97 Yukon Tranny issue after dash swap


Recommended Posts

Posted
Hi All. I have a 97 GMC Yukon I just acquired. I replaced the dash pad this weekend as old one rotted & broken into 4 separate pieces. The only electronic I swapped was the power steering module. All others & wiring remained the same. Current symptoms are:

- Hard engagement when shifted in gear at park, PND321 all engage/disengage correctly when moving column shifter)

- in drive get very little fwd movement, lack of power(tranny in high gear??)

- reverse seems good/has power, does engage hardas well


I'm now getting the following codes:

P0740 - torque converter/clutch ckt open

P0753 -shift solenoid “A” electrical

P0785 - shift timing solenoid “A"

P1860 - TCC PWM Solenoid Circuit Electrical


I've validated 12v passing through fuses & also have 11.9v at pink wire(E) on tranny plug.


Anyone have ideas or additional testing I should do?

Thank you.

Update....
I pulled dash out, cleared ECM and it ran normally. I inspected wiring & connectors but found no visible problems. I re taped the harness, especially where it splits or Y's when it comes out of firewall. I did notice a tight fit at the Y where harness fits into a metal raceway. I suspect wire(s) were being pulled there or at the ECM plug as it's a tight fit. The bad part is dash pad cracked by windshield...arrrg.

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
