    My 4L80E trouble codes

    What is a safe speed range for the 400A? I read the non load limit of the engine is 4000rpm. Am I correct that there is no rev limiter? Does the pedal contact on the floor board protect against most over-reving?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    My old one was: https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/SENSOR-THROTTLE-POSITION-TPS-HMMWV-SERPENTINE_p_16057.html I think the turbo 6.5 and NA 6.5L are different sensors?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Thanks. M1151A1. Yes my alt is the size of a small garbage can, the 400A. So the tach figures out the engine RPMs via the alternator belt speed? Cool. I ordered the TPS from "globalsourcewd" on eBay.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    It must have moved a bit and I get slightly different readings but just now I am getting 0.62 V idle and 4.24 WOT. It appears to increase voltage smoothly. It is a new sensor, but I was told there are "new" defective Chinese junk being sold (I won't name the companies mentioned). The way it is...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I loosened the TPS mount bolts and rotated it back (i.e. more upright) and now getting .55V. So "proof of concept". Will need to re-remove air intake to turbo to get better access to those bolts. Fingers crossed it will work!!!??

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Peeled back some insulation on the middle wire. Getting 1.2V instead of .5 (engine off, pedal not depressed). If I loosen the two mounting bolts I should be able to have back and forth play and move it until I get .5 idle and then just verify it smoothly transitions up to 4.5 when pedal...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I spoke with a guy at Black Dog Customs and he said the TPS is sensitive and it needs to be .50 V not even .51. Will check [hopefully] tomorrow.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Yes. No codes. Yes. After cleaning connection I got 5V reference. Ground is good. For clarity, I have NOT checked the variable voltage since cleaning the sensor connection. When I checked it prior I only did it in the idle position and it was below, about the same low voltage as the ref which...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Thanks. I have that page. I will formally test that middle wire on the TPS with my wife pressing the accelerator. I know you can move it by hand under the hood, but since I was holding the probe and ground I didn't have a free handle. I was working alone.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I called the guy that rebuilt the transmission. He agreed the torque converter must not be locking. He said the converter lock is good for about an 800 rpm drop. I asked if he had a scanner that plugged into the transmission directly and he said he did not have one, but they had one at the shop...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I think the brake lights will just stay on if I did this. Can anyone confirm if one side is lights and one for the torque converter? If I knew which I could just unplug the TC side and it would help it lock in 3rd and 4th gear? I may be way off here.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Can I just unplug these two wires? One is for TC lock signal and one for the brake lights?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Thanks for brake switch idea. Can anyone explain why it shifts well (still high RPMs at high speeds) with the TPS sensor wire unplugged and then goes into limp mode when I plug it back in? With a new TPS and no codes? Got 5V ref on sensor wire and continuity to ground after cleaning it. My...

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    Mogman, do you think the torque converter not locking in 3rd and 4th gear would cause the high RPMs? I have no reason to believe the transfer case or differentials are bad. The engine power is not getting to the wheels as it should!

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I was going about to do that before you posted. Just cycling 12... uh

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I will recheck for error codes. Going to call a guy Monday that I have heard had a scanner that fit an H1. Seems like a scanner for the transmission could allow manual shifting and help diagnosis a bad TCM.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    It was very tricky (the bolts were very difficult to access) but got a new TPS installed today!! With the TPS sensor wire unplugged it has been shifting fairly well but still runs high RPMS in the upper gears. 60mph is about the practical limit now and I'm running 3200rpm there. 800rpm at idle...

    What is this TPS setting harness about? https://blackdogcustoms.com/product/tps-setting-harness/ Will I need to calibrate or adjust a new sensor?

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I just ordered a new TPS. Are you referencing the Tech 2 scan tool? Where does it plug in? (unlikely to have a J1?)

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I did get $50 (policy limit) reimbursed from the insurance company for the tow. Helps.
