So to start off I purchased a 2009 GranTurismo S with F1 transmission that was from a Copart auction. When I got the car I scanned for codes and the main code was no communication to the gearbox computer. Turns out the TCM was missing from the trunk (it was either removed to hide a bigger problem or it was stolen during its time at Copart). The car was stuck in gear and will not start. Thanks to a generous member on here, I was able to borrow their TCM from a 2005 Quattroporte. I know this is not the correct computer however several other members have tried with some success on using this computer on their GranTurismo. They were able to start and shift gears with this same computer although reverse and the shift points were off.
I plugged the TCM in and had a fully charged battery. The good news is upon opening the driver door I was able to hear the F1 pump prime. I put the key in and plugged in my Autel MS908 Pro to read and delete any previous codes. While doing this, I could hear the F1 pump running the entire time. It would not shut off. Turning the key to start did nothing and in the pictures below are the remaining codes for the transmission.
Does anyone know where the Longitudinal Accelerometer is located? I’ve seen a thread about a Vertical Accelerometer located in the trunk but nothing about the Longitudinal sensor. Also the second code regarding the pump relay… I assume this is the infamous f1 pump relay that I hear people replace yearly as a preventative measure? I’m assuming this is why the F1 pump will not shut off shut off when the key is on? Does that make sense?
The good news is that with the Quattroporte TCM, the car was able to get out of Drive and back into neutral.
Any help here would be appreciated.
