97 HAS OBD2

in my case the throttle position sensor went out, replaced it and it shifts great now

CODE READER,.... Is Only $34.

Show us the part number that you have on the box. You can show us something you just put the parts in and you didn't tell us anything. What is the number?

My 1997 ford f250 won’t shift into 1st and I’ve repaired it bought everything to solenoid pack and it still dosent shift if someone could help me out I appreciate it

I have a 97 Ford f250 HD 4x4 it shifts either early or really late if I give it to much gas it jumps out of gear I replaced the sensor on the diff didn't make a diff

If you’re having shifting problems, could be a issue with the reverse side of the speedometer. Something goes wrong with the circuit board. It’s called the P-SOM For years I had shifting problems that would come and go without rhyme or reason. Nobody could figure it out. Tried many options but nothing helped. A shop knew exactly what is was. Opened up the cluster, pulled out the piece, swapped in a loaner and the problem was fixed. My part was sent to a shop in Georgia and they fixed the circuit board. Got it back, swapped it out and no problems ever since. Total I paid was just under a grand but things cost way more up here. The shop, in case you need to ask further questions: Quality Transmission, Dowling rd, Anchorage, ALASKA not to be confused with Quality Tune

Ok so whats the name of the part

video is spot on, just changed the speed sensor on my 97 F250HD and the problem with transmission lurching when it changed gears is finally resolved. Thank you

yep same problem and sure enough. no 3rd or 4th gear. I have a 1996 Ford F250 XLT Extended cab pickup truck. checked the VSS even though the speedo was working properly as was the odometer, Pulled the plug to the vss sprayed it with Brake parts vleanerl and all of the plugs on the transmission. Range sensor and the TCM header. Sprayed them down with brake parts cleaner plugged them back in, now it works perfectly. Mine is exactly like yours.

Thanks , my next step,

Hey man I have the same exact problem as you. My 7.3 97 isn’t shifting into 3rd. It’s gets to 3000 rpm and it won’t shift until I let off and ease into it. I just replaced my sensor and it still has the same issue. What could be my problem

My 97 f250 HD is actin up ,in & out of OD, i did led 3rd brake lite & taillites , what gets me is they were in there for months no probs. then it would act up , next time shift out normal , im not sure what to do called a recomemded shop known for good work , will diagnose for 50to 200 bucks , also said there was something ya could put inline to be able to keep the led's, If figure they have seen this with other F250's in thepast & know what is wrong but go thru the motions for the big bucks , sorry but thats the way i think , Education aint cheap i know ,Hopin someone can help me livin on a fixed income in these Inflated Times !! Thanks in Advance any & all advice is welcomed , please save the wise cracks though !!

How much is the code reader and would it be the same for the97 7.3 diesel

My truck my 1997 f250 5.8 liter was doing the same thing replaced what you replaced that sensor on the diff now it's fine thank you for that wonderful imformation

Thank you for this

My E4OD on my 7.3 diesel is working perfectly fine in reverse and shift 1-2 in drive but not to 3-4 replaced tach sensor cause the tach wasn’t working it’s working now and have adjusted idle. that didn’t fix it unfortunately. doing the solenoid in the trans today to see what happens. any other ideas before i become broke with a rebuild ??

I one just like yours except mine is the 7.3 2WD

Excellent info I am having long term, very similar issues with my 96 Bronco. I am learning these are common issues with the E40D's of this era. The brake light circuit provides signals to the computer that controls the torque converter, so malfunctions and mods like LED bulbs in that circuit can screw up your transmission. Hear me now and believe me later;) Third eye brake light is part of that circuit. Mine is melted and they are obsolete. There are a lot of issues caused by bad wiring, dirty connections with all of the transmission control wiring, and these trucks often go in mud. I think there is an external electric solenoid module that control the transmission on passenger side,, check the connections and function there. Also, catalytic converters from back then plug and get hot, and they bake the wiring and other components. Physically inspect and electrically test wiring runs to VSS etc. The harness can be damaged by heat or offroading. If I solve my issues I will post it up.

Okay, here is an update on the '97 F250 HD. I eventually killed the transmission on a hunting trip while stuck in deep mud. Definitely my fault. I ordered a new transmission and installed it (May 2019). It was a good install and I did a bunch of other things (starter, radiator, u-joints, battery, all fuses and relays, rear wheel seals, all new fluids, exhaust sensors, basically everything I had to disassemble for the install) and here are the results. I started getting the flashing indicator again along with hard shifting. Did some more reading and found that there are many things that can cause this issue. In my case I accidentally found that when the issue was active I could push the instrument cluster button (right side button that changes odometer from trip to total) and it would quit flashing and work just fine. So I disassembled the instrument cluster, cleaned all the contacts, pulled the goofy laminate interconnect film on the back of the inside panel and checked all electrical paths (didn't replace the switch behind the push button because I didn't see any ID on it) and the shift issue has worked much better. Still has the flashing and hard shifting issue occasionally but very much reduced, maybe once in 10-12 days of use. A button push fixes it, but it's just not quite right. In any case, I hope you can solve your issue with all the things that have been shared on this string.

