This is my current issue as well. I made sure to drop the van off at the dealer with the check engine light on, but it turns off as the vehicle sits for a couple of hours. The stored codes were able to be pulled, so I don't see why they "need" to get the CEL to turn back on before fixing the issue. The van has been at the dealer for 7 days now, and they've driven it 185 miles at this point, with no CEL reoccurring. Prior to me dropping off the van, it stalled twice on the highway while doing about 75 mph on electric, and I was in the far left lane; it's an extremely dangerous situation to be in, so I'm in no hurry to pick that thing up unfixed.
I dropped it off with the light off. I just checked in they said there was a couple of bulletin updates that were needed but that was it that they could find. Hopefully it’s not to big of a deal since it went off by itself.
I hope it's not a big deal in your case. Prior to the stalling issue, the check engine light came on and went away a couple of times without any performance issues. Then, when the check engine light came on the next time, the van stalled on the highway about a minute later. So, my advice is to make sure you're in the right most lane if you're on the highway and the check engine light comes on, at least be prepared for a stall. The display will tell you to put the van in park, so you'll need to pull over, come to a stop and put the van in park. I've found that you also have to completely turn off the van and open the door to completely shut it down before it will restart. Again, hopefully this won't happen to you, but at least you'll know what to expect if it does
It's most likely an issue with the actual Drive Motor A inside the transmission housing, transmission replacement is the only solution I've seen with for this. As I understand it, every time the ICE engine switches to electric and vice versa, or with regenerative charging, drive motor A needs to be properly aligned. Misalignment will throw this error code, and can also cause the vehicle to stall. From what I've read on these forums, this misalignment can also cause wear on the gears in the transmission motor, since owners who have had their transmission fluid inspected found metal shavings in the fluid. I feel that Chrysler will always go for the cheaper replacements first, but this just kicks the can, and causes you to have an unreliable vehicle repeatedly in the shop for much longer than necessary. I hope you have are able to get in touch with Chrysler and get your van fixed quickly!
??? Yeah, good luck with that.
