thing I do on my 06 JEEP SRT8, I just don’t have to remove the whole centre console, I just remove the shifter, turns out it’s an actual Mercedes part that’s no longer available anyway,
I have done that exact procedure about 10 times so far over the past 15 years, as the car simply just stops going into manual shift and only has auto,
I remove the shifter, clean the board, put it back, clear the code, and then you MUST drive the car for a while before the transmission resets and the manual shifting comes back, I haven’t been able to put a mileage on when it works again, but I know within a few days of driving it SHOULD work, other wise I have to clean it again as i would have not cleaned it right corner anyway, thanks for this great video, just remember, you can remove the screws of the shifter and disconnect the 2 wires and it would come off without removing the whole console.
Make sure you don’t forget to alight the pins on the board with the plug on the fixed connector plug or it won’t supply power to the shifter.

Hey man quick question what was it doing dor you to have to do this ours is ahifting to like 3rd and it quits shifting shut if off start it back up and its dine until it does it again any info would help
It was acting a fool. Lol this issue would cause anything from: hard shifts, holding gears longer than normal, putting the Jeep into limp mode, illuminating all the shift indicators on the dash, check engine light, feels like the Jeep is bucking, etc etc. Its not a bad job to do, and will save you money in the long run. Let me know if that helps or how you make out brother.

dsa hdsn I’m glad I could help out brother. Thanks for the update. Always trying to save people money.
Awesome, here is my tip on top,
The car will still drive in auto but not in semi manual mode ,
I have to literally do this with my 06 Jeep SRT8 every 8-12 months, cause that’s a Mercedes part that’s not easy to come by at a cost of $800,
You DON’T need to dismantle the entire console, just remove the shifter module, and disconnect the cable, document how you take it apart with photos first time you take it out if you’re unsure,
The idea is to clean out the board, so cotton tips, buds and electronics cleaner, rub any graphite you see parallel to the board and make sure you do it many times over and over till it doesn’t show any dirt on the cotton.
You’ll have to be gentle with the clips the most as you take it apart, clean out the housing and the underneath area while you’re at it,
What I found is that in most cases it will take about a 1 to 3 days of driving for it to work again after you clear the codes or just put it back together,
some days it worked right away and other times it took a few days.
Just be patient and don’t rush it, this is not something you want to break, scratch or damage by any means.
If it doesn’t work after a few days of driving, repeat the process and it will eventually work, it just means it needs more cleaning.
You don’t have cleaning solution, use alcohol wipes, but not direct alcohol LOL
One of the best videos ever watch great help....bada boom bada bing!!!!!
Thanks my brother. I try to be as thorough as possible. Hey if you or someone else ever needs help you can say you got a guy. I’m always around for advice.
Thank you..... I have three different lights on..... traction control,ESP BAS... And the code came up...lost connection to shift module .... Hopefully this will fix it.....
It should solve all your issues brother, let me know if it doesn’t or if you have any further questions.
You think the ESM would be the issue for a 07 grand cherokee 4.7 stuck in park even if it's not throwing any codes for it? Professional computer didn't find anything for it... First issue I noticed was when I put it in park and shut the car off the wheel wouldn't lock, I could turn it all the way around. Then I would have issues getting the key to turn over had to jiggle it for a while. Finally one day when the key wouldn't turn over I pulled the shifter into neutral to try to get the key to turn, it didn't so I put it back in park. Finally got the key to turn and that's when it was stuck in park, been like that since.
Dylan Webb awhile back there was a recall for the ignition switch. Has that been done to your Jeep? Seems to me like a ignition switch issue. If you have heavy keys on your key ring that could throw it off. That’s what the dealer says lol. Let me know if you had the recall done.

Thanks for this video. Just wondering if you just clean the spaces between the tracks or everything including the tracks?
I did it all. But you can just do the spots in between. I feel like doing it all prolongs the time you’ll have to do it again.
05 Jeep Grand Cherokee, stuck in 1st gear, and also when I turn off and turn back on and try to drive it says the e brake is on. Throwing the code you showed of the p700 keeps been acting funny for a while throws the shifts hard or stays stuck or goes slow etc hopefully this will fix.
