Well, my work truck (landscaping) truck that I use to operate daily business failed today. So now not only am I out a fortune it looks like to have it fixed, I'm possibly going to lose some customers and contacts in the meantime if I don't get this fixed soon.
So today the truck decided to go haywire.
First issue:
The CEL came on. The truck out of no where started acting really funny. When shutting the truck off and removing the key, the truck still runs for seconds before it shuts off. I took it to Auto Zone and some codes came up. First one being, Bad Fuel Pump. Okay, I knew this one was coming, the gas hand has been bouncing up and down for the last six months, so it was bound for it to happen.
On to the next problem with a question, I received another code: P0891. It says Transmission relay always on. TCM has detected that the transmission relay output is higher than 3 volts when commanded off. Probable cause; short circuit condition, failed relay, faulty ecm.
After leaving Autozone, pulling my landscaping trailer, I had to pull over. Thought I was dragging something on the trailer. It almost felt as if I we're trying to drive with the e-brake on. When I would catch a red-light the truck would "drag" when trying to take off slow like it didn't want to move. After a few seconds it would get rolling, and then would move just fine.
Could anyone tell me could this just be the relay fuse for the transmission or something much worse? If this is the relay, I believe I found them in stock for $13.00, so someone make me sleep easier tonight.
