62TE delayed forward engagement

The complaint

A 2016 Dodge Journey with the 62TE transmission had a complaint of delayed forward engagement and fluid leaking out of the vent when the transmission is placed in drive only. A code P0740 “Torque Converter Clutch Malfunction” was set.

The cause

When the valve body cover was removed, the technician saw that the EMCC-VFS Solenoid was broken at the mounting bracket and had partially worked its way out of the valve body (see figure 1, above). Since the solenoid is located close to the vent area, this was the cause of fluid leaking out the vent. This also was responsible for the converter clutch slip and the setting of code P0740. The delay forward was the result of a low fluid condition caused by the vent leak.

The correction

The transmission received a soft parts overhaul, a replacement converter and a new EMCC-VFS solenoid which eliminated all complaints.

Continuously Variable Transmissions, or CVTs, are more common than you think. Audi, Subaru, Nissan, Ford, GM and many other automakers use CVT transmissions in cars and SUVs. There is no way to avoid them. Chances are there is one in your shop right now.

What does CVT mean for technicians? On the maintenance side, a CVT requires more or the same frequency of fluid and filter changes as a conventional automatic transmission, and many of the basic procedures are the same. On the diagnostic side, a CVT is less complicated internally than a six- or nine-speed transmission. Diagnostics with a scan tool are about the same. On the service side, while you may never pull a variator or belt out of a CVT, you can service components like sensors, pumps and valve bodies. The point here is not to fear a customer complaint about a CVT.
