dependable dirt Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 I have been searching and searching for the problem on this truck it's a 96 ch e7 454, throws blink code 4-2 I changed the speed sensor , didn't help at all. I have no tach no speedometer, but if I start truck and pull seedo circuit breaker the light goes out and stays off but I have not been able to test drive to see if it got the power back .. only gets about 15 psi boost and the boost needle shudders to get that . It runs fine no miss or anything just no top end power Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551496 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sensor, is there a chance that this truck does not have a torque limit switch Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dependable dirt Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 I am not sure how to attack the speed sensor as I have traced wire up to where it meets main harness no issues, can the 4-2 blink code cause derate. I have dash and kick panel removed I can see most of the wiring but it is still bundled tight. I have not started cutting all the zip tie and investigated every wire Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Do you have a duetch plug on the back of the injection pump? Another way to tell, is when you turn the engine off, does all of the dash power turn of instantly, or is there a 7 second delay? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551690 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dependable dirt Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Thank you. I didn't see much on the speed sensor. I couldn't find a tourque limit switch on this truck so I am leaning to 4-2 code being culprit, I have no tach and no speedometer working on dash. I replaced speed sensor and it did not work . So I am hunting for a wire short with the speed sensor I checked the back of dash cluster not visible issues there Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 remove the speed sensor and see if its cracked. when you put it back in, go all the way in lightly touching the tone ring, then back it out 1 full turn. ohm the sensor and post the reading. I will check it in the book, im busy, so I may be slow to respond..

Its relatively easy to get the floor out why not pull and trace that section anyway! pull the hatch Lots of room to look then long as there's not controls bolted to it! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74143-tourqe-limit-switch/#findComment-551739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
