Why my transmission want shift in to overdrive
Hi!
For about 4 months ago the "check engine" light came on.
To try and get some info I bought a scanner that was supposed to handle my OBD-system.
It didnīt show anything and I made a reset and in that case the run like crap.
When it finally came around I learned that if I cranc the engine and donīt have the AC on I get a "check engine" message.
I donīt know why but I almost always use the AC so ......
I have also tried a few more advanced scanner programs that a friend of mine has but they fail to connect with the vehicle.
Thinking of buying some PC-based scanner tool but havent decided wich one yet.
I canīt remember clearly if I had vibrations before this problem occurred but I bonīt think so.
Yes, it shakes a little at 70 - 75 mph but itīs a truck, slightly higher and wider than standard and it has two extra leafsprings/side at the back
so it is fairly stiff.
Kind regards//

Do the parts stores in your area have scanners you can try and read codes with?
Most of the PC-based software I have seen, isn't really useful...... unless you spend a couple hundred bucks on it......

Hi!
Yes, i bought a handheld scanner that was supposed to work....
Either it didnīt or there are no codes.
I just called a former colleague that has opend up his own shop.
He has one of those expensive PC-based scanners and he will lend it to me, I have used that one before
on my BMW and it fairly easy to use.
Iīm going ther in a few hours and will hope for the best, that it might tell me something about the transmission.

Are you thinking you'd like to get this looked at by the dealer? Send me a direct message with your VIN if so as I'd be glad to help with that process.
