I have a 2013 Jeep wrangler and I keep getting a transmission code P0471 which states that there is an issue with the torque converter solenoid. The transmission shifts fine and I don't have any issues with it. If anything it sometimes feels as if the torque converter doesn't unlock soon enough. Most of the shops want to replace the transmission, has anyone else had this experience?

My 2015 jku had the same code and the coolant is definitely running hotter. Trans temp is fine 180 and below. What could be causing this? Thanks.
I've heard the TCC can have problems releasing when it's supposed to and cause the engine to run hot.
Also on your year of a Jeep the fan has a chip in it and when it goes bad the fan doesn't run on high speed to cool the engine. Read Post NO 49 in this link.

Sometimes it's hard to make repairs over the Internet but we try. Hahaha. I agree.

My fluid is pretty dirty. Bought it a month ago. Any ideas on where to start with the transmission code? I’ll look into the fan but not sure how that could play a roll int the transmission. Not real savvy on the 3.6. Thanks for getting back to me.
That code says Exhaust Pressure Sensor Signal, so that wouldn't have anything to do with the trans either.
The only thing I suggest would be to take it to a trans shop and not the dealer and have them check and give you a estimate on a repair.
