93 F150 e40d won’t shift?

My 93 F0150 was shifting hard along with me having to let off the gas so it would shift. However it will not shift past first gear while in drive. But I can manually **** it into second gear using the gear shifter.

Reading the codes is always the first step when you have a problem like this.
Throttle position sensors and transmission manual position lever sensors wear out over time and can cause a no-shifting problem. Luckily, these parts are cheap and easy to replace if they're bad.

Follow the steps as written in the previous post. DO NOT take the "shotgun" approach of throwing parts at it hoping to replace the faulty component. You must do some diagnostic testing or your wallet will get empty and you will be frustrated very fast.

I got 311, 116, 332, 536. None of them seem to be transmission related.

311 Thermactor air : engine running

116 Coolant temp higher or lower than expected: engine off or running

332 Insufficient EGR flow : engine running or stored

536 Brake On/Off circuit not activated : engine running or stored


These are or could be engine running (KOER) results so did you do the key on engine off test (KOEO) self test first and you get the system pass code 111? You must do the engine off test and repair any faults before moving onto the engine running test. Coolant temp could be that the truck was not up to operating temperature while code 536 could be operator error. Did you press the brake pedal during the engine running test when prompted?

Interesting that you don't have any transmission codes. I'm curious if you've lost electrical power to the transmission or maybe the transmission wiring harness has chaffed against something and damaged the wires.
Check the fuses under the hood and by the driver's knee to ensure none are blown. Then, crawl under the truck, under the passenger side door and inspect the harness and electrical connector for damage. The exhaust pipe runs nearby and it might have melted something.

Transmission related codes are stored in Continuous Memory. Run the Key On Engine Off (KOEO) tests and Stored Code display.

With no power to the solenoid pack I believe 4th and Reverse will work.
