A/T - Third Gear Limp-in Condition
TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 193TRANSMISSION: KM175 Series
SUBJECT: Starts in wrong gear

Third Gear Starts
A third gear (limp-in) condition after rebuild can be caused by pulse generator A and B installed in the incorrect location.
Pulse generator A has solid green wires leading to it. Pulse generator B has green wires with a black tracer. THE PULSE GENERATOR LOCATION CLOSEST TO THE BELL HOUSING SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A GENERATOR WITH SOLID GREEN WIRES REGARDLESS OF THE LENGTH OF THE WIRES. The length of the wires can vary from model to model. Do not install generators by wire length.
It's also possible, on earlier units, to accidently get the pulse generator harness connector and the Mass Air Flow sensor harness connectors cross-connected. If this happens, one harness will appear to be a little bit too short, and have to be pulled a bit to be connected. This will also result in limp in, with stored pulse generator trouble codes.
NOTE:
On some vehicles it is possible to cross-connect the solenoid connector and pulse generator plugs, also resulting in limp-in.
