The cooler by-pass tube assembly was introduced in 1997 as a production item for some models and an upgrade for all previous models. For all 1998-Up 4R100 s it is a production item. There are two different Ford part numbers due to changes in the case fittings and vehicle applications. These seals will fit all applications regardless of assembly part number. Care must be taken when disassembling the fitting from the tube. One O-ring is used as the retainer and will be destroyed upon disassembly. Two O-ring seals are used to seal the fitting to the tube. When reassembling the tube, the use of a lubricant to ease insertion of the retaining Oring is strongly suggested..."

DTC 27, 29, 452, P0502, P0503, PO716, PO718; Insufficient input from VSS.; "...A more difficult problem to identify is a VSS that works, but sends out the wrong signal for a given vehicle speed. In some cases, a wrong reading from the VSS may still cause a code to be set. For example, if the VSS signal tells the computer the vehicle is traveling 60 miles an hour, but the throttle position sensor and MAP sensor tell the computer that the engine is idling, the computer will be confused. And a confused computer should set any of the following codes: Ford 27, 29, 452. On a vehicle that uses the VSS as a safety device, a defective sensor may send out a wrong "too fast" signal, shutting down fuel flow at the wrong time. Although this doesn’t happen often, it can be a difficult problem to identify. The customer will probably describe it as a random or intermittent sudden loss of power and poor performance, onlyto have the engine resume normal operation. Routine diagnostic checks of the engine in the shop won’t show any problem because there isn’t a problem with the engine or the ECM..." read more

DTC 327; "...It's not that the engine problem causes the transmission problem, it's just that engine problems can easily be mistaken for transmission problems. If you have a shudder under load it could be a problem with the converter clutch, or it could be due to a problem with the EGR system causing the engine to misfire under load. If the converter clutch is unlocked and slipping the converter slippage can mask the misfire, and when the converter locks the misfire is noticable because the converter slip is gone. I would definitely take care of the EGR system first since it can cause misfires, and is likely to be much less expensive to repair than a transmission problem..." Page 2

DTC 62, 628 & 1744 Converter Overheat, High Line Pressure; "...E4OD/4R100 transmissions often have problems with converter overheat, codes 62, 628, 1744, high line pressure and low cooler. The OEM valve can close off critical converter/cooler circuit under high-demand situations, causing the TCC to drag on and glaze the lining at idle, or restricting converter/cooler charge during high load causing converter slip codes, overheat and lube failures. flow. Sonnax now offers an upgraded line-to-lube pressure regulator valve 36424-04K with a patented internal line-to-lube passage with anti-drainback check valve, and a revised balance-end orifice. While drilling the pump casting will allow full-time flow to the cooler circuit, it is not precise and allows converter drainback, causing delayed engagements complaints. A revised balance end orifice is built into the valve and ensures sufficient oil is fed to the end of the PR valve to keep the valve in the proper regulating position and further preventing converter/ cooler flow restrictions. This is a drop in replacement that requires no machining..."

Source: by Ford via diesel-central.com via web.archive.org
DTC 628; "...code 628 can be caused by a mechanical problem or electrical problem. First thing to do is to check power to the solenoid connector at the transmission. These solenoids are 12 volt solenoids, not 5 volts......I have attached a few pictures for reference. Unplug the transmission connector and check the VPWR wire for 12 volts first with the key on at the harness itself. Then if OK, check the solenoid resistance with an OHM meter on the 200 OHM scale through the pin on the connector coming out of the transmission marked TCC & VPWR pins. Should be 0.98 to 1.6 OHMS as MTB has said. I usually used a special transmission tester tool, but this is the only way you can do it. I have seen many of these code 628 in the past, and I'm sorry to say 95% have been internal Mechanical failure. These tests for the solenoids are only going to tell you if the solenoid is open or within spec. It will not tell you if a piece of junk is stuck in the solenoid causing it to bleed pressure to the TCC, therefore giving you a rough running engine, shuddering feeling or stall in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear caused by the Torque converter clutch being applied at the wrong time..."