It should help you out. You might have a secondary problem with the e brake. Start with this fix. And let me know how you make out.
Great video.. I did the same.. but, the shifter was shifting 1-5.. Had to replace the whole shifter assembly.. Thank you for the video though.. Helped a lot.
Joseph Kohler Jr. sometimes they do go bad brother. Always cheaper to try and clean it first. Glad it all worked out overall. Thanks for the feedback.
My jeep shifts and gives me no problems at all...But I do get that code when I connect the scanner. Should I do the same procedure anyway?
It wouldn’t hurt cleaning out the contacts. It could be an intermittent problem.
This worked for me, I used a pencil eraser to good effect cleaning the spaces between the contract surfaces. It worked seriously well. Clean the eraser residue afterwards so I'd doesn't collect the graphite as fast.
Jason Elsey lol that’s how I used to clean my race tracks way back in the days. Awesome brother.
Is there anything we can put between the cleaned contact points to help prevent that graphite for forming again ???
No brother it has to make that contact. The graphite makes it possible to slide across the contacts, but when it builds up and makes that solid connection it messes things up.
Thank you for this video. It is not only helpful but simple to follow as well. Just a quick question though. Will this work on a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi that has the 5 speed gear box or is it just for the 3.7? Great video brother. Just had to say that again.
Thanks Greg means a lot to know I’m helping out. It will work in your Jeep as well. Let Mel. Is how you make out or if you have any other questions. Good luck my friend.
Boom Bada Bing ! Thanks for the video. I have to try this because my 08 Cherokee is having shifting problems.
Michael Joseph absolutely brother. Let me know if you have questions or how it turns out. Subscribe brother.
Just have to say THANK YOU so very much so helpful in many ways 😊😊👍👍👍👍
You got it brother. Glad to help
Ty bro, love the accent by the way. "You're breaking my bowls Paulie"
Brett Dwigans lmao I never heard that before lol.
I wondered Paulie ?? Then it hit me ---GOOD ONE , He surely does sound like the Mafia Boss !!!!
@@MrV2u if I had a legit accent like that I'd for sure cultivate a mob nickname for myself
@@brettdwigans2758 lmao I gotta come up with one soon.
Yo this vid just saved me sum 💲💲💲.. Much love
You got it brother. Let me know if I’m the future you have any issues.
My 06 shows (1) highlighted all the time and won’t turn over by the key and wen I make it run jumping the relay the gear id on the cluster stays on (1) gear. I’ve ordered a replacement shifter assembly being mine is cracked anyway. Hope thus is my issue as well.
Do you have a check engine light on? If so, what are the codes?
@@MrV2u no CEl and I’ll check the codes shortly wen I get home.
@@Formerlywarmer does it crank? Is it a strong crank?
@@MrV2u wen I try the key it triggers started and fuel pump relay but no start. If I hold the key in start position and trigger the relay it stats fine and runs well 5.7 Jeep.
The 1 gear shows selected on the cluster no matter where the shifter is like it’s in manual shift mode and stuck in 1. I assumed that’s why it won’t start with the key …Neutral safety switch
@@Formerlywarmer did u replace the relay? Did you try and start it in neutral?
Thank you so much for the video bro. Saved myself a headache as I'm a Mobile Mechanic and came across this issue. The only problem I have is, the Jeep won't start correctly. It starts when I hit the gas but has Hella trouble staying on, and dies when I let go of the gas pedal. There are NO codes but the UO404. That's it. Any suggestions? Was your engine messing up like I described?
Mine wasn’t doing that. Have you tried to clean the IAC and throttle body? Use throttle body cleaner not carb cleaner. It can also be a throttle position sensor. Try cleaning first and let me know how you make out.
My 06 Grand Cherokee has been pulling the codes P0700 and U0404. I did everything in the video and the light stayed on. I turned it off with my code reader and it stayed off for a few ignition cycles. When the light came back on, still the same codes. Took it to O'Reily's, seeing how they said they can read tranny codes. Their scanner said the same codes. They told me it should be the ESM and also the TCM, but the ESM should be changed first. The PDRN indicator shows all four boxes around the letters but when I tap the shifter to the right, the boxes go away. There are minor driving issues. So was wondering before I shell out money to the dealership to check it, has there been a find between the ESM or TCM to be the culprit?
