E150 MLPS Replacement Problems

So First time post:

Replaced the MLPS on my 1994 E150 Explorer Conversion Van (351 w/E40D). This vehicle still had the original, unmodified, pre-1995 connector (despite having the transmission replaced previously) so I replaced the connector according to instructions.

After replament the vehicle only only starts in Neutral. KOEO gives a 654 code(vehicle not in Park). I removed the shift cable from the MLPS and ensured it was securely in the Park position and still get the 654 and no-start condition.

Also- no reverse lights. Other than that transmission runs normally and the “shift into neutral” condition that prompted the replament has been resolved.

I've ordered a replacement MLPS under warranty, however the no reverse light makes me question the pin-outs on the connector. I swapped pin for pin, but it doesn’t match what I see from other models with the E40D.

Can anyone provide a correct pinout for the MLPS on 1994 E150 with E40D? Troubleshooting help appreciated!

Thanks for the info. Each different vehicle has a variation in the pinout(or the wire colors).

Im looking for a document specific to address the 94 E150....there used to be fleets of these vans...where’s the good ol’wiring diagram!?

The fix is the new switch and the new connector
Your problem is the reason they modified the MLP sensor, and you need to replace the connector to use the new TR sensor
