it sounds to me like the ecu is doing nothing and may not be wired up properly, a disconnected tps will still change gear but just at odd points

Theres definetely power there I checked that today. I have both the transmission wiring diagrams both infront of me for the last month.

There is a difference from both boxes boxes tho- btr85le has a yellow wire going to pin 29 of the trans ecu, whre as the btr91le has a red wire instead, going to the power relay of the ignition where its getting power.

I belled out all wires today & they are all good. the only thing i had to change the other day was the pin locations of the rectangle 8 pin transmission loom because the old 3 speed reverse lamp & speedo sensor wires were in different spots.

Fault Code Extraction:

1. Ground transmission SELF TEST input lead (orange) on the Diagnostic Connector.
2. Connect a suitable Analogue Multimeter, LED Test Light or Digital Multimeter with
Bar Graph to transmission SELF TEST output lead (green/blue) and Battery Positive.
3. Turn Ignition key on
4. Record codes.

All good now mate! I used the pin out table from the forum & found i had the road speed & tacho wire back to front. THats all it was!

Runs just as it should :) The only thing is pin 4 wired for the air con im not sure where abouts it goes...any ideas.?

Oh and also i dont have the piggy back tps for the kickdown. BUT, for now i wired it up in parallel with the existing ones that go to the ECU & it works funny enough!

SO yeah Im not sure if i should bother changing it now. Would it conflict with anything else using just the one tps? IS there a reason for using 2 tps's with the TCU?

The TS - could work and could not.

The problem is that you have two seperate controllers in two parts of the car. Different Grounds, and more importantly, different Power supply to the TPS. Thats an electrical problem unless one of them is significantly different (say 12 rather than 5v).

Having two TPS's keeps it all seperate. There are a lot of good reasons for it.

The EB II's etc didnt need it as the ECU used a single signal and passed it to both the Engine, and Trans code in the one MicroController
