Transmission is all electronically controlled , no vacuum hose's to transmission .
Which trans does it have ? continuously variable transaxle (CVT)
or 6 speed automatic
This transaxle is a compact, lightweight, next generation electronically controlled, 6-speed automatic transaxle that employs a Ravigeneaux-type planetary gear.
Yes the switch could be bad but the engine ciould also be low on oil or the oil pump could be going bad. The plan would be to check and top up the oil if necessary. If it still does it then have a mechanical oil pressure guage put in and get an acutual reading. This will tell you if it's the switch or the oil pump.
Keep in mind the definitions:
* ECM = Electronic Control Module (prior 1995 computer, OBD1)
* PCM = Powertrain Control Module (1995 and newer, OBD2)
Ford Freestyle 2005 - Powertrain Control Module
The PCM is located in the ine compartment, passenger side,
mounted to the cowl. Removal & Installation procedure:
The freestyles looked similar and is in a similar location. Looking at the engine from the front of the car, the EGR valve is to the right of the engine and a little further back (closer to the driver).
Let me know if you can find it, or if you need a picture of the freestyle's (I own a 2005 freestyle).
The high pressure filter and fluid are supposed to be changed at 60k intervals. Ford has a very specific oil for this transmission and the service fee will be $300 to $450 - mine was around $420.
No other car place will touch the CVS transmission in a Ford Freestyle and most Ford dealerships are clueless on thier maintenance and repairs. On most issues that crop up the first thing they want to do is swap it out - for $4000+.
