    10/4. It's stuck out in the field now stuck in drive. I had this problem a few years back with it was the x-y shifter. But yeah I'm thinking it's got to be a bad connection somewhere.

    On a side note this trailer we are pulling has the abs dash light on constantly. Any way possible this could be causing stuff to go hay wire? Long shot I know

    I found this in our service bulletins for that code, it is for loss of communication with the shifter pad and possible relearn sequence after a power loss. Try it. There are two different procedures depending what series you have. I think you should have an Ultrashift, but make sure first.

    ULTRASHIFT (NO CLUTCH PEDAL)

    1. With engine running, depress brake pedal.

    2. Select Drive on the push button and then select Low.

    3. Push the (+) button twice on the push button

    4. Verify "ST" shows on the display

    5. Wait for current gear to show

    6. Repeat process steps 3, 4, and 5 two more times

    7. Select Neutral

    8. Turn engine off, and wait for push button to power down (green light on push button will go out)

    9. Turn the key to the on position to verify no fault condition exists






    AUTOSHIFT (WITH CLUTCH PEDAL)

    1. With the engine running, depress the clutch and brake

    2. Select Drive on the push button and then select Low.

    3. Push the (+) button twice on the push button

    4. Verify "ST" shows on the display

    5. Wait for current gear to show

    6. Repeat process steps 3, 4, and 5 two more times

    7. Select Neutral

    8. Release the clutch and brake

    9. Turn engine off, and wait for push button to power down (green light on push button will go out)

    10. Turn the key to the on position to verify no fault condition exists

    Sorry for the long delay in replying. Truck went down for some other stuff. (Long story). But we cleaned every wire harness connection, every power and ground we could find including batteries again, all the starter leads and so on. But we obviously found the problem. It's ran several days straight and transmission is shifting out great and no warnings. Thank you Heavy couldn't have done it without you. Hope this helps someone else.
     
    QUALITYTRUCK and Heavyd Thank this.

    Reared it's head again yesterday. Lock outta gear and display code 37. Sat for an hour and worked. Took it to the yard. Any specifics that yall have seen that code point to? Saying power supply.

    Basic power supply problem. Check that transmission fuse and holder near the mega fuse, should be 30 amp. Check for burnt, melted or sloppy pins. Might be time to wire a new power and ground feed. Need to unplug the OEM connector at the trans controller and inspect the power and ground pins there. 36 is ground, 38 is battery power.
     
    BubbaCox Thanks this.
