sat for years and years, odometer showed 400 miles til towed home, now almost 700, everything looks brand new, foil tape still on all openings. Has data plate for Navy fire fighting foam system, swamped engine now runs..... anyways back to the story....
drained fluid, looked very good, bright red, no water, no black floaters,
missing tcm so installed Used tcm, fault light on, no flashy from light when put in service mode, ordered different tcm, now shows dtc 73 when put in service mode, power is correct, started and ran 100 yards, shift from 1-2 then limp mode, code 73, ohms at tcm j1 to test pressure control solenoid (pcs) within posted limits, 4.7ohms,
no oil in trans j1, clean, tight connection
drained new oil, dropped pan, pan clean, tested pcs with wiring disconnected, still 4.7ohms, hear a click when plugging and unplugging,
pulled pcs from body, looked new like everything else, no fm on screens, bench tested with 10v, clicks when power is applies.
installed new pcs, bench tested 4.9ohms, tested ohms from tcm plugs, 5.7ohms, not within limits, but i am also testing from the maximum distance.
Any other suggestions other than another tcm

Are you working with Supplement 7. Do either of the PCS solenoid wires show continuity with ground. Is there ATF in the Deutch connector. The usual suspects.

Yes using sup 7,

i verified, not going to ground,

no atf in transmission j1 connection, clean like new and tight.

reverified ohms at tcm j1, 4.9ohms. when i get more time i may check the tcm box external plug to internal plugs, seems high to have 1 ohm in a 4" of wire and 2 plugs.


if a mod wants to combine this thread with this one, since they are the same fault, i am good with that . https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/4l80e-pressure-control-solenoid.217929/
