CEL - am I reading it right?

So - transmission issues have been irritating me. Slipping, thumping, etc. Planning to take to a shop on Monday but first I ran the diag at Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test

From what I'm seeing, my codes are
111 - System Pass
116 - ECT out of self test range
767 - ??? I can't find t his anywhere ...

I took a video about the fourth time I did it. Posted on youtube.

What does ECT out of self test range mean? Am I reading the codes wrong?

Thanks!

Quick google of ECT is probably cold engine. I hadn't ran it at all to get it warm. Didn't realize that I needed to.

So, if I'm reading correctly, that may be the first one. Engine runs fine but transmission is slipping, clunking when I shift from park and hunting when I'm driving.

I think your truck will have 2 digit codes, also all code are always repeated, so you have 11, 11, 67, 67.. The 11 is all clear for the KOEO portion of the test. The 67 is probably from CM part of the test..

Here is a thread on the 67 code. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...code-67-a.html

Thanks - I was assuming it was three for some reason. Would the Neutral safety circuit failure cause transmission to go funky? I can certainly go get a new one and replace it ...

If you have an E4OD any code can cause the transmission to go into limp mode..

What does limp mode do? Would it cause the symptoms I'm having? Appreciate the insight. Gives me an idea where to go.

Limp mode is what Ford gave you to get home or to a shop when something goes wrong... It's protecting it's self.....

The E4OD goes to full line pressure and it slams as it shifts gears, it is designed to go full pressure to keep it from slipping and burning itself up.

A little searching for limp mode and E4OD will get you a lot of info..
