    Yes, or it could be a commination's fault, an "implausible" signal in the system from sensor, a module that has lost its programing, etc. The question is which one and what fault, and where is it, which only a scan would answer. You could spend a lot of time chasing your tail not knowing where to start.
  2. JFP in PA
    It could pinpoint where the fault is in the system, dramatically reducing diagnostic time.

    Please do not "bump" posts, it is against the forum rules you agreed to when joining.

    You can find the complete coverage by model and year here: Durametric

    Most quality shops did, just as the followed their “preinstallation inspection “ directives, both of which benefited the car’s owner at no cost to the shops. We regularly had customers ask us about both when shopping for someone to do the retrofit, signs of an informed consumer. DIY’s on the other hand were another story.......

    Older AOS units had a single o-ring seal, later units have multiple seals.

    Good night. Leave you with a thought: Try a lighted mechanics mirror before jumping for a borescope: It has two LED's to illuminate and is a great time saver. I have both this and a borescope in the shop and reach for this way more than the borescope.
  8. JFP in PA
    While you have the AOS out, physically compare it to the unit you removed to see if there are any obvious differences.
  9. JFP in PA
    Something is not right here. I would pull the unit and either use a borescope of a small mirror to see if something is still in the block. Did you say that you had the bolt in and the unit was flush with the engine case when the tube was not all the way in? If that is correct, there is something wrong with that AOS unit. Did you compare it to the unit you pulled out?
  10. JFP in PA
    OK, something interesting: Here is the part ending in 54: And here is the one ending 55: Notice the difference in the length of the tube that inserts into the block?
  11. JFP in PA
    That was what I was just looking at.
  12. JFP in PA
    OK, let's start with the basics: What year and model is your car? What is the part number of the AOS you are trying to install?
  13. JFP in PA
    Was this photo taken from under the car? The AOS looks' like it is hitting the case to the left of the tube....
  14. JFP in PA
    Something is seriously wrong here. We have never had to "hammer" an AOS into position, the normally just pop in with minor pressure. Are you sure you have the correct AOS? Are you sure it isn't hitting something that is preventing it from seating?
  15. JFP in PA
    That is the neutral safety switch; the reverse light switch is under the console as pictured above.
  16. JFP in PA
    While someone has obviously butchered the car for some reason, you should be able to either recreate the harness, or get one from a breakers yard to put the car back together correctly.
  17. JFP in PA
    Opps That is for the manual, yours is a Tip, so it is under the center console:
  18. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech It is under the car on the transmission, replacement procedure: http://www.locodemoto.com/transfer/Replacing-Reverse-Lights-Back-Up-Lights-Switch.pdf
  19. JFP in PA
    Did you lubricate the seals before installing? A little silicone lube goes a long way here...………...
  20. JFP in PA
    Not really, other than the battery (always be safety mined). The trick here is you are only dropping it a couple of inches to give you access to the AOS. As long as you don't go nuts with the process, it is quick and simple. We always used a fabricated cradle to hold the engine while doing this, but it can be done with a block of wood and a jack if you are careful.
  21. JFP in PA
    That is very true. Many shops, mine included, while offered certification, never obtained it as it was both time consuming and expensive. In reality, if your shop already had more business than it could handle, becoming certified really didn't offer you much.
  22. JFP in PA
    Yup.
  23. JFP in PA
    I believe that you will find that list is for the IMS Solution only, there is a sperate list for their ceramic hybrid retrofits.
  24. JFP in PA
    Removing, or disabling, a Federally mandated safety feature, like an air bag, will require failing the car at state inspection in many areas of the country.
  25. JFP in PA
    I would suggest contacting LN Engineering, they have a list of preferred installers all over the country.
