Great tutorial. After sinking a lot of money into my 06 pt I found this video tutorial. Followed the steps to bypass the tipm for this particular code and if fixed my car. Even tho I had already installed a new tipm it still had the code and would not let the trans shift. Followed these steps and fixed it. Thanks for the help!!!

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics You're probably also bypassing some other "safety" issues--- by not letting the TIPM put the transmission in limp mode for other reasons.. For example, I know that if the Accelerator pedal and the throttle body (or throttle position sensor) do not agree because the throttle is sticking, or more likely: the plastic gears that actuate the throttle body break--- It goes into limp mode, because the throttle could randomly go to WOT (wide open throttle) or something, or could get stuck in WOT after you step on it-- because of a broken piece of gear making it stick open, ect.. ect.. I'm sure there are other reasons. My 2010 Dodge Nitro had this issue, and the trans was put into limp mode--- obviously by the TIPM---------- This bypass won't allow that to happen now--- so if the car got stuck in WOT, the person would have to think fast enough to lock the brakes, turn off the key, throw it in neutral, ect. ect.. Which honestly I'm fine with myself. We don't need this nanny state mentality trying to hold everyone's hand and save them from these very unlikely hypotheticals by putting our cars in limp mode for us. (although, it did happen to my Nitro--- and it did high rev a few times like it had a mind of it's own: so it's not that uncommon I guess. lol). A new throttle body fixed my issue. I love the work around here IVAN.. but it does come with it's legal liabilities.

I'd be mighty proud of that fix! You are truly a "repair" man not a replace man.

Well done Ivan, if that car was older this might make the difference in fixing or junking it. Seems like the customer is getting a deal.

Ivan, you are remarkable ! You make me feel like I was part of this repair. Your customers are truly blessed.

I think that is what Chrysler did for the fuel pump circuit failing in the Tipm a few years ago. The Tipm modules were so bad that they were causing vehicles to stall in the middle of the road. They were on back order while they fixed the design flaw so the dealers installed an external relay. Well done, Ivan.

this video series has been sitting in my Watch Later for like... 5 years. 5 years ago, I was driving a 2005 base model PT Cruiser as a last resort, no money for a replacement unless i wound up in dire straits. Well.... I did. the car would literally start giving me MASSIVE issues actually delivering power above a certain accelerator setting once the engine bay got too warm. The car damn near killed me losing power abruptly while at highway speeds, and would not restore it until I waited an arbitrary amount of time. At the time I had no idea what was going on. I wish I had watched this series back then, because I might have been able to tell someone to figure out what in the TIPM was losing its mind and replace it with a relay. Instead I spent all my money on a completely different used car. Honestly I don't regret doing so. I just think it is insane that a vehicle could be designed *this* unreliably.

I would do the same as you. Any time you can wire in a relay to do the same job as a module relay, you can do it. Just make sure the new relay has the appropriate diode across the relay coil to dissipate the control voltage (PCM protection). Nice Job. Having the wiring diagrams makes it easy.

Worked like a charm . Thank you so much ! Saved me hundreds for a new TIPM . 🎉

The underside of that tipm is completely different than the one I was working on but we both came to the same fix essentially, but your choice is a lot more professional than what I did. I simply eliminated the tipm and connected the two wires together outside of the unit since they were both battery voltage wires I didn't even think about installing a relay. Whoops, but it worked. After 18 months, of having one problem after another we finally got rid of the car and the next owner had zero problems with it afterwards. Of course the car was totaled in an accident about 6 months after it was sold but they were 6 months of trouble free driving anyhow.

The TIPM was a bad idea courtesy of Mercedes Benz engineers... Daimler-Benz owned Chrysler at the time and demanded that Chrysler change over to Mercedes-style electrical system (complexity, unreliability, and HANG the cost). Earlier PTs than 2006 did not have TIPMs.

