Transmission Position Sensor
Where it eh TPS located on the 4L60E? How would one check it, reset it, or replace it?
After doing more research, talking with others, and double checking, this has to be the problem with my car not starting. When the transmission was reinstalled, the sensor has to have gotten damaged, misaligned, or something.
Thanks,
Keith

There is no such thing as a transmission position sensor???
TPS stands for throttle position sensor
What kind of problem are you having and what codes do you have?

Neutral/safety/start switch is on the driver side of the trans. The shifer cable/lever shaft goes thru the middle of it. The electrical connectors are SUPER GLUED in place from the factory. If the shop in question pried the connectors out and put them back in its very possible thats your problem. You always remove the switch from the tranny and not the connectors out of the switch. You can jumper the wires and get it to start to test. If you find its the issue you will need a new switch and the service pigtails to repair.

Hey Phil,
Thanks for the reply. Now I am pretty sure that is the problem, the netrual safety switch. The 402 FI project got started when I fried the clutch packs in the tranmission. When I dropped the transmission, the connector by the shift cable came out nice and easy, so I am sure when the transmission overheated it broke the bond of the glue keeping thr connector to the switch.
The question is, what to do. Do I replace out the switch and get a new pig tail and soder it into the transmission wiring harness? Which wires would I jumper to test to make sure that it the problem?
Thanks,
Keith
