Date: 1996

Technical Bulletin # 355

Transmission:
E4OD

Subject:
Shifts 1-2-3 below 15mph

Application:
89-95 Ford 4WD pickup

E4OD
Shifts 1-2-3 Below 15 MPH

Pickups equipped with four-wheel-drive and a manually shifted transfer case may upshift to third gear before 15 mph while in two-wheel-drive. This may be caused by a false four-low signal at the controller. With the transfer case in two-wheel-drive and the engine running, check the voltage at controller pin 14 on 1994-95 7.3L





Turbo diesel or pin 12 on all other models. If the voltage is zero, check for a faulty transfer case switch (figure 1), or a damaged connector. Also check the operation of the dash bulb, and harness under the dash for being cut on dash panel brace.

NOTE:
Aluminum spacer washer must be in stalled between switch and case.
