P1757 on Dodge
Governor Pressure Above 3 PSI In Gear At 0 MPH
P1757 on Dodge vehicles indicates governor pressure above 3 psi in gear at 0 mph. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Dodge model — most commonly on Dakota. 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. Typical repair costs on Dodge range from $150 to $2,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P1757
- •Failed governor pressure sensor (a very common failure on RE-series transmissions)
- •Faulty or sticking governor pressure solenoid
- •Contaminated, burnt, or low transmission fluid
- •Clogged transmission filter restricting the governor circuit
- •Damaged wiring or corroded pins at the transmission case connector
- •Internal valve body wear or a failed transmission control module

- 46RE/42RE Governor Pressure Solenoid and Sensor Failure1996-1999
The electronically-modulated 42RE (behind the V6) and 46RE (behind the V8) automatic transmissions, used 1996-1999, rely on a governor pressure solenoid and a governor pressure sensor mounted on the valve body to control shift timing. Heat and mileage fatigue the sensor and cause the solenoid to stick, producing erratic, harsh, or delayed shifts. A failed sensor commonly forces the transmission into limp mode (locked in a single gear). This is a well-known, relatively inexpensive failure often misdiagnosed as a worn-out transmission - Mopar reportedly priced the parts high early on because so many were failing.
