Keeps going into fail safe mode
Can any one offer some advice on my 1991 2.4 SSR Auto box problem?
Sympoms: Intermitent problem of the gearbox going into fail safe and only limping along as if trying to pull away in second gear, eventually as engine speed picks up reasonable speed can be achieved. Also no kick down and switching between 3rd and 4th gear and back again when accelerating.
Things tried so far: Fluid level check. New fuel filters. Solonoids under sump removed cleaned and checked by garage. Throttle switch replaced.
Things which confuse me: Diagnostics show an error code 11 which my searches show up as a switch error but what the hell does that mean?
Problem is also intermitent, although getting more and more frequent. Sometimes she drives fine and then all of a sudden no power to pull away! O/D Off light flashes when the problem occurs and always shows the same error code up.
Then only things which have been touched are a new switch for the big yellow accessory front lights on bull bar and a radio has been installed using the correct factory fitted plug. The speedo did stop working once on the motorway but has been fine since. A new radiator has been fitted and I need a new water pump soon as it is also leaking. Finally the Handbrake warning light came on all by itself whilst driving again on the motorway. I dont know if these are anything to do with the problem but I thought all the info might provide some clues.
Before you say anything I know Mud is better than tarmac but needs must occaisionally. I would love to get to the bottom of this as apart from this problem the truck is beautiful. Can anyone help???
