Have a Check Engine Light on?
get it scanned or DIY

do self test anyway; some faults do Not light the CEL since, "Don’t worry if the Check Engine Light is not on, the computer will store lesser important codes without flashing lights in your face."
and;
A technician that is unfamiliar with the EEC Self-Test can mistakenly believe that continuous Memory codes are not present when they really are. He may run KOER Self-Test and get a pass code (111) and not realize that KOEO Self-Test must be run to receive any Continuous Memory codes. He may run KOEO Self-Test while counting MIL flashes and misinterpret the repeated hard fault pass code (111) to mean that Continuous Memory does not contain any codes.

My 95 xlt had the same problem. Because the speedo controls the tranny's shift points when it jumps around it tells the tranny to change gears. Most likely a bad speedo. Search ebay for gauge pods and replace you speedo. It only takes basic skills and all in all mine cost around $65 total. I also replaced the speed sensor thinking it was that but no change there. Good luck

Hi, I just bought my first Bronco and I love it. So far so good. Don't think I'll ever buy another brand! I have one slight possible problem. When driving slow in town around 5-10 mph. it feels like it's jumping into the next gear. I only drive it on the wkends to my country house. About 300 miles or so round trip. Anyone else experience this? Thanks for any help!!

The Ford Bronco category is a relatively new topic in the SUVs section so it may take a while for Bronco owners to find it!

-- from our Owner's Guide;
"The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has
not reached normal operating temperature.The PCM also controls the transmission’s Torque
Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle
performance and fuel economy. The Torque
Converter Clutch will engage when the
transmission operating temperature and other
conditions determined by the PCM have been
met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as
a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has
completed or when the driver has depressed the
throttle while driving at a steady road speed.
To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually
performs self-tests on the electronic control
system and if any faults are detected, will store
them in memory. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the
gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a
malfunction has been detected..."

Thank's for the useful tips. It sounds like the PCM is adjusting accordingly. Could be the tranny temp., after driving 2hrs. non-stop on the highway ,to the slow, stop and go in the city.
