P1757 CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP: GOVERNOR PRESSURE ABOVE 3 PSI AT 0 MPH
Automatic transmissions use mainline, throttle pressure, and governor pressure to control and lubricate the transmission. The governor pressure allows the transmission to upshift, and the throttle pressure causes the transmission to downshift. Older transmissions had mechanical governors, which consisted of springs, centrifugal weights, and a spool valve to control the pressure. On the other hand, modern transmissions use solenoids for the shift timing.
With the regulator pressure control system, it is possible to adjust this factor, which in turn contributes to the changes for first, second, and third gear. In this system, various tests are carried out to check that the requested pressure and the actual pressure are within a pre-determined range.
The P1757 OBD2 fault code is stored when the monitored regulator pressure is higher than 41.4 kPa (6 psi) for 5 seconds, and the gear selector is in the drive position with the road speed equal to zero. For this code to be set, the transmission fluid temperature must be between 23 and 88° C (73 and 88° F).
Reasons for setting the P1757 OBDII diagnostic code:
