P0657 Chrysler Code - Solenoid Supply Voltage Circuit

Quick Answer

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transmission solenoid circuits by supplying voltage to the solenoids through this circuit, then checking for voltage returning from the solenoids through each of the individual solenoid control wires. Common causes include Faulty Transmission Solenoids, Transmission Solenoids harness is open or shorted, Transmission Solenoids circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code P0657 Chrysler Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transmission solenoid circuits by supplying voltage to the solenoids through this circuit, then checking for voltage returning from the solenoids through each of the individual solenoid control wires. If one of the solenoid return circuits does not have the correct voltage returning to the PCM, the PCM will set a code for that solenoid.
However, DTC P0657 sets when ALL of the solenoids do not have the correct voltage returning to the PCM all at the same time.

Discuss the causes and fixes for P0657 Chrysler OBDII Code

  • I have a 2005 Chrysler 300 and the car has no speedometer, abs module has no communication, transmission is not working right (not switching gears), I have the code p0657, After check all wires from TCM and solenoid package, found no problems, I replace the solenoid package, I still have the same problems, now I install a used TCM, still the same. I think the VSS comes from the plate on the transmission, I don't have input/output sensors, but until now I didn't find the problem.

  • I apologize for the late response. Looks like you are not getting power to the solenoids or TCM. Do you have power to the TCM from the Transmission Relay? What engine size is in your 300?
