P215C on Dodge
On Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles, the transmission computer sees the output shaft speed and the wheel speeds disagree
Severity: Inspect soon
The check engine light comes on and the bulletins pair the code with shift quality, 4x4 and PTU problems; the Cherokee PTU bulletin mentions grinding and a vehicle that will not move.
It gets more serious if:
- Stop: Stop driving if there is grinding under the vehicle, a thump, loss of drive or the vehicle will not move; FCA's Cherokee bulletin links the code to a broken PTU input spline.
