Hi I would just like to ask the member if they have had the same problem as I have. I have had my gearbox recondition for £1500 and after 850 miles, warning light came on. I have taking the car back to the garage to check over the gearbox codes. The gearbox is fine and has pass their check. BUT they have code that the "CTM / ECU" at fault for the warning light showing. The garage have said that they are having problem finding replacement of the CTM / ECU for my car because of its age (2002). Yes I know I have paid more for the recon then what the car is worth. Just like to ask if anyone have had this issue and any helpful hits over come on going issue, Thanks for reading, Stay safe and take care everyone Paul.

 

Do you happen to know the number of that fault code?

 

Hi Thanks for your reply I dont have the code number that is showing now. But when I got the box recond the faults code at that time are as follows Failed 4F27e Error f

 

Hi Thanks for your reply I don't have the code number that is showing now. But when I got the box recondition the faults code at that time are as follows Failed 4F27e Error Fault Codes are as follows P1246 / P0771 / P0771 / P1746 / P0731 / P0732. Just thought I would ask the if they had this fault and what they did to over come the fault. The garage have said the they can get the part from ford at a cost of £2000. I don't want to put this sort of money as the £1.500 is more then the car is worth to start with. I was hoping that this amount of money would have sorted all the problems that I had. Not to worry. Any advice would be welcome to go back to the garage with as the car has only done 850 miles after the repair. The Garage have said the fault if with the CTM / ECU and not the gearbox?

 

P1246 is not a gearbox problem. That code refers to the generator.

P1746
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when with the engine running in gear at cruise speed and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) circuit was shorted to ground.

The P0731 code occurs when the PCM detects a discrepancy between the speeds of first gear's input RPM sensor and transmission output RPM sensor. As a result, the vehicle cannot shift into first gear, and it could indicate that the transmission is slipping.
P0732 is similar to P0731 except this is for second gear.

P0771 - Shift Solenoid E Performance / Stuck Off

I am not convinced that the Automatic Transmission Control Module is faulty. Who will pay for the Automatic Transmission Control Module when it is not the cure?
Besides fitting a new one, electronic control modules can be repaired - maybe not in all cases, but I would try that first if the ATM is really faulty (which is a big IF in my opinion).

 

Thanks Oldford for your help and advice with this problem. I know I have paid more then the car is worth, BUT I have had her for so long I did not what to get another at the FRIST sign of trouble. I was hoping that the gearbox bill was the end of the problem and not the start (or continuation of it) not to worry WE all learn. Thanks for your time and help. YOU take care and stay safe Paul.