The p0700 is a general code for faulty transmission. It can also be anything from a faulty shift solenoid to a TCM. But being that your still getting the u0404 could be a failing ESM. Let me know what they come up with brother.
Just completed this on my 07 3.7. If only id done the job last year when it first came about haha. Anyway its all back together and sems to be fine. Time will tell if thd code comes back and it gives me issues afain. I will update soon! It took me 2 hours to complete.
Thanks for the update my friend.
@MrV2u thanks for the killer video that gave all of us the knowledge to easily solve an otherwise expensive repair! Can't beat a free fix!
@MrV2u while I'm thinking about it do you remember there being an extra male end type plug that's unused to the left of where you unhook the esm? Maybe for another option on a higher trim package but I have been curious since seeing it today lol.
@@MarkBlack-e5z maybe for the different transfer cases. I know they have two different versions for the Jeep.
I recently took my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.7l to the local Jeep dealership and had the diagnostics ran on it bc I've been having shifting issues (hard shifts, delay in gear shifts, not wanting to accelerate quickly when going up hill from a dead stop). They came back and told me that I needed a new prndl module and it would run me $1,300! (They didn't give me the codes) I found your video and am wondering if this would be a fix for that. I'm a 32 year old woman without much experience working on cars, but I'm a determined one and hope this is what I need to do! I should mention that my gears aren't all illuminated at once, although they have been before a long time ago. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
Ok I got you, the PRNDL is the same thing as the ESM. PRNDL is park, reverse, neutral, drive, and low. ESM is electronic shift module. I was having the same issues as you. When it acts up the Jeep goes into limp mode and makes the Jeep sluggish and not move. This is a easy fix, just follow the video. Another suggestion is to go to auto zone and have them pull the codes for you. They do it free of charge. Write them down before you disconnect the battery in the jeep. Once you disconnect the battery all the codes will be cleared. You may or may not have a check engine light on. Sometimes the codes are pending and won't set the check engine light on. Hope that helps.When you go to auto zone get a can of electric contact cleaner, I saw your question a couple days ago, I couldn't respond because the comment got deleted. Any questions, Im always around.
MrV2u thanks so much! I've watched your video several times now and am about to go try this out! I got the same cleaner that you used at Wal-Mart. I was thinking the prndl was the same as the esm but wasn't positive. Is it absolutely necessary to take the entire console out? Just want to cover all my bases before I start lol!
jennaraeford taking out the console is the only way to gain access to it. Believe me it looks scarier than it is. Just go slow and it will turn out fine. If needed take pictures for yourself if your not sure you can look back at them or this video. Good luck
jennaraeford one more thing did you go to auto zone and have them check for codes before you disconnect the battery? If not no biggie.
MrV2u I disconnected the battery last night when I started to take things apart 🙈 I'll let you know how it goes!! Thanks so much for your help and video! You're awesome and very much appreciated!!
Worked like a champ! Bada Bing!
T- ilex awesome glad I could help. Any other issues I’m always here to help and offer advice. Thanks for the love.

FateOfAll boom bada bing bang... yes sir I’m glad I could help my friend.
@@MrV2u your a saint, God Bless!
Check engine light has been on for a while.I have been having poor mpg and a few times my gears didn't catch (happened on the highway twice 😥). Went to AutoZone and they pulled this code. They said it was a dealer code and told me to do some research. I searched the code and found your video.
I have the tools to fix this and I'll let you know how it goes!
FateOfAll hey you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. It’s going to come out just fine. Watch the q-tips, it’s going to be dirty. Let me know if you have any questions I’m always around for advice/help. Peace brother...
WOW - hope this helps me out ... Mine just got a u0404 and p0700 code this morning , but also got a p0613 along with it. CEL went on and after a few stops on the way home requiring engine on/off, the CEL disappeared. Still have the codes though. Will give this a try next ! any idea if the p0613 could also be related to same dirty contacts ?? Thanks again for an extremely informative video - top notch !
Glad to help brother. It can all be related. I’m sure cleaning the contact will help set you up brother, if not let me know.
@@MrV2u will let you know :) ! THX!
