Good to hear the ETM software reload fixed the remaining problems. You may have not saved any money but you deserve a lot of credit for replacing the TPS and successfully repairing this ETM, not an easy task. Nice work Yehuda.

I can provide you with voltages I measured on 3 different ETMs from the junkyard when I was replacing the throttle position sensor. After powering up the ETM with a 12V battery the throttle plate would go to a default slightly open position and the sensor voltage ranged between 1.38V to 1.43V in thi...

Even knowing with certainly it was the UEM I was not in a position to spend the amount of money required to replace the module. With the help of vegasjetskier’s post I took the rear mirror out and apart. I hooked it back up in the car with the electronics exposed and used a soldering iron to heat u...

Tried the relay today although I didn't have the FMI1 relay, so I replaced the one that was where FMI1 would've been, and the bottom side of the fuse cover said AC, and it made no difference. Maybe that's not the relay you meant, though, Superherman. I'd really like to un-seat the ECU and take a lo...

Something to consider to determine the condition of your existing engine is using an endoscope to check for cracked sleeve and evidence of head gasket leak. For $80 you can get one with two cameras; front and side or $40 for the single camera version. I recently bought one to help me determine what'...

The adaptation is the one where I drive the car in various different rpms, and the orange triangle would light when the upshifts and downshifts are learned. I don't think the transmission whines, but I will pay attention to it next time I drive. There is no code at all. I would think the control mo...

Thanks, those are very detailed and helpful. I guess I will first check the currents through the solenoids against the diagrams you referenced, which though is probably not the problem but should be easy to carry out using VIDA, so might as well check it out. Would be great if it's some external el...

If I have some time tomorrow I'll see if I can get solenoid current readings from my car. The B3 Low/Reverse brake doesn't have an external pressure tap, it's one of the two fluid paths between the valve body and case where the two o-ring type seals are needed. Solenoids S3 and S5 turn on for revers...

You may have a bad reservoir. If it appears to stay wet around the cap than replacing the reservoir is your first action. A part breaks inside causing the fluid to aerate causing a noisy pump. Its a common failure on a P2. June Yes, I did have a bad reservoir. Just installed a new one and fluid is ...

Thanks for all the great information everyone. I am going to attempt this on my daughters 2004 s60. Lets hope all of your great information leads to a successful result. Here's how I did this job recently. Used a 16 inch bar clamp and although the photo shown is with the transmission out of the car...
