My Converter lock up had been kicking in and out going down the HWY for some reason.
I checked everything related and found no issues, or any codes.
I plugged my Actron scanner in on the drive to work, and I noticed the TP sensor was not reading right all the time. It would jump by several #'s in certain spots. So I figured I'll just go ahead and replace it.

Needless to say, My lock up has not acted up since.

After looking up certain parts of the program, I realized the computer thought I was accelerating fairly fast, when the voltage from the tps changed rapidly, it was dropping out the lock up. :eek:

Very cool cheap trans. fix!

im a HMMWV (hum-v, hummer) mechanic and i see issues like that all the time on the trucks in my unit except they are 4L80Es.

its really nice to find that the real issue isnt the actual tranny.
