I am getting a code P0720 that says my OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT . I FOUND THIS BECAUSE MY TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIF AND SPEEDOMETER NOT RESDING. I also have the WRENCH in orange display. The other code is P0722 OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL the only thing I can find is to replace sensor aprox $40. I was able to go back to stock tube on my SCTx4 and wondering if the tune is possibly causing this. Anybody experience this if so what did you do to remedy? I am going to contact SCT today when they open. Thanks PK!

2 codes showing that the same sensor is bad, I’d just replace it. Instead of ******* around trying to contact the tuner who isn’t going to give two ***** anyway.

Have you had the leadframe TSB done?

I was getting same code and truck was in limp mode (5th gear only)

That TSB should be handled at no cost at any Ford dealership, I had to fight mine but also wasnt getting code initially, truck was just shifting really strange, once the code popped up they did it no questions asked.

TSB
13-6-8 6R80 TRANSMISSION HIGH GEAR ENGAGEMENT FROM A STOP - VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 4/8/2013

The wrench indictor and/or the seat belt minder may be illuminated, the speedometer reads zero and the odometer displays dashes while driving. Symptoms may clear after an ignition key cycle. Diagnostics trouble codes (DTCs) P0720 and P0722 may or may not be stored in the powertrain control module.

Are you sure about the no cost on TSB 13-4-9? Cause my 2013 screw just started doing the same thing. And it looks like the lead frame alone is around $400.00

Dealer repaired no cost and gave me loaner for the day. It seems to run fine now. I had my SCTx4 reprogrammed canned and custom tunes so far so good.

Here's the deal, my 2013 raptor has a recall which involves the transmission. And I have recently been having issues. I'm running a SCT tune on it and can't return it back to stock. I'm getting a 1027 code ( incorrect vehicle ). I've tried everything that's recommended but won't take. 5 Star tells me they can do the recall and won't effect the vehicle. Has anyone out there had the same issue? Need advice asap
