Transmission harness did not fix the problem.
That's a bit of a bugger. Unless @ahart can think of a reason for replacing the harness "F" (143-3433) between the transmission and the ECM it appears as though the ECM is the culprit. As I said earlier it could be that the driver circuit for clutch #7 is failing but that is not what the -6 (connected) -5 (disconnected) Codes indicate.Transmission harness did not fix the problem.
Glad to hear that. Did you go the Reman or new route.?New ECM and she shifts just like she should.
I'll second that, especially based on the test results.Thanks for the update, definitely one of those I would have been nervous about putting an ECM on.
Agreed, I always assume that I must have missed something if I get down to the ECM being the problem. So we go through it all again, and again. Also on copying the old configuration files from old ECM to new ECM, cat doesn’t typically recommend using that feature, not so much on a failed driver as on a corrupt file, they say it’s likely that the old file could corrupt the new ECM. Was talking to the TC at cat a few weeks ago and now they’re recommending never downloading software from SIS over WiFi, they want it done over hardline only for the same reasons. Sure makes it hard on field service.
