2004 Sprinter out on a tour-
1. Fell out of gear entirely at stop light.
2. Restarted the ignition and in trans limp mode, 2nd gear only
3. Band took it to a shop, shop cleared the codes and got it out limp mode but said it slipped between 2nd and 3rd. I talked to the shop and they said the transmission was bad. I disagreed because they pulled speed sensor and gear ratio codes and asked them to pull the pan and check/replace the conductor plate. They refused and said the only option was to replace the transmission for a used one. In order to keep the tour going I agreed only if they gave me the old transmission as well. They replaced the transmission with a used one.
4. Van drove for 5 more days, a few thousand miles and went into limp mode again.
5. Shop took it out of limp mode and said it was a wiring issue of some sort.
Here are the codes they pulled-
1. P220A - n2-n3 speed sensor mismatch
2. P2502- transmission slipping
3. P2103 - 2-3 solenoid cirucit
4. P2228-001 - transmission ratio
5. P2225-001 - speed sensor voltage fault present
6. P2219-001 - 2-3 solenoid fault
7. P1926 - can communication with other control units not possible faulty ECM, ECM harness open shorted ECM circuit, poor electrical connection
To my knowledge the shop didn't transfer any electric components from one transmission to the other. They just took one down and put the other up.
I don't have the van back yet, it will be here early next week so I can get started fixing it. I did ask if the band spilled anything under the driver seat, they claim they did not. Recommendations appreciated!
