Output speed sensor fooler?
I'm in the process of doing a tranny swap...
It's a 2000 R/T 360, auto, 2wd, and a 1999 Sport 318, Manual, 4wd.
Whats it ending up as, 2000 360, auto ECU, frame, drivetrain... 1999 cab, 4wd, manual tranny.
So far I've solved all but 1 problem for fooling the auto ecu into thinking its got some sort of tranny on it. I wired in ceramic resistors to simulate the coils in the sensors and solenoids. No solenoid sensor codes anymore. The P/N situation has been fixed with relays.
The other problem I have is the Output Speeed Sensor. It's not throwing a code, however, the truck seems to be in limp mode. All through 1st gear and part of the way through 2nd gear it has little power and gets up in RPMs slowly. Once it hits about 30 mph it regains full power and friggin flies.
Like I said, no codes or pending codes yet, but I know if there is an Output Speed Sensor problem it will go into limp mode. So... I was wondering if anyone here knows if the crank sensor or an ABS sensor throws out a similiar enough signal to fool the ECU.
Has anyone ever dropped an oscilliscope on these sensors or something similiat to detect signals? If need be I'd have no issue building a signal multiplier or divider to use a different signal to feed the ECU.
Any ideas?
Anyone around Baltimore, MD that would let me hook up a scope to your sensors?
Any help would be great, thx.
