ive got an 03 sierra 1500 4.8 4l60e

myobd2 reader is showing

torque converter clutch circuit/open

shift solenoid A and B electrical

shift timing solenoid

tcc pwm solenoid circuit electrical

trans was working fine, was doing routine fluid checks and seen trans was a little low so put about half a quart in (don't think I overfilled it and if I did it wasn't by much).

now it doesn't seem to have 1st gear, when I manually shift it I don't feel it shift from 1st to 2nd, I feel it shift from 2nd to 3rd and I don't feel it shift into 4th (55mph tach reads 3000rpm).

I put the scanner on it and got the above codes.

I haven't pulled the pan off yet to inspect the inside. (plan on doing that this weekend)

I did inspect the wiring on the out side and it seems fine.

what do you all think, did my wiring on the inside take a dump, or can one solenoid or whatever be effecting all the crap inside the trans. it seems to be just an electrical issue judging by the code reader.

thanks for the help and info.

The first thing to do is clear the codes and road test , the codes that come back are the ones to have diagnosed or throw parts at it , your choice

Haha my self personally have taken mine out 4 times and don't want to do it again. I put in new solenoids again so now I have to do is wiring harness.

update

I swapped all the solenoids and internal electric with a tranny I had laying around, still getting the same messages come up on code reader.

I had already inspected the external wiring, but I think im going to unhook it and pull it up thru the engine bay and give it a real good once over, and I bought a new speed sensor since I didn't have one on my donor tranny

I might even swap the neutral safety switch out too with my donor tranny

ill keep you up to date

I was up under the dash trying to figure out why my power door locks and horn don't work, the same day that these problems started.

I wouldn't think this has anything to do with it but who knows

Why don't you get alldata and actually follow the code instead of doing really dumb chasing ghosts and wildly guessing ???

 

You don't know what you're doing,,,

 

I'm out , do what you want , I'm done

I appreciate what help you do give

I wont pay for alldata (I think the lowest is 50 a month) ive got a family to support and I think that money is best used else where and I doubt I would use it that much to justify spending that money (this is after all only a hobby for me)

what you call really dumb ghost chasing, I call back yard mechanicing on a budget (after all I all ready had the parts laying around, so free to me, only cost me my time)

your right I don't know what im doing, I don't know trannys, the most ive ever done with a tranny is swap it or change oil in it. but this is why I went to the forum, to get some tips and guidance on the subject, if there were any other problem with the truck I probably wouldn't need help.

ive noticed you've said the "im out, do what you want, im done" quote or something similar on other posts, if this gives you so much grief then why even comment on here, why call somebody dumb or stupid, seems counter productive.

 

people join a car forum for advice or to help or to show off their accomplishments that they've done on their cars, some people have a wealth of knowledge, some are beginners, and some are in between, some do this type thing for a living and some as a hobby, some have loads of money to fix their car and some will have to do without for the month to get theirs fixed.

 

I really appreciate anyone help on here and im sure others do as well, it makes me happy if I can help someone with their car and help them save some money

cars are not like they used to be, everything's electric, ran by computer so its a lot harder to diagnose things, when my dad was in high school they had an automotive class, taught you the basics. nowadays people are scared to even try, which is sad, nothing better than fixing it yourself, that's why ill always help when asked.

 

sorry for the rant folks, have a good day, ill keep you posted on the next stupid ghost chasing endeavor with my transmission, lol

Chris thank you for clarifying that with me, I went back to the alldata site, I was looking at the professional one, I didn't notice a diy one. I ended up purchasing that one for the $27, very reasonable.

upon looking at the trouble shooting page it seems to be in the wiring, which is what I was going after in the first place.

 

again thanks Chris for that info, if it weren't for your post I wouldn't have double checked, much appreciated

well, figured it out, I started following the alldata steps and realized I had changed the starter ignition switch when all the problems started, so I put the original one back on and it fixed the tranny problems

thanks for the help

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
