Had a 2002 Chrysler Sebring in today. The car was in failsafe mode (it was stuck in 2nd gear) and the check engine light was on. The code was a manufacturer’s code 36, indicating a problem in the torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit. The transmission fluid was in good condition. After using our nifty breakout box computer to rule out an electrical problem inside the transmission, we began investigating wiring connections outside the transmission. We found a broken wire on the main harness connector to the transmission, barely visible because it was close to the connector. We repaired the harness connector, and voila, problem solved.
For under $200, the customer who thought she was facing a transmission overhaul got her car back in great shape.