DTC 628; "...I did things in a stupid-simple way when the 628 came up: I tapped into the TCC line, and attached a voltmeter between that line and chassis ground. While driving, I could watch for it to go between zero volts (meaning the PCM was commanding the converter to lock) and battery voltage (meaning the converter should be unlocked). It sounds counterintuitive at first, but that's a matter of perspective, I suppose. Anyhow, if you see the PCM trying to lock the TCC and nothing happens to the engine speed, or if you can give it a little more throttle and the engine speed rises while it's commanded to lock, then you're assured a problem exists. If there was an electrical problem, then the PCM should also be giving you a code 627 as well. The 628 indicates excessive converter slippage. At a steady cruise, say your 60 mph, if you tap the brake the engine speed should rise slightly, and then come back down as the TCC re-engages. This condition can be intermittent, and it's more of a mechanical problem than an electrical one. The fix for a slipping TCC is to replace the torque converter and stator shaft seal, nothing more. You'd be out a little over a hundred bucks probably, and a few hours' labor, if you get one through a reputable transmission shop. I wouldn't buy anything but an OE-type replacement. You may even be able to get a Motorcraft/Ford replacement through a local dealership, but I've no clue how much their price would be..."

This code is generated when the person performing the KOER test fails to deactivate and reactivate the OD cancel switch at the end of the shift lever. It does NOT indicate a problem unless the switch WAS INDEED deactivated and reactivated and the code still came up. (Computer needs to know if the tranny is in OD or not)..."

This applies to all transmissions except the E40D transmission used in Ford trucks. The E40D change interval is 15,000 miles. Ford engineers stated that the intervals were reduced due to fluid degradation especially in humid climates. As you all know, the above-mentioned service intervals are for "normal driving" conditions, severe duty conditions (fleet, city driving, short trips, dusty conditions, hilly areas, towing, snowplowing) require more frequent service.

Kills Engine in Drive or Reverse; may be caused by a faulty VSS signal to the PCM. Observe the speedometer gauge or VSS signal on a scan tool. If the VSS display exceeds 90 MPH (may be higher on some models), the computer is programmed to stop pulsing the fuel injection. If this occurs at low speed or while idling, suspect a bad Speedometer Odometer Module.

When an expected signal value from a sensor is sent to the computer and is not within the computer's programmed specifications, "secondary" programs are activated by the computer to strive to protect the transmission from damage the improper sensor signal might cause to occur. In other words, the computer is always expecting certain signal values from certain sensors i.e. the temperature sensor, the speed sensor, the throttle position sensor, etc. As long as these signals are what it would normally expect for the conditions and is normal based on all the other signals it is receiving from other sensors, it acts normally and accordingly..." read more

Lock-Up Delay Solenoid; "...The E4OD and 4R100 units are programmed from the factory to apply lock-up immediately after the 1 – 2 shift. Many of the units on which Transtar customers work have logged 100,000 miles or more and the vehicles they are in are not generating the power they originally did. As a result, if the lock-up is applied immediately after the 1 – 2 shift, the vehicle will have difficulty pulling itself through the gear. The lock-up delay solenoid will set the lock-up timing back just enough to allow the engine to increase its torque output and allow the vehicle to continue adequate acceleration. The on board computer controlling the lock-up clutch in an E4OD or 4R100 unit issues the command that signals the converter to lock up. Several seconds later, the computer checks to see that lock-up has occurred. The time from the signal until the computer checks back is called "the window." (See blue area)..."

No Start Troubleshooting in a 90; "...First thing to check is wiring. Between the large posts of your starter relay (it's not a solenoid) should be a smaller post with a wire attached. This is the wire from your ignition switch that turns the starter over. Check this wire for cracks, open insulation, or anything that could possibly cause an open circuit. Next, check your upper ignition actuator. Find the ignition rod (on top of the column, running from the steering wheel down to the ignition switch at the base of the column) and make sure it's moving back and forth when you turn the key, through all positions. If it is, your upper actuator is probably not the problem. Lastly, check your ignition switch (again, at the base of the column). Manually push the switch back and forth through the different positions. Push it all the way forward (or down) and see if it will engage the starter. If it does, then your ignition rod is probably bent, which can be remedied quite easily. & If it's an auto, try starting in neutral or while pulling up on the lever while it's in park. If that works, look to a park/neutral safety switch. If it's a stick, check the clutch switch. You could try jumping from hot to the small terminal on the solenoid to test it's operation. Sometimes new ones are bad out of the box. ((MIESK5 EDIT) If it cranks while jumping across the 2 large terminals, the starter & large cables are good.) If it won't turn over when jumped to the small terminal, you'll know that it's a solenoid issue (Bad part, bad ground). If it does turns over jumped to the small terminal, then you'll be looking for something in the small circuit that includes the ignition switch & the park/neutral safety switch (Or clutch safety switch on a manual trans, or MLPS on a 90 with an E4OD). There should be 12v running from the ignition switch, thru the safety switch, to the small terminal on the solenoid. Disconnect the small wire to the solenoid (So it doesn't start by surprise, I'd pull the coil wire too). With someone holding the key in the start position, you should be able to read 12v between any point on that small circuit & ground. When you find where you lose 12v, then you'll know where the issue is..."

