stuck in park DTC P0700
I have a 05 pacifica I have been away for about 3 weeks the car is stuck in Park. The interlock system is working properly and have tried the manual override tab to get out of park. I have trouble shot this far. I got out my code reader and get code P0700 transmission control system malfunction. I have read a few other places and think it may be the solonoid pack? any ideas?

Are you parked on an incline? Does the shifter move out of Park when you hit the overide?

parked on incline but have jacked up the front end with tires off thr ground Will not come out of park with override depressed. Also will not move if pushing on shifter lever on trans either.

If it will not come out of park when you press the pink tab then I would say it it is in the shifter itself. Do you hear the click when you step on the brake? The ignition key also interlocks the lever but does not sound like the problem. One other thing you could try is to pull the cable end off the shaft in the engine compartment and see if the shaft moves by hand. The cable is a press fit on the shaft and can be pulled up.

Could be a Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) problem.
Start with this; SHIFTER LOCKED IN PLACE (1) Remove the instrument panel cover below the steering column, then remove the steering column shrouds to gain access to the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid. The solenoid is part of the interlock cable assembly. (2) Disconnect the wire connector from the rear of the BTSI solenoid. (3) Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position. (4) With the brakes applied, try moving the shifter out of the PARK position. ² If the lever now moves freely in and out of PARK, perform the Circuit Test below. ² If the shift lever still does not move from the PARK position, remove the BTSI cable from the shift lever assembly. If the shift lever now moves freely in and out of the park position, the BTSI solenoid is faulty and the interlock cable must be replaced. If the shift lever still does not move from the park position, the problem is in the shift lever assembly or the ignition interlock cassette. |
This happened to my wife today too. I went to "rescue" her from my daughters swim class where they were stuck. I tried the little pink bypass button, with no sucess. Rocked the car what I could, but it didn't help. It sounds like the solenoid is working, it clicks when i press on the brake. I'm guessing I'll to disconnect the cable from the tranny and shift it into gear to get it home. Hopefully that will work.

I tried pressing the pink lever no dice. I hear a clicking noise ands see the lock out move on the shifter. I ended up taking the cable off the trans and manually put it in drive and took it to a shop. should know something today

I had the same prob few weeks ago when i got off work. called my homie which is a mach he told me what to do.... and it worked. Pull as hard as u can (i mean real hard) on shifter out of park. I was scared to do this at first but it was 109 degrees outside and i wanted to get home. Something snapped in the gear box below the shifter and it came out of park. I then put it back in park and notice it can now move out of park when foot is off brake. O'well I drive home shut the car off and restarted it and it works fine again... go figure...? no issues so far.

I am having the shifter interlock system replaced at a cost of about 240.00 I have 2 children and felt that it was worth the money for the feature. My mechanic told my I could break the interlock as described above too. Jeff |

What you did was basicall break the safety switch. it is not a problrem but as you noted you no longer have the safety interlock that requires you to press on the brake pedal to remove from park.

Interesting yout Interlock system still works? My replacement shifter and labor was 192.00 total
If this happens again I will just strong arm the shifter and hope for the best. Thanks for clarifying your post! Jeff |
This same problem happened to me. There is a second pink lever inside the shifter (other than the one that moves when you press on the brake). This second pink lever has a hook that a spring attaches to, the hook breaks on almost all models that use this part eventually. Really, this should warrent a recall as it requires you to open your shifter to replace the part. Below is the link to the part that you need to replace. It costs around 49.00 including tax and shipping. They have full directions on how to remove the shifter in order to replace the part.
http://www.custombilletstore.com/product_p/1028.htm I think everyone should tell Chrysler about this and force the recall. It takes around 2 hours to remove, replace the part, and then reinstall the shifter. |
