My car, a 2006 Grand Cherokee, faced the same problem. I changed the transmission oil to no avail. The same problem remained when the car was running the transmission in position 3. The speedometer screen gave rise to heat in the transmission. I changed the car’s PCM computer. So far, no problem has occurred in my Grand Cherokee. 2006 in the transmission and there is no increase in the temperature of the transmission

I had the same issues with my 2006 Jeep Commander 5.7 Litre Hemi. Plus, my car would randomly shut off after cold starts. I replaced my module with a refurbished one from ebay. And its been running smooth ever since.

Hey, the dielectric grease is not for helping with electric current. I used to think the same thing but it does the opposite. It's great for putting on spark plug rubber though, not the metal parts. Great video!

Back in the day when I was a Jaguar Master Tech the engineers recommended putting dielectric greace on the connectors to prevent corrosion, which leads to high resistance in the circuit. I followed that added measure since I was living in Acapulco. There's a high chance of corrosion build up from the ocean.

I was getting that error message about the trans over temp when I replaced the ABS module. It wasn't communicating or it was doing it wrong. I think it was because I bent 2 pins inside the new mod. I got another new mod and it cleared up the code. Check for good connections before replacing the PCM next time. Now on to the limp mode that comes and goes and or seems to stay on.

My daughter's 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L has had the same error code for quite some time. It only happens when it sits idling for an extended period, or on really hot summer days at stop lights. It switches into a sluggish mode when the "transmission over temp" light comes on and if you pull over and switch it off and back on, the light goes off and it drives normally. Several shops I took it to could never get the code to trigger or figure out what was causing it. Very frustrating! I'll look into replacing the PCM, thanks for the video Christian!

@@trinity21MA Unfortunately no I haven’t replaced it yet. They run about $500 to $600 bucks and I’m about to sell it because it’s an extra vehicle right now that I don’t need. It looks easy enough to replace myself but I don’t think it would be worth it on resale unless I’m keeping the Jeep. If I was going to keep it I’d be ordering it today because that issue is really annoying in the summertime. I’m too honest and will tell a prospective buyer about it and take something off the price for it if they want to fix it later. If not I’ll sell it to someone else that wants to deal with it. I really like the 5.7L motor, it’s got great power for that size SUV and I’ve never had any problems out of it except for that annoying PCN error. Best of luck, I hope you get it fixed!
