did this ever get solved? i'm having a similar problem thanks!

Also hooked up my laptop with forscan and no codes at all!

tried this....sadly without success. Still not a sign of transmission engagement. Will have to call around next week to ask local tranny shops...still open to other suggestions here though! Thanks again to all! PS-Happy New Year

Technical Service Bulletin; from dealer for common problems they acknowledge but aren't enough for a recall

Initially thought there may be a large fuse somewhere on the trans itself not the fuse box. Sorry to have you look up something I should have...thanks again! PS-I posted a few videos showing the current behavior... one more thing...inserting the ignition key was very difficult according to my...

Charged battery started truck right up but still no transmission activity. I made two videos showing a few weird things going on: -moving sheft lever through all gears has speedo showing some drift, even up to an apparent ~20-25 mph without any movement or sound whatsoever -weird whirring/...

Hi, all, Thanks for the responses! An update is the battery didn't really old a charge in the morning so I charged it overnight. The battery is new-ish (perhaps 6 months, new AAA premier battery). I haven't put it in yet but regarding the above suggestions: haven't checked the fluid since the...

Greetings all! Odd series of events. My 02 has 296k mi (second engine) and had trans rebuilt maybe 120-150k back. Son is back from college and didn't know how to turn off lights, thinking they were automatic. Battery fully drained, locked with keys inside. Called AAA to jimmy the lock using the...

spent a couple of hours on my back and many more checking for videos on the single connection to the fuel rail from the filter. Had the OEM loaner set from autozone...had several other fuel line tools. Saw many posts about stuck or difficult to remove and most say just keep trying. eventually...

you can check the schematic that is usually on the underside of the hood as well for the vacuum/egr stuff

Greetings! Background: CEL on. P0171 and P0174 with P0401 and P0442 as added bonus! Hooked up to full version of forscan and it shows a 0 psi reading for my tank pressure. Do forscan or explorers (2002 v6 vinE) have that sensor or is mine bad or is a monumental leak likely? If anyone can make...

I have my backup sensor light on and one of the free version obd2 iPhone scanners was able to read which sensor was bad. Mine was left outer which has a chip on the surface. Not sure which one it was since I downloaded a bunch and haven’t been able to figure out which one I like best…hope this...

yeah, my 02 has about 230k and does all types of strange things, most often the gauges all pin hard right for about a second or so, drop down to zero and then resume normal operation...odd. Also, I recently did body mounts 2 and 3 on both sides. Drove to get gas, transmission would not down...

The sensor can go bad but usually the bearing goes bad which trips the sensor. If you replaced the hubs yourself, it is much easier the next time you do it. I had bought many items for my 02 from Detroit Axle and their bearings now have 10 year warranties...hope this helps. One thing to watch...

moved mine completely forward where it got stuck...motor had life but tracks no movement...read whole thread. It is true, just gently reach onto one or both of the main threaded drive screws with a channel lock or other similar device (don't have to even grab it too strongly) and rotate the...
