I’m having a bit of a problem and I’m wondering if it is Trans+ related.
Yesterday while I was merging onto the hwy, the car backfired and threw a code 42. I pulled over and found that the up pipe had been blown off. I tightened it back down and cleared the ECM but within a few seconds the code came back again.
Today I went through the usual checks and found no shorts or broken wires from the Ignition module to ECM, and went over all the Trans+ connections.
Just before I began all the Tan and white wire voltage tests, I decided to disconnected the EST signal to the Trans and put in the pigtail… The code went away, plug it back into the Trans and it throws the code.
Anybody ever have a similar experience? Is it possible that something has gone wrong with the unit?
I am running jumpered right now and in open loop idle, but almost all the BLM cells run down around 100.
Also, could the backfire have killed the MAF, (LT1 mounted in the up pipe) and is there any way I can check it with a DVM?
