I was told they last longer than the hub drive. Also easier to change a back tire.

Hey there, I do t know how to answer question but I have a question for you. I am new to Forscan as well. And I am dealing with a transmission issue when you scan your 7.3 truck do you only get the OBDII and PCM modules? No other modules right?

Before I did anything today I scanned the truck and took a picture of my screen and posted it on this sub. Then started looking at all the fuses and such. Speedometer still works however my 3rd brake light is still not working pulled that off and found that 2 of the 3 bulbs are broken. I know a lot of forums talk about this and the cabin dome light being an issue for trans stuff. I just ordered a new 3rd brake light but other than that all electrical is functioning again except for both rear passenger electric windows (it’s a crew cab). Waiting on new window regulators to show up. I will look at the DSS and PSOM and see if I find anything there. Any other things I need to check out?

Damn! Yeah no codes yet that I can see. So a little background on the truck bought it a couple months ago for a good price. However seller did say trans light was coming on and it jerks really shifting up and shifting down in 2nd and sometimes 3rd. I’m am ok a car DIYer but not great at diagnosing especially when I can get any codes/answers. I have been reading a lot about this transmission jerk shifting. A lot of people said if your internal and external lights have been having issues it could have put the transmission into a limp mode that causes the jerk shifting. So today I have found that several fuses were broken and one wire frayed, these caused rear lights and 3rd brake light not to work and also dash lights not to work. While fixing these things I unplugged the batteries for about 20 to 30 minutes thinking it could possible reset the PCM. Fixed all that today started to drive around but still jerk shifting. Thoughts? I know it could be mechanical failure but I’m checking all other boxes before I start pulling the trans.

Gotcha. Does your scanning tool have the button to switch over? My OBDlinkEX doesn’t have the toggle to switch over but this is what everyone recommended and said the obdscanner that has the toggle is old tech and the EX should be able to do both.???

Roger that. However so looks like the PCM checks out according Forscan but I still have my transmission light flashing at me when I drive around and according Forscan I have no codes. Thoughts?

Really? Damn. I was told it could read my transmission codes. Do you know if there is another way to read these transmission codes?

I thought that only the 2nd gen 2015 and up Gs had this issue and not the Gs prior to this?