Thanks man very descriptive and nice craftsmanship 👍
Thanks for the feedback my friend, glad to help.
2007 Jeep Commander V6 engine This fix works for me also Thanks for the Video
Don Lewallen yes sir. Everything is the same on both our jeeps. Glad I helped out. Any questions I’m around for advice.
That did it, all is good again! Happened pretty quick and was intermittent during the last couple of days. Codes were the P0700 and all the dash gear selector options would all show as selected intermittently and corresponded to the tranny acting up. Sometimes it would go back to normal just driving or sometimes I had to pull over and run the shift lever to park then to drive again. Codes also indicated the TCM/PCM is probably bad (nope) All it was is as you showed, bridging of conductive carbon on circuit board that the metal contacts slide on to tell the trans what gear you have selected with the shift lever. Used 91% iso rubbing alcohol (normally prefer 99% though and the normal 50% has been too weak in the past to clean very well). I also agree with the others, great video detail.
Amazing brother. Thanks for the feedback. Glad it all worked out for you.
Thanks! Did it, you saved me a lot of money.
Glad I could help. Means a lot hearing it.
If you look up the p0404 for a Jeep’s it’s the egr valve
That’s correct
MrV2u my 06 Commander sometimes drops out of gear while driving. Once I pull over and try to put it in park it grinds and clicks. Other times when parked I'll start it and when I shift in to drive it won't engage. Both issues are resolved when I turn off the engine. Could these problems also be connected to the graphite build up or something else.
Do you have any check engine lights? It could be the graphite buildup and something else. A failing hub can give you the same issues. But you will get a check engine light. The hub assembly contains the abs sensor. If you have the codes let me know so I can further help you out.
Occasionally (not every time it happens) all the sensor lights come on. Recently though when I have these issues no sensor light comes on.
Rena' Longino I’d recommend going to auto zone and have them check for codes. Not all codes set off the light. Some codes are called pending and won’t set the light off right away. From what you say I’m leaning more towards a abs sensor in one of the hubs. They check the codes for free.
Thanks MrV2u. I really appreciate you!!!
Your the bomb man. Fixed mines cause of you
Maxwell Mazalan I’m glad my brother. If you ever have questions hit me up, I’m around to help.
My 08 GC pulls codes 0730, 0731, 0732. I have already put in $1,300 to replace the TCM and the problem still isn't fixed. My Jeep, like others, will jerk during acceleration, not go above 40mph and my gas mileage tanks. I also have to turn the car off and back on which seems to work most of the time. Could this be my ABS sensor? Any help is appreciated!!
Did they do a “Quick Learn” reprogram when they installed the TCM? This is a reflash of the computer. If they did try to clean the ESM like I did in the video. Let me know how you make out brother.
great job .....will be doing shifter soon ,will let u know if it blows up or not
gary krieg no question about it, it’s not going to blow up lmao. When your done your Jeep will return to boss status.
i have a 2006 jeep commander with the 3.7. abs...esp...and traction control lights are always on and it hesitates to shift. more than likely my brake light will come on and at that point it will not shift other than from park to drive reverse....just wont shift up and down going down the road. will this fix it?
I’m 80% sure you have a bad hub assembly. That’s where the wheels bolt to the Jeep. The hub assembly has a tone ring and abs sensor in it. Those symptoms point to a defective one. To be sure you need to scan for codes. It will point to the bad wheel. You can go to autozone or advance auto and have them scan your car for free. Let me know how you make out.
Would this cause a no crank issue on 08 wk? Shifter lights are all highlighted PRND ,and shifter is stuck in park,unless I manually release it. I have the crd and this problem also caused the glow plug indicator to not light up at all,and I don't hear the fuel pump. I've tried both original fob keys,and when cranking I only get one click at the starter relay , swapped relays and no dice! I did notice the red skis led continues to flash slow when keeping the key in the ignition.
It shouldn’t cause a no crank. Can you pull the codes? You can buy a cheap scanner at any auto store. Without that information it could be many different things. Let me know what you get.
