#2565 of 3320 Re: Transmission vs transmission controls? by fsmmcsi [lateralg] by steve_ HOST May 29, 2005 (10:48 am)
Replying to: lateralg (May 29, 2005 10:28 am) This seems to be getting bogged down a bit in semantics. The transmission won't shift period without a driver putting the Explorer in gear and driving off. I suppose you could link to the applicable patents, but those things are too dense to figure out anyway.   Ok, if I take my tranny in for a reflash, the optimal shift duration data will get changed and the tranny will take a while to adjust. If I disconnect the battery to cause the tranny to relearn, aggressive or mild driving will just affect the time it takes for the tranny to figure out the optimal shift duration, based on throttle and rpm stuff. Or am I putting words in your mouth?   I think we're about done here...   Steve, Host

Nope.   You nailed it, Steve.
#2567 of 3320 Fuel Reset? by daryll44 May 30, 2005 (12:10 pm)
Today I was riding as a front passenger in our 2003 Mountaineer. I noticed about ankle level there is a groove in the plastic kick panel that says "Fuel Reset" or something like that. What the heck is it? Replies to this message: chuck1 (May 30, 2005 1:59 pm)

Replying to: daryll44 (May 30, 2005 12:10 pm) I believe that is the reset for a sensor that turns the fuel off from the gas tank in the event of a accident or rollover. I have heard cases where it "trips" if you go over a "washboard dirt road".

What Chuck said.   Although I haven't heard of rough road tripping. Replies to this message: electricdesign (May 30, 2005 4:45 pm)

Replying to: lateralg (May 30, 2005 2:07 pm) Neither have I.
#2571 of 3320 Rough Road Tripping by nvbanker Jun 05, 2005 (8:26 pm)
Theoretically, I have heard of it, but I've never heard of it actually happening to anybody. I've only seen one trip after a collision or rollover Replies to this message: electricdesign (Jun 06, 2005 3:17 am)

Replying to: nvbanker (Jun 05, 2005 8:26 pm) The fuel reset is on the fuel shut off switch, it is an interia switch that activates on impact or roll over, very much like an airbag sensor. Vibration should never set it off.
#2573 of 3320 Love our Explorer by kc_flynn Jun 07, 2005 (10:12 am)
We just cracked the 10,000 mile mark on our 2004 Explorer XLS Sport 4x4. We've had it since September. Both my wife and I are HUGE fans of the Explorer. Roomy, nice ride, good power, easy to access dashboard buttons and controls.   After driving Hondas and Toyotas, this was our first Ford, and we have been very impressed.
