Hi All,
I'm having a curious problem with the trans. I got a code 62 a while back and changed the converter to a new triple disc but the code came back immediately. The conditions that make the code pop up are going uphill with overdrive off, or on. If the OD is off while going uphill it still causes a code 62. I don't quite understand that since the converter isn't commanded to come on. On flat ground, or slight inclines, the converter locks and stays locked and won't throw a code. Hitting the brakes causes it to unlock as it should. It only happens on long steep hills. Otherwise it shifts perfectly fine. The speedo and rpm read correctly with no bouncing.
What I did prior to changing the converter are:
New Motorcraft VSS
New Motorcraft RPM sensor due to bare wires at the sensor
Cleaned and greased the trans connector and solenoid pack (seemed perfectly fine with no corrosion before cleaning)
New MLPS'sss I've had to change a few of these
Checked fluid levels frequently
Checked FIPL voltages and they're in range
Installed new stator seal while converter was out
Fluid is still red and not burnt
Checked all wiring and it seems fine
I'm going to change out the solenoid pack and connector this weekend. I have no idea if it's original but that's all I can see left to try, other than there being an internal hard parts problem.
I don't feel bad about changing the converter because it was a little scorched. I'm not sure if this is typical though.
Any suggestions?
