1998 Dodge Grand Caravan P1941 Code: What Does It Mean? Diagnosing Transmission Issue

Model: 1998 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Fault Code: P1941 Posted: 2007-08-22 16:43

Hello, I own a 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L engine and automatic transmission, currently at around 156,000 miles. The check engine light came on, so I took it to Auto Zone, where they diagnosed a code P1941. I'm trying to understand what this code means — specifically, is P1941 related to the transmission control system? The information provided at Auto Zone mentioned it's a 'manufacturer-specific' code. Can anyone confirm if P1941 is a valid or recognized diagnostic trouble code for this vehicle model? Thanks in advance for any clarification or guidance! Note: The check engine light has come back on after going off for two days, though the vehicle runs smoothly during that time.

According to my Actron DTC lookup database, P1941 is listed as 'Manufacturer Control Transmission'. This suggests it's a manufacturer-specific code related to transmission control. I recommend taking the vehicle to an authorized dealer or a reputable transmission specialist for accurate diagnosis and repair. Best of luck — please update us if you find any resolution.

Are you certain it's not P1491? That code is more commonly referenced in older Dodge vehicles and relates to the radiator fan relay control circuit.

P1491 refers to the radiator fan relay control circuit, while P1941 appears to be a non-existent or unsupported code in current diagnostic databases. It may not be officially recognized by OBD-II standards for this vehicle.

The check engine light went off two days ago and has reappeared since — however, the car runs fine during that period. This intermittent behavior might suggest a temporary sensor issue or a false positive. I personally appreciate Chrysler's engineering, though this particular code remains confusing.

So is P1941 actually valid, or is it possibly a misread or incorrect code?

Are you experiencing any noticeable transmission issues? For example, does the vehicle shift smoothly? Is there proper transmission fluid level? Are overdrive functions working correctly? These details can help determine if the P1941 code is related to mechanical or electronic problems.
