pulse width modulation is PWM. there are a number of things that can cause it to not go into lock-up... but i would start with the solenoid, they tend to **** out quite a bit. take the pan down, and you cant miss it!

i dont know your actual technical ability nor your tool array, but i personally would put an oscilloscope on the solenoid, or get a DMM that measures duty cycle... the best way would be with a tech II though... command for lock-up and see the slippage. also check for your brake on-off switch (brake switch under the pedal) if i can help anymore, pm me. MERV sorry for jacking your thread

working outside 9+ hours a day, so not doing much. My truck has been on jackstands for almost a month now, its too damn hot to be working on stuff outside. Well I was making progress on the truck, lower ball joint is either the wrong part or my lca got damaged.

Got a Corbeau Forza seat sitting in my room, have a Sparco harness on the way. Just have to get motivated to paint my roll bar and I can get to work on the interior.

Did the LED swap for my gauge cluster, destroyed my dash pad......

Got tailgated by a cop last weekend at 11:45 PM, what I can't cruise my Camaro or something?
