What are the symptoms of a bad governor pressure solenoid?

Common symptoms/transmission problems associated with a bad governor pressure sensor include, poor downshift timing, hanging in 3rd or 2nd gear on down shifts, delayed up shifts, hanging in 1st or 2nd gear on up shifts, 3rd gear limp mode.

What does a governor pressure solenoid?

Governor pressure sensors and solenoids help keep automatic transmissions running smoothly. For that reason, the governor pressure sensor and solenoid repair kit is also known as an auto transmission governor repair kit.

How much does it cost to replace a governor pressure sensor?

Get a more accurate estimate for your Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement using our Fair Price Estimator. The average cost for an Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement is between $88 and $97 but can vary from car to car.

What does the governor pressure switch do?

Governor Pressure Electronic transmissions use the vehicle speed sensor signal for vehicle speed. Governor pressure causes a transmission to upshift, and throttle pressure causes it to downshift. Governor pressure works on one end of the valve, and a spring assisted by throttle pressure works on the other.

What does the transmission governor solenoid do?

Solenoids are electro-hydraulic valves. They control the flow of transmission fluid throughout the transmission, and they open and close as per the electrical signals they receive from your vehicle’s engine or transmission control unit, which pulls its data from a series of speed sensors in the engine.

What is code P1762?

P1762 Governor Pressure Sensor Offset Volts Too Low Or High.

What is code P1763?

Error Code P1763 appears when the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control module in other vehicle makes) determines that the voltage coming off of the governor pressure sensor is higher than the specified and normal pressure, which is at 4.89V or more for at least 8.5 seconds.

How do I know if my transmission governor is bad?

Some of the most common signs of a bad transmission control module include:

1. You have difficulty downshifting when you’re slowing down, coming to a stop, or manually trying to downshift.
2. You have difficulty upshifting when you’re trying to accelerate or manually trying to upshift, which can cause a delay in acceleration.

What is governor pressure is and what is the purpose of a governor?

Electronic transmissions use the vehicle speed sensor signal for vehicle speed. Governor pressure causes a transmission to upshift, and throttle pressure causes it to downshift. Governor pressure works on one end of the valve, and a spring assisted by throttle pressure works on the other.

Can you drive with a bad transmission pressure control solenoid?

The short answer is that, yes, you can usually drive a car with a bad shift solenoid. Fluid pressure control should continue to function in the gear with the working solenoid, but you should avoid putting any serious stress on the transmission — towing or drag racing — just in case.

Is the governor pressure sensor and solenoid correct?

The governor pressure sensor which came originally was incorrect, even though the governor pressure solenoid (and gasket) were correct. One quick email and it was sorted out within literally five minutes. Two days later the correct sensor arrived. I am very pleased with seller. Will certainly do business again in the future.

What should the governor pressure be on a 42-47re?

If a 42-47RE transmission doesn’t shift properly from first through third gears, your first check is alwaysgover- nor pressure. Governor pressure should be zero at a stop, and rise about one PSI per MPH, up to about 40 MPH.

What does the Governor solenoid upgrade kit do?

Governor pressure solenoid body gasket It is very common for these transmissions to have electronic failures. This kit will restore your transmission electronic function to better than factory level. The heavy-duty BorgWarner governor pressure solenoid included in this kit is a huge upgrade over OEM.

Can a BorgWarner governor pressure solenoid be upgraded?

The heavy-duty BorgWarner governor pressure solenoid included in this kit is a huge upgrade over OEM. The added 3-4 accumulator spring in this kit is also a major upgrade. These transmissions commonly had broken springs, which can cause 3-4 shift problems, or even transmission failure. Typical problem: Wrong gear start.
