Put the rear up on jackstands, put it in drive, and back probe C1 pin 8 at the PCM, and see what you are getting. BE CAREFUL. Have a friend to help..... (safer that way.)
I would hook it up to a scanner that displays the speed the pcm thinks your doing... that way you can determine if your failure is before or after the pcm...
A $20 elm327 adapter from ebay and an/ or Bluetooth phone or laptop can be used if you dont have any type of scanner now... I use one with my android phone and an app called "torque"...
I have a scanner that displays live data. It spits out a code P0500 and the scanner feedback says the truck is not moving. Can someone tell me which is c1, pin 8? I'm fixing to jack it up..
Gah, I KNOW the 'correct' values are somewhere in the service manual, for, for the life of me, I don't seem to be able to come up with them at the moment.
Current findings:
In first gear, plugged voltmeter into RWAL sensor, no deviation in resistance. Had a friend turn the tire very slowly to check again, still nothing. Showing wery little resistance. Thoughts?
