THE Dodge Dynasty Website The A604: TCM Error Codes The A604 has a very advanced (for

its time) electrical system which uses sensors, computers and all kinds of goodies to try to troubleshoot the A604 in real time. This can help prevent damage by turning on limp mode when something is thought to be broken. Chrysler's main flaw with this system, is that it requires a TCM code reader to get the codes- this is an expensive device that not everyone can afford. Fortunitely someone has developed an expiramental DIY-code reader. After getting a code reader, building a code reader or paying a shop to get the codes off of the TCM, you can get an idea what the TCM thinks is going onwhich is uber helpful in A604 troubleshooting. Here is a list of codes that cause limp mode
Error Codes That Cause Limp 11 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 31 32

33 36 39 41 42 43 44 47 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58

Now here is a nice chart that tells you what each code stands for:

Ok, the two charts above get you a basic idea of whats going on- I have yet, but may in the future, add a more comprehensive description of what each TCM error code is- however I do not yet have the time for this. In the meantime, hopefully this will be of some help!
