My Sit is reading a code for this... where is it, what does it look like... how eazy / hard is it to replace it. What years are interchangeable (I have a 97). New one was like 2 - 300
It's on the wall of the transmission tunnel just to the right of the steering column under the dashboard. A new one will run you approx $10-20 at a junkyard. Just grab one from a 97+, I think most of them interchange, will check my parts catalogs shortly
My 96 (and all previous I believe?) had it on the panel where you say it is, wim - they moved it to where I listed it for the 97 model in 97. Easier to get at, but they put the screws in tighter Don't try and use the phillips head, go right for the ratchet and 10mm (I think) socket.
EDIT: looks like the 97 part number is 5602 7951; the 98 number is 5604 1386AA, the 99/00/01 number is 5604 1386AB (later revision of the same exact part as the 98.) I would bet a case of beer that the 99-01 will also work on a 98, and nearly as much that it'll work on a 97 as well.
If you find that you want to mess around with the TCU I can send you mine from my 98 for $10 plus shipping and you can mess with it I'm almost done ripping parts outta my 98 so it will be gone soon. if your interested let me know. I planned on pulling almost all the goodies out of the heep just to have TCU PCM CPS TPS all those are coming off as I should be able to use something as a spare for my new 4.0
I know I get an intermittant P0700 code thrown - once about every 2-3 days - won't shift on its own, have to manually shift. Starting to think it is the TPS as well.
