Default FLP level4 and SS3800 in! Got an SES!

Drove it for about 10 minutes, everything was fine, then I get an SES.
After the SES tripped, I had no overdrive or converter lock-up.

Scanned it with EASE and it was PO757..2-3 shift solenoid stuck on.

What do you guys think, bad solenoid? Came unplugged? Any ideas? Is it in the valve body accessible by removing the pan?

Thanks.

Maybe unplugged or a bad
If you turn off the truck and start it back up again does it go back to normal ?
Clear it and see if it comes back
I've had my issues with the solenoids gettin stuck open

This code is normal with that loose of a converter. I get the code about once every 3 to 5 weeks, so does my buddy. Clear the code and forget it. It will disable 1st and 4th gear, as well as the TCC. I finally got smart and deleted the code with my LS1 Edit.
I think it happens when the transmission is shifting and I let off of the throttle. It is hard to tell. Enjoy the converter.

That makes me feel so much better!!
Also the fact that it disables 1st gear. I was thinking, man this converter is loose!

I'll be deleting the code right away

Thanks Stupidfast

If it werent for this board, and members, I would've been calling FLP tomorrow, or dropping the pan inspecting the shift solenoids.

Hey BLack,
give us a report on your new setup. I am saving up right now for a tranny and converter. I am starting to think that this is the only option for the procharger. Launches are a joke!!

If it weren't for this board .. I would probably have about 7-9 grand still burning a hole in my pocket still. Wouldn't have near the knowledge or fun driving around though ..

I'll agree .. the knowledge on this board is unbeatable!

Okay, reset the code and turned it off with edit, everything works perfectly now. Stupidfast, YOU DA MAN!

As for impressions of the converter and trans, I'll start a new thread.
