I've had an ongoing problem with my trans acting funny for over a year. It comes and goes, and sadly, I've learned to deal with rather than take action to fix it.
Pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the TCC Lockup solenoid always being stuck ON/Locked, or at least that's what it definitely feels like. Always bogged down, shifts into higher gears too soon, very hesitant to unlock and downshift unless going WOT and often lurches violently when coming to a stop, sometimes until it stalls out and dies. I acts like someone driving a manual trans and never using the clutch.
I have a data cable and a laptop now, so I'd like to see if I can come up with any trouble codes in the next day or so. Since I've never used the cable for diagnostic work, are there any suggested programs or particular codes I should be looking for?
I'd rather try this route first before dropping the pan, cutting, splicing and throwing parts at it, just in case it's being caused by something else entirely.
Thanks in advance!
