2 vehicles · 2 makes · $150-$2,500 repair
Most Reported On
P1757 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Governor Pressure Above 3 PSI In Gear At 0 MPH.” Manufacturer-specific (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram with RE-series automatic transmissions such as the 42RE, 44RE, 46RE and 47RE). The governor pressure control system regulates the pressure that controls first, second and third gear shifts, and the controller compares requested pressure to the pressure reported by the governor pressure sensor. This code sets when pressure stays above roughly 3 PSI while the vehicle is in gear and stopped, meaning the governor circuit is not bleeding down as it should. Drivers typically report harsh or delayed shifts, starting off in second gear, or the transmission dropping into limp mode. This code is most commonly reported on 1996-1999 Dodge Dakota, and 1994-2001 RAM 1500, with repair costs ranging from $150 to $2,500.
