1996 Dodge Caravan TCM
The 1996 Dodge Caravan TCM controlled the 3-speed 31TH or 4-speed 41TE automatic transmission for the NS platform’s 3.3L or 3.8L V6 engine. In 1996, this Transmission Control Module managed shift points and clutch operation, ensuring smooth gear changes for the Caravan in 1996. Compatible with base, SE, and LE trims, the 1996 TCM interfaced with the PCM to optimize transmission performance, distinct from 1997’s updated shift logic.
Specifications for 1996 Caravan TCM
- Transmission Compatibility: Managed 31TH or 41TE automatics.
- Part Number Range: Typically 047XXXX series (confirm fitment).
- Integration: Coordinated with 1996 PCM for shift timing.

1996 Model Year Context
In 1996, the Dodge Caravan TCM was essential for the NS platform’s transmission performance, managing the 31TH or 41TE automatics. Unlike 1997’s refined TCM, the 1996 model focused on basic shift control, lacking advanced adaptive logic. It processed inputs from vehicle speed and throttle sensors, ensuring reliable operation for family use. The 1996 TCM was critical for the 1996 Dodge Caravan’s drivability, supporting its role as a dependable minivan in 1996.
