Fail Safe Mode?
I had a remote starter installed today. When they picked up my truck it ran perfect. When they dropped it off the overdrive light was flashing, the truck feels like it's starting in 3rd gear, and I have 4 trouble codes in my HyperPac all transmision related. The jack-off that delivered it to me said that it feels kind of sluggish. He said that sometimes when you put big tires on big heavy trucks they get a little sluggish. I had to refrain from kicking him in the teeth!
I left the truck at work to avoid driving it. They said they'll come pick it up tomorrow and try to figure it out. Should I let them drive it back to their shop? Is it in limp mode? What do I do? |

I would have the place check the wiring. Definitely sounds like they failed to hook up the 2nd or 3rd ignition which powers the transmission. The only other thing you might try is disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes and then try starting it with out using the remote start. If that doesn't fix the problem, they could have damaged the ECU or might have just pulled something loose.

They came to pick it up at work this morning. Sounds like they forgot to hook up some wires to power the tranny. I'm a little concerned about them driving it from their shop last night. It's about 10 miles uphill. I'm worried that after they hook up the wires and the tranny starts working again, that I'm going to have problems with it. Would driving it up here with the trans in 3rd gear cause any damage to the torque converter? I would imagine they had to throttle it pretty hard to get it up the hill. ???? I feel like my child was just raped!!!

You can probably damage your TC shaft seals, because the solenoid body is not regulating the correct pressure and you might end with to much pressure inside the TC, check if you have any tranny leaks cause by over pressure. It happened to me and I end up replacing the solenoid body’ lucky for me I didn’t damage the shaft seal.
