Okay,
so I have 2006 long and tall sprinter with 162,000 hwy mile on it. Just replaced the transmission last week with one from silver star in Norman, OK. I put 500 miles on it last week after the install and the trans was good but did have the RSN
Just did 1000 miles; and half coming back was in the limp mode. So with my DAD system I read the code on sprinter and get a P2511 Left EGS Positioner...thats it for codes. So now I'm thinking some sort of EGR code. And when I search this forum I see a ton about this code and how it is a EGR code.
So while I'm on the road I get out my "Complete Sprinter Fault Code Guide Volume 1 2000-2006" North American Edition by Eric J Ord and the P2511 code is a and I qoute
" Torque converter lockup clutch has excessive power consumption"
But if I look up the code without the p and just 2511 I see a "Exhaust gas recirulation positoner"
Anyhow I find it weird on this forum that most if not all theads with the p2511 are all EGR codes. Is my book wrong? I was thinking that my transmission was the trouble because I replaced it last week and the code I read but as I search around everyone is talking EGR stuff.
I'm sure I left more questions than ansewers as I am far from a mechanic. But I carry the DAD on the road with me so I don't get hosed by a dealership if I'm broke down in there shop.
I think my books wrong but I did just put in the remaned transmission??? What gives?
Got home in the dark and have not looked under the hood to see what I see
Thanks in advance