@@MrV2u unfortunately my elm Bluetooth isn't communicating with the ecu when using the torque,and j scan app.i might have to tow it to the dealership,I'm thinking it's the pcm,or win module. I wish I was able to retrieve the codes but I'm not sure why it won't communicate. It's weird how the fuel pump,glow plugs ,and injectors aren't working,seems like a fail safe mode issue,
@@Unleaded93 sounds like a ecm like you said. Check all your fuses and relays as well. It can be something as stupid as that or a short in one of the wires in the main harness. Has the Jeep been parked for a long time? Did it have any other issues before this happened or was it like you just parked it and this happened?
@@MrV2u ya it was sitting for four days ,than I uninstalled 2 batteries that I use for my car audio,after that it wouldn't start. I than unhooked the engine battery and had it load tested, installed engine battery back in again after a good recharge and still has the same symptoms
Can a mobile locksmith determine if the original key signal was lost? Would their tech be able to tell if the pcm is communicating? I'm just thinking that getting a locksmith here to my home would be cheaper than a tow and dealer diagnosis
05 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 3.7 codes u0404 p0700 no other codes. I did this and drove around a few blocks the car was fine. I turned the car off to go into a store when I started it back up I'm getting a loud whining/ squealing sound on the passenger of the vehicle the sound is in all gears it stays the same in each gear. Doesn't get louder or lower ( It sounds like a bad serpentine belt or water pump) both brand new. Could it be a bad TCM or trans pump?? Thank you
Was it making noise before you tried cleaning the contacts? It can very well be a bad pump brother. A bad pump will give you shifting problems, noisy trans, slipping, etc… I wish we had dipsticks to check the condition of the fluid which could show; burnt or low levels.
I have a 2008 model. Otherwise same motor 3.7 Jeep grand Cherokee. Always seem like I had a little bit of a transmission slippage etc. and recently twice it seems like my transmission dropped after I was at a stop and tried to take off again. Basically bogging down and this morning it did it and I couldn't get my shifter to shift gears at all plus I could push my pedal all the way to the floorboard and I felt like I was maybe in first gear still not going faster than 30 miles an hour. Does this seem like the same scenario? I pulled over into a parking lot because were in the middle of a rainstorm currently and I didn't wanna get stuck in traffic. Parked and let the car sit when inside the store came out and it seem like it was fine or at least back to what it was before the issue this morning. Once again, it's a 2008 model were in 2019 now and I only have 88,000 miles and do regularly take it to be serviced with a buddy. But have not had anything for transmission fluid done yet I believe. Any insight I would appreciate it
Sidenote, my ABS braking and also my airbag lights have popped up on the dash.
You might have a failing hub bearing. Those symptoms point to that or bad abs sensor in one of the wheels. When you feel like the tranny is slipping and doesn’t want to move that’s the computer putting the Jeep into limp mode. If you have a scan tool check for abs codes. If not go to autozone and they will scan the Jeep for you for free. Hope that helps. Let me know how you make out brother.
Can you do this without removing whole console? Is it the harness that holds it up?
You can try and do it without pulling the entire console but it might be a little harder. Someone in the comments below did it. Good luck let me know how you make out.
@@MrV2u I did it today. Check engine light went away and the circles around all letters disappeared👍 also smooth transition from 1st. And 2nd. Only issue I had. The T-10 bolt that holds together was already stripped. Used needle nose and lots of patience👍 I also pulled console. Looked harder then it was. So far, so good! Great video. Very helpful!!
Jeff Gwilliam awesome brother. Glad it all worked out good for you. Just a little patience and it all works out in the end. Thanks for the feedback.
Showing it from beginning to end excellent
Vinny Bottitta glad I could help brother. Any questions hit me up.
Very nicely done. Outstanding video.
D0n T-rump thanks brother. Glad to help.
When this happened to you, Was your Jeep driving slow and not going pass 40 miles a hour?
Yes, it goes into limp mode. Same symptoms. If you have any more questions I’m always around for advice.
MrV2u ok I’m trying to buy one that has similar problems but I’m not too sure if it’s the same problem
See if you can pull the codes from it to make sure. A bad hub bearing can give you similar symptoms as well. Is the check engine light on? If it is bring it to auto zone or advance and have them pull the codes for you for free.
MrV2u ok I see let me see if I’m able to get it first because now they lady who is selling it to me says she raised the price to 1000 dollars more now
Did she see my video lol? Good luck brother. If she’s playing games walk away. Don’t feel rushed into buying.
