Some/All Shifts Missing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The pressure switches listed in this routine will not be applicable to all vehicle applications. Some vehicles will not have the pressure switches installed in the valve body.

DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINES - SOME/ALL SHIFTS MISSING

Possible Component	Reference/Action
210 - ROUTINE
Powertrain Control System
PCM, vehicle wiring harnesses, transmission internal harness, shift pressure control solenoids SSPC-A, SSPC-B, SSPC-C, SSPC-D, SSPC-E, Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, line pressure control solenoids PC-A, transmission pressure switches PS-A, PS-B, PS-C, PS-D, PS-E, (if equipped) TSS/Intermediate shaft speed sensor, Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor, Transmission Range (TR-P) sensor, Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor	Carry out on-board diagnostic tests. See INTRODUCTION - GASOLINE article or INTRODUCTION -- 6.0L DIESEL article for diagnosis and testing of the PCM.
	GO to PINPOINT TEST A , GO to PINPOINT TEST B , GO to PINPOINT TEST C , GO to PINPOINT TEST D , GO to PINPOINT TEST E .
	Repair as necessary. Clear DTCs, road test and rerun on-board diagnostic test.
Some Shifts Missing Only
	If only some shifts are missing, determine which shift(s) do not occur. Use the Band, Clutch, Solenoid, Switch Application Chart and monitor the appropriate PIDs. Refer to SPECIAL TESTING PROCEDURES .
Fluid
Incorrect level	Adjust fluid to correct level. Refer to PRELIMINARY INSPECTION .
Incorrect Pressures
High/low pressures	Check pressure at line tap.
	Carry out Line Pressure Test. Refer to SPECIAL TESTING PROCEDURES .
