OD off light flashing

PHXGT06 · June 10th, 2009, 03:00 PM

1st post here. Have been ghosting on this site for 6-8 months now. Wanted to know if anyone had any insight into a problem I'm having.

First off I have a 2006 mustang GT auto convertible. I recently had the following mods performed: CAI, FRPP shorties, x-pipe, FRPP GT exhaust, FRPP high lift hot rod cams, FRPP 3.73 gears, and a custom dyno tune.

I drove around and played with the car for a while. The got a OD off flashing warning light. Then got a horrible sounding shift as i was pulling into my neighborhood. Babied it into the dealership the next morning and they replaced the tranny solenoid body. Got it back and drove it for about 3 weeks with no issues. I pulled into work this morning and got a OD off flashing warning light again. The dyno sheet numbers were 390/460 which were plotted against MPH (never seen anything like it.) I also can't believe the numbers are legit with the tunes.

Any info or insight would be apprieciated.

Thx,

I think its either the tune or something not installed right.

Lol which narrows it down to, well, everything described...lol

BuRnIn_YoUrS · June 10th, 2009, 03:51 PM

i would agree on the tune end since it seems to be an electrical problem.

06RedfireGT · June 10th, 2009, 05:56 PM

I would think hot rod cams would be a little aggressive for 3.73s and a stock converter.

PHXGT06 · June 11th, 2009, 06:29 PM

Talked to the tuner at AZ dyno chip. He was very cool about it and he wants to look at it. He seems to have a good idea on what is going on. He went in depth on the phone (lost me for a while ) about how the 5R55S shifts and speculated that it might be doing a hard downshift. Going in next Tuesday. If I learn anything, I'll post it.

The dyno numbers are also incorrect (390/460). He said those were based on peak values at shift points. I should get the correct file on Tuesday as well.

we need to plan a phoenix meet or something...for reals...let us know how it goes

I'm curious what issue this setup might cause. What are your thoughts?

PHXGT06 · June 13th, 2009, 01:35 PM

Had issues with the mustang last night. Exited the freeway, made a right hand turn after sitting at the light. Car had very little acceleration and the maintenance light came on. Same thing happened two weeks ago which is why i took it into the dealer resulting in the solenoid body being replaced. No crunchy shifts this time though. I believe it was in "safe mode". Got home and parked it for a while. Took it out and accelerated through most of the gears a couple of times with no issues. SCT tuner didn't read any codes. Still waiting for Tuesday.

PHXGT06 · June 18th, 2009, 03:29 PM

went to the tuner on tuesday. the car isn't throwing any codes right now so he doesn't have much to work with. He gave me a tune with a new shift schedule. I loaded it and tried it that night but got the service light and safe mode again. Seems to happen after I exit a freeway. Mabye its operator error

AzSonicSnake · June 18th, 2009, 03:44 PM

hmmm. keith is a master at tuning pushrod cars, but i just dunno on the newer stuff. devin at PSR tuned mine and its been absolutly perfect.

BuRnIn_YoUrS · June 18th, 2009, 03:45 PM

yeah...he tuned mine too...well, in my dream when i had stuff to tune he did.

PHXGT06 · June 19th, 2009, 07:06 PM

i'm starting to wonder if driving style has something to do with it. Keith at ADC knowledge on the car was pretty impressive. The issue is hit or miss. Sometimes i can beat on the car with no problems. Other times I cruise the freeway, mabye a couple good accelerations, cruise the offramp and get the service light safe mode special.