You are a good teacher!
Thank brother. Let me know how you make out!
I did all that and my jeep is still stuck in 3rd gear, any other advice will help, hope you can see my comment soon thank you in advice
Do you have any codes? How many miles on the transmission? Has it ever been serviced?
thank you! this worked on my 2006 commander to!!
Your very welcome brother. The commander and grand Cherokee are identical in every way except body. I’m glad it all worked out for you.
I am having issues with a 2006 Laredo stuck on neutral. It will shift to drive and it will engage on reverse if you press the handle firmly. Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
Did you try cleaning the contacts like I did in the video? Do you have a check engine light on? If so do you know the codes?
There is no check engine light. Could it be the actual mechanism? I will try your method I'm the meantime and will follow up with you.
You're the real MVP!
Thanks brother. And I’m always around for advice.
Mine is doing something weird. The red brake light comes on and then it wont shift up into 4th or 5th gear. Any suggestions
You might have a bad wheel bearing or abs sensor. Do you have a check engine light on? If so what are the codes. You can bring your Jeep to autozone or advanced auto and they will pull the codes for you for free.
Wow. That's crazy because last week while getting my tires put on, they informed me my abs sensor was bad on my front passenger wheel and they replaced it. You are on to something, but why would that specifically cause the vehicle not to shift properly? And how could this be fixed?
@@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340 if you have a bad wheel bearing or abs sensor it can cause the Jeep to go into limp mode. Which will not let it get up to speed. Do you have any check engine lights?
My 06 WK will not manually down shift while in drive,will cleaning the ESM solve this as well or different issues?
It might solve your issues. It doesn’t hurt to clean the contacts. Do you have any codes.
Thanks for the video man! I'll have to buy some tools and give this a try. my 06 jeep i bought a year ago has been stuck in limp mode so I bought a code scanner and it says P0700 and P0733. I got the vehicle cheap and im too broke at the moment to afford a new transmission if that's the problem, so i've been trying everything I can before I get it towed to a mechanic. It has always randomly shifted a little hard and has always had a slight burning smell after I shut the car off that only lasts a min, so I always assumed the transmission would go on me someday. Just wish it didn't have to be right before winter lol
I’m having this problem now!!! 06 GC stuck in limp mode. Any updates on yours??? Any advice!?
Kristina Stroup Do you have a check engine light on? If so can you take it to advance auto or auto zone and have them scan it for you? I would need the codes to point you in the right direction. Many things can put the Jeep into limp mode.
Any clue if this works for a P0730 code ?
Some possible causes:
• Low transmission fluid level
• Dirty transmission fluid
• Shift solenoids
• Transmission mechanical problems
• Transmission hydraulic control circuit
It wouldn’t hurt to do what I did in the video as it can be a electronic issue. How many miles do you have on it? Has the tranny ever been serviced? It can also be corrosion in a wire harness connection.
@@MrV2u 148000 no clue bought it for my daughter 2 years ago I guess that wouldn’t hurt .. I did ur trick didn’t do the job it’s shifting hard and out of sync at highway speeds
Hey awesome video help me out alot thanks but I have a question my tail lights don't stay on changed all the bubs and fuses and nothing everything works the signals work and the breaks work just not the taillights I was wondering if you know anything read online and Said it could be the circuit board any information helps
Does it come on at all? Does it come off and go off? If so how long does it take to go off? Do you have a check engine light on? We’ll get to the bottom of this. Thanks for the feedback as well.
Email me at MrV2u@hotmail.com I have a picture of the fuse/relay panel. It can be a parking light relay that’s going bad. You didn’t mention anything about changing relays. Relays when they go bad they pop and turn off then when they cool they can come back on. But let me know about the other questions I asked up top!
Did you replace the bulb recently? If not pull the tail light lens out and check the bulbs. One of the Filomena’s could be shorting out the system. Change both bulbs at the same time if you find one bad. Check the socket where the bulb goes in for corrosion. If so get a electrical cleaner. It’s a spray you might be able to save the socket by cleaning it. Next it can be a bad wire, that is way more involved to pin point. If it is a bad wire and when you pull out the tail light lens maybe it’s right there. Other than that and you’ll have to trace wires. It can also be the headlight switch in the dash that’s going bad. Do you have automatic lights that come in when it’s dark out? If so it can also be the ambient light sensor that’s faulty. Let me know if any of these helps you my sister.
