It is hard to see in the video what's going on, can you please add more light? Here is more information on the problem.
The P0731 code on your 2005 Dodge Magnum indicates an incorrect gear ratio for first gear. This means that the ratio between the input speed and the output speed of the transmission's first gear does not match the expected value.
The P0730 code you mentioned earlier also indicates an incorrect gear ratio, but it is a general code for the transmission and doesn't specify a particular gear. The P0731 code specifically points to first gear.
There can be several potential causes for this issue, including:
Low transmission fluid level or poor-quality fluid: Ensure that the transmission fluid level is correct and that the fluid is in good condition. If it is low or degraded, it can cause gear ratio problems.
Faulty transmission shift solenoid: The shift solenoids control the engagement of different gears in the transmission. A malfunctioning shift solenoid can cause incorrect gear ratios.
Internal transmission problems: Issues with the transmission gears, clutch packs, or other internal components can lead to incorrect gear ratios.
Faulty transmission control module (TCM): The TCM is responsible for controlling the operation of the transmission. A faulty TCM can send incorrect signals to the transmission, causing gear ratio issues.
To diagnose and resolve the problem, you may consider the following steps:
Check the transmission fluid level and condition: Ensure that the fluid level is correct and that the fluid is not contaminated or degraded. If necessary, perform a transmission fluid change.
Inspect the transmission wiring and connectors: Check for any damaged or disconnected wiring or connectors related to the transmission system. Repair or replace as needed.
Test the shift solenoids: The shift solenoids can be tested using a diagnostic tool or multimeter. If a solenoid is found to be faulty, it should be replaced.
Scan the TCM for trouble codes: Use a diagnostic scanner to retrieve any additional trouble codes stored in the TCM. These codes can provide more specific information about the problem.
