- 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
Well I recently bought my 3rd explorer (6th RBV), after selling my trusty f150, its a lifted 01 explorer sport on 33's. I drove it home over two hours and it drove like a dream, no issues 1800 rpms doing 55 down the highway. Two days later my nightmares began, upon driving to the cafeteria on campus (i'm currently in college) my O/D off light began flashing and I threw a code, P0720, output shaft circuit sensor malfunction, so I quickly replace the sensor thinking all is well because the guy I bought it from claimed to have just had the transmission checked out and all was well. Long story short it didn't fix it, so I send it to my trans guy who holds on to it for a week simply to tell me the internals are good maybe I should try a new computer, so I go to the local scrapyard and pull one, making sure its the same model number, and then take it to my local dealer to get it programmed for my key. Still not fixed. Usually the trans acts right but occasionally I get some hard shifts and it seems to be throwing a lot higher rpms now than before. I can't afford to keep throwing money at this thing and i know I'll take a major hit if I sell it, luckily I have spring break next week and will have time to try to solve this problem but I could really use some advice on what may be my issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.
