Talking Bad Trouble Wont Start

Ok I will start by saying I am an Idiot. Trying to connect the Manual TC lock up circut my color blind eyes connected the ground to the number 10 pin red and yellow wire. Now it wont start, Anyone know what I did? Where does that wire lead to? I get a ICP and Boost error from my banks six gun tuner.

OH Boy !

If you've disconnected the T/C wiring harness and it still won't start, you may have fried the ECM. A direct 12v hit will kill it.

Disconnect both batteries for at least an hour. Turn on lights then, push brakes etc. to drain any capacitors etc. Then try again after restoring to normal wiring and see what happens. Normal WTS light etc and post results. Pay close attention to dash lights when doing so. A direct 12V can fry the PCM as previously mentioned.

Gentleman! You were on the right track. after a lenghtly troubleshooting session I found that my transflow aux tank computer was not working either. It has nothing to do with the pcm so the direction was to find the power source for the Transflow (or in this case no power) an Viola there Fuse # 24 under the hood. Looked Ok but with the meter it was bad.


Thanks For the Leads

Tim in South Texas.

Fuse 24 under the hood is the PCM power relay fuse. It might be a good idea to power that aux tank from a different point. 10 is a mini and 20amp also its function is the Aux power socket so no chance of damaging something valuable like a PCM or IDM
