TRANSMISSION - 5R55E - OVERDRIVE DRUM SPEED
SENSOR DELETED - SERVICE TIP
LIGHT TRUCK:
1997 AEROSTAR, EXPLORER, RANGER
ISSUE:
The Overdrive Drum Speed (ODS) sensor has been deleted as a running change. This may cause the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to receive stray signals from the non functional ODS sensor that may affect the operation of the transmission.
ACTION:
Disconnect the ODS sensor connector, cut off the connector end, and splice the wires together. This should reduce the possibility of stray signals affecting the operation of the transmission. Refer to the following service procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the ODS sensor connector from the sensor.
2. Cut off the connector end.
3. Splice and solder the two (2) wires together.
4. Shrink wrap the wires, and secure the wires to the harness. For proper wire splicing techniques, refer to the Augat Connector Repair Kit Manual.
5. Leave the sensor installed if using the original case. New service cases will not have an ODS sensor hole in the case.
