Sluggish movement and inability to climb hill was created by davidessiendcarguy
A client called me complaining about the car that has an acceleration problem. The car is 2007 dodge caliber SXT and the codes that were retrieved are U1146, P2770, P0963, P0967, P1729. The car moves very sluggish and can't climb slightest of bump on the road or a hill. Please, how can I fix this problem?

Sounds like the CVT is in limp Mode.  ALL 3 codes are circuit high codes, maybe short to voltage, an open, or no ground reference.

The U code is most likely set because of the other three fault codes.  I've included the fault trouble trees, maybe there is something in common like 1 bad ground setting all 3 circuit codes off.

Thank you so much sir. I've gone testing it and observed that there's no power in pin 3 of the solenoid
circuit using a test light and a DVOM. Alldata said there must be bright illumination like that of a battery. But there's no voltage when tester is in ground. What should I do next? Where's the power coming from, is it at the TIPM or PCM?
