If the wastegate is blocked you should get an error code - I did, cannot remember the code - sorry.

It's a British company, found them through a google search

Sorry but a lot more information is required to even guess what's happened - any OBD codes ? You say won't drive either way (assume forward and reverse ) but state less jumping in forward mode - please clarify. Is selection working correctly i.e. P R N 3 2 1 illuminating correctly ? Year, model, mileage - service history ? How long have you had the vehicle ?? Will try to help but there are many variables with the transmission.

You're a busy person (politically correct) - remember the sensor feeds the ECU which feeds a modulating sq. wave to the solenoid, if you've got a scope then make sure you're getting the pulsed wave when cold, sensors have a nasty habit of being sensitive to temperature. Understand the crank sensr is a bitch to change on RHD GVs - let us know how you get on. Oh the week, small price to pay, I've been trying to sort mine out (on and off) for two years + .

Did this a couple of years ago on mine, try this, cheapest I could find that had a good reputation. Works well

Unless there is a reason - smoky exhaust, poor performance / starting then why worry about a compression test - unless you've got some sort of come back on the purchase - if there is something wrong then it's going to be a very costly process to sort it out. Pulling the glow plugs to do the test is not the best method without disconnecting fuel lines as excess diesel in the bores can cause problems.

Looks like you've done an awful lot of work. At least it sounds as if things are gettig better if not yet perfect (Question to the whole community, does anyone have a perfect GV ?? - is there such a beast ?? Anyway, you mentioned changing the cam sensor - there may be mileage in changing the crank sensor (or testing it if you have the facilities. Have read on a forum somewhere that it can cause these types of problem whilst the EMS thinks it's in range. Also, check the fuel pressure sensor and fuel regulator solenoid.., and if that isn't enough,similar problems can occur with the O2 sensor, though this will I believe throw a OBD error.

If you're running on gas (American petrol) try Fuse 15 -20A; feeds to 87 on TCR.. I kow from the A104 reference that you're on diesel but of course the Yank's detail Diesel details in the WSM only when they see fit. Sorry, cann't help any futher other than suggest checking continuity back to the battery

What vehicle, what year, what engine ???

Car alarms (IMHO) are a waste of space, they go off for no apparent reason and when they do go off for the purpose they are intended everyone ignores it. Best of blxxdy luck ! - Please keep the forum updated on any progress.

This info is given with no personal knowledge of the gentleman, only gleened from the Facebook Grand Voyager / Town and Country Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/696452663776017) Tomsz Kulak appears to be an excellent mechanic with detailed knowledge of the GV. He appears to travel where ever - don't know his costs or anything eles about him but if everything else fails it may be worth contacting him through facebook ! Again I must emphasize, I have no personal knowledge of this man nor can I vouch for his apparent reputation on the site.

According to the manual !! TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE SENSOR The TRS has an integrated thermistor that the PCM/TCM uses to monitor the transmission’s sump temperature. Since fluid temperature can affect transmission shift quality and convertor lock up, the PCM/TCM requires this information to determine which shift schedule to operate in. The PCM also monitors this temperature data so it can energize the vehicle cooling fan(s) when a transmission “overheat” condition exists. If the thermistor circuit fails, the PCM/TCM will revert to calculated oil temperature usage. CALCULATED TEMPERATURE A failure in the temperature sensor or circuit will result in calculated temperature being substituted for actual temperature. Calculated temperature is a predicted fluid temperature which is calculated from a combination of inputs: ² Battery (ambient) temperature ² Engine coolant temperature ² In-gear run time since start-up so check if fans are cutting in ?? Oil gets less viscous as it warms up .. I imagine this would cause slip rather than not changing up but I may be (and probably are) wrong. If `the temp is out of range I would imagine you would get a OBD error code,although there is no mention of this in the 41TE section of the worksh*t manual .. check for error with key dance. Also can find no mention of acceptable temp range - sorry. Also, good to identify your vehicle as you may not have a 41TE box........

