You know, no where else on the web do I think you find all of this information and experience. Un-real.

Kudos guys.

DeeeMagnet,
Thanks for taking your time to put this together for us. This weekend I'm going to play around with this.
Peace.

Thanks Deer Mag...if there is a better example of why people should not think twice about a yearly donation to keep this site flush with operating capital, I can't imagine what it would be.:thumbup:

The potential to $ave hundred$, if not thou$and$ of dollar$ IMO, far outweigh$ a paltry donation of twenty buck$ a year.:cool:

Again, Thank You, for all the info. you provide, & for taking the time to gather & post it!

I don't know where you find all this stuff, but assume you would have to kill me if you told me...so I don't wanna know...:smilewink

Yeah, I tried unplugging and plugging back in the ABS module...I'll try the cleaner...prob end up taking out the fuse, as ABS is over-rated...

This site is priceless...I know I've saved thousands using it. THANKS!!!

OK guys, just today, my VX started flashing the 'CHECK' light under the TOD. Following the above instructions, it looks like you need to jumper pin 4 or 5 with pin 8 on the diag connector. I did this with a paperclip, and it does not change the flashing. Am I doing something wrong? It just keeps constantly flashing, it does not flash....flash flash for 12 or anything.

Any suggestions? I am going to try some copper wire when I get home, maybe the paperclip isn't conducting enough. The paperclip works in my Trooper's diag terminal so I can't see why it wouldn't work here.

Anyway, the VX is running and shifting fine, I'm hoping its just a sensor or something.

Thanks - Bart

Hi Bart, did you get your TOD light problem solve? I got mine flashing. I'm thinking from exactly after a hard brake on a red light

Nope, I have not had a chance to work on it again. VX has been....resting. I drive it once or twice a month and that's about it. I would love to find a solution. I might have to bite the bullet and buy OEM sensors at some point. I hope the transfer case is ok.

What happened to the check code instructions? My ABS light just came on and I would like to check the codes. I have read it before a long time ago and know you have to jump pins but I don't know which ones. When I go to deermagnets instruction it says edit 02/06/13.

I bookmarked this a long time ago thinking I may need it one day. Well, one day is here and the instructions are gone? Anyone know where I can find it?

My TOD has thrown a checklight, any chance the procedure to check the codes is going to comeback soon?

[tom4bren]

Got'cher back.

Here's the file.

[longiotti]

nothing on the ABS info?

[tom4bren]

Try Dis One

Thanks for the data Tom

I got a TOD code 13. From the circuit diagram I think I will need to remove the Front and rear Sensors and check the wiring closely. Anyone else fixed a code 13 before, have any other suggestions?

It appears deermagnet has gone through all his old posts and edited them to nothing :(

Is it a coincident that the episode of Star Trek: TNG I am currently watching is the one where the crew members are disappearing with no trace? Weird...

Maybe DeerMagnet is in an alternate dimension, too.

Hi folks. Now I am having, or did have the TOD coming on at random thingy going on. Yesterday it was doing it and the check light was blinking. I was halfway to taking my son to work. I stopped two places for him to do errands on the way and then to get fast food and suddenly there at Taco Bell as I pulled into the parking spot it quit doing it. If it has stopped and doesn't happen again is there anything I need to worry about still? If it does happen again, all this stuff I just read here and in the document sounds like mechanic talk to me and I am not a very mechanicy kind of chick. So I will need the explanation for dummies even though I am smart in all other things except that and math. I just hope it has resolved.
