I have suffered a similar problem in the past, but with my F-350 and a different transmission. I found the problem to be a blown fuse. I would recommend checking here first. It could also be a power supply to the transmission not being connected. As far as the scanner If you merely want to reset your computer just disconnect the battery for about ten minutes. In my limited transmission experience I find a flashing OD light to mean a power supply fault.

I hope this helps.

Not VSS , TSS turbine speed sensor. Is internal to trans. Check the wiring harness on top of the trans and to the PCM. You wanna really check things out , pull the pan off and at the bulk head connector there is a small 2 terminal connector, that is for the TSS. Check it with an ohm meter.

Also depends on what year tranny you put in as they did away with one of the tss sensors for the OD drum in 1997 and up models.

well i know it is a newer one i do have one sensor on the top of the tranny kind of down on drivers side that i didnt have a plug for the explorer is a 96 if the tranny i have dose not have it on the od drum would i be able to remove the wires from the bulk head plug and use the one in the tranny that i didnt have a plug for is that what this sensor is for?

 

[jjr3211]

well i got to get it apart and the tss was unpluged at bulk head conector on in side of tranny have no idea why but no codes now but i think i have the 2-3 shift flair what is the best way to fix this

What does this mean? I got a 97 with a p0715 as well. If they did away with the sensor on 97s why am I getting the code?
