5r55e second gear

After replacing the valve body gasket, low/reverse gasket, and the kit from Ford my engine braking has returned and works well.
When I plugged my obd2 scanner in I noticed most of the time my truck shifts 1-3-4-5. I have noticed 2nd gear, but rarely.
Is there a second gear or is it 1st gear in overdrive? Not sure what to check or should I try to reset the computer? Thanks

That is the way they are programmed to shift. Second gear is first gear plus overdrive. With your right foot on the floor you should have second gear.
