E4od and the brake light

[nj_m715]

it's hard to feel the difference when the convertor locks.
my converter was not locking, it felt mostly normal but smelled like the trans was burning after 15-20 mins on the highway

If you push the OD OFF button at 60 you will get a big change in RPM. Because its now in third gear.

That's exactly what I thought.

I don't think the TC is locking up.

Want to bet that one or more of the sensors that I asked them to check, are bad?

Although... no codes were stored when I checked today. So... Who knows.

If you have no codes stored, there is a good chance the converter is done.

Brand new transmission and converter. Not even 50 miles on it.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything, new parts also fail.

True.

I am working on electrical stuff right now. Got 3 projects I'd like to get done. When I am done, I'll take it back and mention that the brakes seem to be dragging, the brake light still stays on, and the TC is not locking up.

Not going to mess with those things for now, myself, because I don't want to mess up the warranty.

Only caveat to that is that I might remove the parking brake assembly and see if I can get them the slack they'll need, to get that system put back together.

The stator seal could have been damaged or incorrectly installed. TCC valve in the pump could be stuck.

Either way to fix it, the tranny needs to be pulled.