They won't work in series, may work in a parallel (think that's what you meant anyway )but suspect the GVs brain will detect this and diagnose it as a fault - also may blow the driver in IPM or fry the wiring.

Only too happy to supply diagrams if required... On the battery discharging overnight, this may be due to an old or underrated battery. Also when you've got a few moments check for excessive drain from the battery with every thing switched off. There is a great deal of information on the site regarding parasitic drain (quite often caused by a faulty audio amplifier) - If it is this just pull the fuse and check again. On the subject of the fifth door, there are reports of this on the site but have never heard how (or if) it was resolved. Pity you live so far away as I have a donor GV (2006) with a power rear door that works fine (died of gearbox failure), as bignev said this sounds like a precursor to the TCM providing another challenge. When I bought the donor I spent a bit of time trying to fix the gear problem - resolved the all gears lit up problem (wiring problem) - thought hey ho but did not resolve the gearbox problem - kept changing gear at will .. but that's another story. Good luck with your project (don't want to be pessemistic but it's enough of a challenge keeping a normal GV on the road.. (Yes Bignev, I agree, there ain't no such thing as NORMAL with respect to the GV..

According to the workpoo manual fuses 1,2,3 control the front lights 1 - Front Fog Lamps 2 - left parking / turn lamp 3 right parking/ turn lamp & rear lamps ( assume the parking lamps are also the front sidelights ? Headlights are fed directly from the front control module (both high and dip Bulbs blown ?? Switch dodgy ?? wiring damaged ?? let us know how you get on

Thanks to Ben for upload adjustment - picture of mirror switch now available !!

Welcome to the UK Chrysler forum, why not fill in the details of your vehicle ~ assume you own some kind of Chrysler, I think those of us that aren't hybernating are doing OK !

Thanks for posting a 'solution' reply - helps everyone.

Sorry didn't motice the 6 speed auto bit...Ooops - check fluid level - again mileage / service history. Is it the same hot or cold - the engine / transmission - not the atmosphere. Sounds like luxury to have 6 speed auto but maybe 1 1/2 times the probles of a four speed ? As far as I am aware there's no workpoo manual available for this model ?? - If it's anything like that for the Mk IV then you are not missing much. Transfer the question to the GV 5 forum and see what happens

auto or manual (Ps) put queries in the Voyager forum - more likely to get a reply! = assume as you say selecting 1st gear it's manual - maybe clutch is on the way out - mileage ? service history ??

Sorry it took so long to reply - I normally go straight to the GV4 forum, didn't get any notification on this one - Thankyou, well done !

Aha - isn't life amazing

Sorry I don't think I can help at all. The circuit diagram for the V8 in the workpoo manual is totally different to your description and image. There is no BLUE connector on the coil circuit, there is no blue connector at all with a pink tab. Coil Control No.1 - Pin 3 Ign Coil fed from pin 10 on the PCM K19 DB/DG Connector C2 Pin2 goes to Pin 3 on the IPM K342 BR/WT (Auto Shut Down) Connector C4 Coil Control No.2 -Pin 4 Ign Coil fed from pin 9 on the PCM K17 DB/TN Connector C2 Coil Control No 3 -Pin 1 Ign Coil fed from pin 7 on the PCM K18 BR/OR Connector C2 How the hell did you upload that image - I cann't load the smallest image at all !

Depending on how much you value the vehicle you could try drilling out the threaded section of the camshaft and helicoil it -WARNING may destroy the engine if not accurately done. otherwise; REMOVAL (1) Remove cylinder head cover (2) Remove camshaft position sensor and camshaft target magnet (3) Remove timing belt (4) Remove camshaft sprockets and timing belt rear cover (5) Bearing caps are identified for location. Remove the outside bearing caps first (6) Loosen the camshaft bearing cap attaching fasteners CAUTION: Camshafts are not interchangeable. The intake cam number 6 thrust bearing face spacing is wider.

HIya.. yup seems everyone (if there are more than 1) have gone AWOL... spamming, well at least the witch doctors still haunt the site.
