Code P0720 , limp mode , shifting problems

Hello from Germany,

Just sometimes your Truck does only shift in and ride in 1. or 3. or 5. gear?
You drive in limp mode, and all numbers and graphs in the dash go -----
When you stop and restart the engine it often solves the problem?
Mainly occurs when the transmission is cold .
No trouble code or wrench light yet?

After 12 month of dealing with this and around 2500 euros diagnostic and work cost, new software , new PCM .....i finally got the code p0720 some weeks ago
"Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit Fault"

My dealer installed the new parts which included removal of the oil pan an shifter housing.
And finally it seems to have solved the problem . Till now.

Any problems that kind ? I would be very happy to help, just write.

X

Maybe this will help?