Cool video thanks. I’d like to ad that I think you can get those codes without a reader. At least you can on a truck a few years older I think it’s the same. Look up koea (key on engine off) and koer (key on engine running). The truck flashes the engine light and you have to write down the codes. For instance 2 flashes pause 6 flashes pause 1 flash is a 261 code.

What tools are needed? 8mm socket, wrench and extension?

Cliff Notes? Did you/he get a VSS trouble code? Thanks.

why is a 1997 ford truck still obd1 in 1996 was the first year they was required to have obd2

I have a 94 with a 7.3 idi, and mine is on the passenger side of the engine

By the way I couldn't find a transmission modulator on the very same truck. Do you have one on yours? it's not where they say on the passenger side behind the tailstock of the tranny

Thousand likes.... finally somebody that knows something about his 97 F250 heavy duty thanks

Would this cause my truck to rev up when in gear? Wont move, just wants tk rev up a little bit. Trans gets rebuilt on Monday ( 2800$ ) so I think ill go pick one up and replace it before it goes in. Trans doesnt make no noises or smell bad on dipstick, was low on fluid but thats it. Pops in every gear just wont move.

Replaced the vss didn’t help :(

I'm on my 4th TCM for my 97 F350 diesel. At least i made it home this time

Do you happen to know the speed sensor part #? And thanks for the Info.

do you recall what size the bolt was, I bought a truck and the bolt for mine was missing.

Thank you sir! That was the beat fix for a problem I had two mechanics scratch their heads

that is such a cheap part though China has even started making it cheaper so I've had to buy two so far and less than 50, 000 miles

'97 Ford 250 4X4 5.8 LTR. The transmission problem I'm experiencing has been intermittent for about a year but lately has been relentless. It won't shift unless the engine RPMs are higher and then it hits hard. That's when the light on the colum starts blinking. The transmission goes into "Limp Mode." I was able to shut it off and restart it and it would go back to normal - or let it set for a day or so. This is no longer the case. Gonna replace the VSS and see if that solves the problem (god, I hope so!)

Thanks Chip I'm trying this fix today 96 f150 5.8 310k also will stall out when shifting into 3rd at high RPM

When you say it was shifting wierd, could you move your shifter but it just wouldn’t move? I can put it into gear and give it gas but it won’t go anywhere. The rpm will go up and everything. Is that the same problem you were having?

Do the 92s have them

Thanks for the video Chip. Wow, what percentage of time would you say you were riding on rocks? Seems like most of that place is that sort of terrain?

Thanks for the answers , that seems to have fixed my eratic shifting!!

If I’m correct this truck has two gas tanks?

got same truck and I replaced a lot idle control and tps and side mount solenoid and thermostat and temp sensor so I just changed fluid...also sprayed the carbons on flaps coated with carbon exhaust...did brakes and now getting front shocks to do front never did before but don't look that hard to do...then wanna do my full trans flush with new filter so my as well change speed sensor..dang sounds like a lot but then I don't have to worry bout that shit at all cause I did it..but truck is in good shape for a 1997 ford f250 no 4x4 though..the fuel regular was in good shape glad I checked it cause that hose was so brittle was broken off and not even connected..what I like about these trucks so easy to workon..I also changed alternator for a 95 amp one and new belts..so runs great purrs like a cat..i try and keep idle at about 5 to 6 below the 1 rpms...I did notice that my idle was going up and down and found my AC unit when off would kick on and off so when clicked on idle went up and when off went to normal so I just disconnected harness and that fixed problem..egr was replaced to...prob think I did stuff that didn't need replacing but over all doing all that givesme better gas mill cause these trucks 8 banger suck some gas for you guys that have this truck and know..i think there 18 gallon duel tanks I figured mine gets about 115 off a tank not the greatest..anyways that's my truck and love it best car or truck I ever owned ...but wanted to say that obd1 chip is using I got mine for 20 bucks at summit racing great deal...instead of counting how many blinks this tells you exactly what it is...connects to harness on side driver side....so buy a old truck you will love it.............1997...also if don't know where something is on engine you can goodle your engine size and pictures will come up of everything and where it is on truck I did enlarged it and printed it for later..

thats wierd so it was hard shifting did it like stall out slow take off too my tack went to zero also ?? had replaced this sensor may 6 months ago also maybe it bad but not sure

Does it require a ohv sticker and spark arrestor to ride..

after putting a speed sencer on a 1998 ford torious it is still wanting to jump when ever u put it into drive then start driving .what the next solution?

Yes it's a 4x4. Good luck!

That's nice to know" is your F250- 4x4 Because l'm having the same problem but mine is a 97-4x4 powerstroke