Shift Cable Adjustment for 92-96

Shift Improvement; Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid Circuit Modification; "...Basically, grab yourself one of these guys (nevermind the picture, just remember 50 ohms and 10W), a couple of Scotch-Locks and/or a couple of male spade connectors. Connect it between the Electronic Pressure Control Solenoid (EPC) line [White/Yellow] and the VPWR [RED? constant +12V] line. This isn't the right way of augmenting duty cycle for a solenoid, but it works, and it's pretty reliable. I'd suggest using a 100-ohm resistor instead of a 50-ohm if you've not made any improvements to the accumulator valve body yet...The resistor should be connected across the lines stated in post #6 in this thread. 100 ohms may be too high for some peoples' rigs, in which case you should a) try a lower value, and b) always verify the resistance of the resistor with a DVOM. Never trust the component just because it's new."

Shift Lever Stuck in Park (pic is gone); "...These (and many other) vehicles are equipped with a Brake/Shifter interlock for safety. This system requires the driver to hold the brake depressed before the shift lever can be moved from the Park position. There is an actuator (solenoid) on the left side of the steering column under the dash that disengages the shifter lock when the brake is depressed. In the event this system malfunctions, the shift lever may be stuck in the Park position. One cause of this complaint may be due to a faulty brake switch circuit. If you experience this complaint always check for blown fuses and brake light switch operation before proceeding with other work.

Sluggish or Harsh Shift & No DTCs Due to Faulty PSOM; "...This is how the system works. The Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM) receives a speed signal input from the Differential Speed Sensor (DSS) and uses a programmed conversion constant to convert the signal to the standard 8000 pulses per mile speed signal output. The speed signal output is proportional to the road speed of the vehicle. The Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module supplies this signal to all components that require vehicle speed information Including the Speed Control Amplifier, the Transmission Electronic Control Assembly (TECA) (with diesel engine), and the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Module (with gasoline engine). So it is possible for the PSOM to get a good signal and yet not send it out to one, or more, of the other speed signal users. If this is what they meant by a faulty cluster, then they are correct..."

Transgo Reprogramming Kit Info & pics in a 95: "...The Accumulator valve body is the piece to the left. When installing the Transgo reprogramming kit the Accumulator VB has to be removed, the calibration plate goes underneath it. You can see the solenoid pack at the bottom, it's a pain to remove.

Transmission Control Indicator Light (TCIL) Malfunction due to a faulty O/D Cancel Switch/ LED; Part #F58Z-7G550-A
Source: by ATC-Distribution Group Inc. atcdg.com via web.archive.org
Transmission Control Indicator Light (TCIL) Troubleshooting; "...This symptom could be caused by a couple of problems. One is the transmission is malfunctioning. The bulb in the switch at the end of the shifter is flaky. The wire that connects the OD switch/light at the end of the shifter is being worn at the column. Process of elimination. Codes to the computer and the light flashing in a "repetetive pattern" and consistent manner indicate a trani malfunction. A flashing OD light that is sporatic, has no pattern, is accompanied by a also sporatic OD engagement indicated that the wires are being worn and possibly shorted at the column. This is a common problem with these. The light flashing in a sporatic and sometimes on and sometimes off for longer periods indicated a bad switch at the end of the column. (my case) Hope it is one of the easier ones. (Switch light or wires at column)..."

Transmission Oil Temperature Sensor (TOT) Removal; "...It is located in da Pack between Converter Clutch Control (CCC) Solenoid & the Coast Clutch Solenoid. Once you remove the pan locate the sensor in the valve body and remove the electrical connector very carefully. The sensor is about the size of a pen cap. To remove the sensor carefully unlock the stop tab and twist it, pull down to remove it. It comes out before a full quarter turn is made. Put it back in the reverse order. When you get the sensor to come out be prepared to catch the trans fluid that follows behind it, you will get less than a quart out of it. It is located in da Pack between Converter Clutch Control (CCC) Solenoid & the Coast Clutch Solenoid. try the connections first. They are usually the root of the problem..."
