i think i might have another solution. today it rained and the transmission worked properly i didnt notice any of the torque converter locking and unlocking so if i put a couple of 55 gallon drums of water in the bed of my truck along with a gas powered water pump and plumb in some shower heads above my truck all i have to do when i want to go some where is fire up the water pump so that i get water sprayed over my truck and it will fool the truck into cooperating with me because it will think it raining out side.

The cleaned battery terminals was your clue. The filter costs $39.

you might still want to look at this filter...I heard it helps a lot with the gear hunting also..

Funny, that is exactly what I did and it totally cured my problem saving me $500. I adjusted the sensor until it read .547vdc as labeled on the sensor, problem solved for me and no more locking and unlocking and hunting for gears. Also, the screws are not permanently attached, just loctited.

1. Disconnect both batteries.
2. Locate the APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor) on drivers side front of engine.
3. Remove plastic cover for easier access to the 6 pin connector.
4. Locate the ground (Black with Yellow tracer) wire pin # 4.
5. Cut this wire and splice a wire to the battery ground, then run another wire back from the battery to the
other end of the wire you cut at pin# 4. Do not wire tie this to the alternator harness below the TPS!
6. Reconnect batteries.
7. Now you need to re-learn the TPS, Turn the key to the run position, do not crank. Next depress
the accelerator pedal to the floor slowly and release, turn key off. You may start the engine.
Supplies needed, approximately. 5’ wire, 2 eyelets for battery ground and a butt splice connector.

Does APPS only apply to 24v models?
