can i install it myself
what else should i look at before assuming this is the culprit
actron code 653 says tcs did not switch during test a0de/w1995 f150 5.0
transmission control switch- truck loses torque at highway cruising speeds maybe its shifting down. when this happens at 60 mph on road engine revs if i dont get foot off accelerator and torque suddenly comes back tranny slams back into gear feels like i got rear ended by a vw.actron code scanner gave code 653 -tcs did not switch during key on engine running self test. where is switch located?
i think 4r70w and aode/w are same transmission .the tag on side of tranny reads aode/w.im going to shop to have their big scanner check it out. i will post their results when i get back.
took to shop ran through snap on scanner.he said soelinoid was going bad and said it was an aode service bulliton/recall issue .said ford had been saying that soleinoid had problems and to switch it out with improved solenoid.$400-$500 parts and labor. i had taken it to another shop who said i needed a full rebuild after taking it on a road test but with no scan .i thought that was a load of crap as the truck only has 83500 miles on it.ihave been told that the aode tranny is a good strong transmission . am i right or wrong? i had hoped for 150000 miles out of it before any major overhauls. i take good care of my vehicles.this is totally over my head and i dont want to get ripped off!
