Anybody?
Have had 3 incidents of the "Trans Program" warning at about about 6 week intervals. I'm getting concerned and looking for remedies. Have change the trans filter and added new oil.
Can someone explain why doing this:
Replace DME Relay and Fuel Pump Relay - not expensive.
will help?
I don't see the connection.
TIA
Jim
Anybody?
i think the DME relay controls a ground to the trans comp. (or maybe forward voltage)
a bad ground to the trans computer would cause the error.
if you havent replaced the fuel pump and ecu relay you should do it anyway.
Its about $20 per relay so I'll do it. Just wanted to know why.
Thanks
Had another "Trans Program" warning so ordered the relays. Like a sheep following the flock I replaced the 2 relays today . Hope that is the cure.
Still, I'd be interested to know definitely how/why these relays will help.
TIA
Jim

You have had experience with the "Trans Program" and the replacement of the relays?
I made several threads/posts about my "Trans Program" with limp mode problem. Tried several "fixes" but bottom line is I changed out the Pulse Generator ($40 from stealer) in the transmission (remove pan and it is right there, very easiy job) and no more "Trans Program"!!!
i was able to throw a trans program instantly today, by unplugging the shifter lock solenoid.
another place to look at before having a trans rebuild.
