Windstar V6-3.8L VIN 4 (1997)
3. Attach the TR/MLP sensor overlay to the transmission tester.
Affixing the overlay will immobilize the two-way switch (set in Step 2) so it cannot be accidentally moved to an incorrect setting during testing.
4. Select and connect interface cable B to tester and then to TR connector.
Use the transmission tester extender cable when running tests with the transaxle on the vehicle.
5. Turn large dial to TR/MLP SENSOR TEST.
CAUTION: Route all cables away from heat sources to prevent damage to cables during testing.
Transmission Range (TR) Sensor Interface Cable B
6. Plug transmission tester power cable into cigar lighter socket.
All LEDs should light for a short period and then turn off. This is the tester's internal circuit check.
Static testing procedures allow for shop testing of the TR sensor on the vehicle or on the bench. Completion of these tests prove out the TR sensor
electronically.
CAUTION: For resistance checks be sure that the large dial is set to TR/MLP SENSOR TEST or damage to the ohmmeter could result.
Disconnecting the Tester
1. Disconnect transmission tester from transaxle connector.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to pry off connectors with a screwdriver. This will damage the connector and could result in a transaxle concern.