Our 08 Santa fe doesn't go into park or drive. Last saturday, the shifter started getting hard to move. On that day, I was able to put it in drive, and i put in transmission fluid to make sure it was at a good fluid level. Then I got into the interstate and sped up to 80 mph and down to 0 without any problems. After that day, the shifter didn't let me put it in drive or park anymore.
I'm going to try this and also clean the electrical connections with electrical contact cleaner to see if this fixes our issue.
AC Padilla make sure you don’t overfill the transmission. Get vehicle hot and check with engine running and in park. Your going to have to go under the truck and have someone with the engine off cycle the shifter while you watch the lever on the transmission move. Make sure it’s not binding. Not sure if your able to see it. It shouldn’t be hard to roll through the gates. It might be binding.
What I did on my jeep was a electrical issue. Yours sounds like a hardware issue. It might be completely different from my setup. Let me know how you make out. I’ll do some research for you if you get stuck.
5 Star Jeep Club thanks for the response. I was able to fix it and it's apparently a common Hyundai issue. The shifter shaft got stuck. I had to remove the shift cable and neutral safety switch, then sprayed wd40 and lube on it. I grabbed it with an 11 mm wrench and wiggled it until it started moving again. I kept moving it around with the wrench while spraying more liquid so it would seep more into the shaft. I then reassembled everything and my problem was resolved.
AC Padilla awesome. Like my pops always told me fix it yourself. Subscribe to my channel. Going to be branching out to different manufactures. Thanks for your response.
Uno de los mejores videos que está bien explicado excelente trabajo 5stars
Muchas gracias, hermano. Me alegro de haber podido ayudarte.
My Jeep Cherokee 05 diesel 2.8 cranks but won't start also blowing asd feed fuse getting no fuel
The ASD relay is used to connect the O2 sensors, the ignition coil, and the fuel injectors to 12 volts. The wires to one of these may have a short circuit, or the relay itself is possibly faulty.
You will have to isolate the circuit that is shorted to ground to correct the problem. Pull Fuse 12 out and use an ohm meter to measure resistance from the output side of the fuse to a body ground. If there is a problem, it will read something less than 1000 ohms I'd assume. When the problems fixed, it will read infinite resistance (open circuit). Remove the positive cable from the battery. While the ohm meter is hooked up, pull the fuel pump relay. If that doesn't fix it, remove the ASD relay. If that doesn't fix it, remove the C1 connector from the PCM. If that doesn't fix it, remove the connector from the TCM. If that doesn't fix it, you have a wire in the harness that is chaffed and touching the body somewhere or another wire that is grounded.
Have you had any work done on it recently? Look over the wire harness good for wires that shorted out. (Rubber sheath worn away exposing wire to the body). Let me know how you make out brother.
I’d start with the ASD relay first. You can buy the same relay at any auto store. It’s either a 4 or 5 prong. Just swap it out change the fuse and see what happens.
Got the same thing illuminated around the prnd and 4 low light on. Code U0103. Think this is the same problem?
Ashlee Mcalister I would definitely try what I did in this video first. Let me know if you have any other questions or get stuck on anything. Good luck Ashlee, let me know how you make out too.
thanks MrV2u, got one question, what hooks up to the other plug?
What other plug? Toward the right of the shift knob? If you have a Jeep with 4wd low it’s a switch to activate it.
@@MrV2u Its awd, there isnt the 4x4 switch, all good ur video worked Great for me, tanx Budzzz
What were the symptoms of this part failing .
Jeep goes into limp mode, all the indicators have a box around them in the dash, poor fuel economy, hard shifts.
Shifter moves back and forth but doesn’t actually shift into reverse neutral or drive could it possibly simply be the shifter control module ?
Hey brother, your going to have to crawl under the Jeep to where the transmission linkage is located and have some one shift it into park, reverse and drive with the car off and see if the linkage moves back and forth. Let me know what you find.