Where I work, I use a stereo microscope when looking at circuit boards. It really allows you to get in there and see things really well. Also, a lot of people have mentioned a freewheeling diode backwards across the coil. You didn't mention it so we don't know if you know about it or not. Before you ever connect a relay, you have to consider the back EMF from the relay coil when you shut it off. It can be thousands of volts. Also, the light test on that output doesn't tell you how much stress that light is putting on the circuit. Something else to be mindful of while doing this type of repair.

Very good repair Ivan. I'm not Russian but would do the same thing. The only change I would make is to put the fuse very close to the battery terminal. That way the power wire is protected on the way up to the relay.

I have a 2010 PT , took it from my daughter she had nothing but problems, and gave her my car. have the head lights on the right side not working and the horn, and I wasn't about to replace the TIPM.

Dude, you are a lifesaver. I had no idea what was going on with my Chrysler 200. Same exact set up. The car was also low-voltage code would randomly come on when I would hit a speed bump or something and it would go into limp mode. Sometimes it would drive for an hour. Sometimes it would do this nonstop. I finally took out the TIPM and started smacking it around and it’s working right now. Worst case scenario I go to the junkyard. I did not even know where to begin, and this has been plaguing me for a month. I kept thinking it was a bad ground somewhere. Nope.

I basically did the similar thing you did by doing it the"old school way" and presto no more overheating problems. I've done this with electric fuel pumps as well, works every time. Nothing like the old school way IMO.

Thank you very much, for explaining slowly and clearly,your video helped me a lot

Nice old school fix Ivan! Thanks for sharing. Sounds fair vs the bazillion dollar TIPM.

Awesome fix .ive always thought there had to be a way to bypass the tipm and I’m glad you did it to prove it also a great diagnose

That is the right way yo go. PT cruiser are well know for lots of problems including electrical, transmission and so on. You just safe this PT from the scrap yard and save the owner of a big expensive repair that could easy get half of the cost of the PT cruiser market value. If I'm the customer and you explain what was the plan and I approved it. I will be more than happy with your rate and total cost.

Nice job Ivan! 👍👍 In my book, this is what we techs should be doing - figuring out how these over-engineered magic boxes operate, then ELIMINATE them for a fraction of the cost! I extended my middle digit to any automaker who engineers systems like this! 😤

Simply outstanding lad. Well done. 3 1/2 hours....fair charge. Go for it

The charges are realistic. They are paying for what you know, not the actual hands on part of the repair. They pay for the smarts, not the parts. The stealership would have raked the guy over the coals and maybe never got it fixed in the end. After many sad situations I gave up on the dealers years ago. Half-assed repairs or bad diagnostics and big bills drove me crazy. Oh the stories I could tell. I do my own work now and I may be slow, but I get it done and save money. You customer saved a ton of money here. WELL DONE SIR!!!!

Considering it acted up whenever you tapped it or moved it with some sort of vibration it's very likely there's a cold solder joint (cracked). I reckon it's the board interconnect where the two PCBs meet at a right angle (most leverage there when shaking and most movement). Power transistors or MOSFETs actually rarely go bad. If this went bad, other things might very likely go bad as well soon. If the conformal coating wasn't too thick at that interconnect, I would have tried reflowing that lead-free solder, which is prone to cracking, with some leaded and had a look if that fixed the issue. Fixed nonetheless, very nice!

@jannepo

Agreed. The most likely place for a lead free solder to crack is at the 90 degree connection between the two boards. The gate trace of the MOSFET on the board goes there (visible at 3:09) and tapping the top of the TIPM might cause the 90 degree connection flex if housing let the connection bend -> failure prone. Bad design. If it's not a cracked solder joint, another option could be installing a micro relay inside the TIPM at the right upper hand area (3:09) of the board and wire it to the signal connector from ECM, load side positive from the MOSFET plus and load out to the output pin.. This way no-one would see the relay ;) Agree that the risk is that some other solder joint will crack later at the 90 degree location.

The ability to prove in various ways, that a costly module is the issue is time consuming. Then then 1.5 hrs for the fix is about fair.. maybe even a bit more. The work involved in opening the TIPM and then studying the board and THEN coming up with a solution, outside the norm is also worth every penny, especially compared to the cost of an entire unit.
