transmission not working properly after being in an accident?

Does the speedometer work? If so, it sounds like the input shaft sensor is unplugged or not working. I would check the fluid level and then run the codes; these guides can help:

Here is how to replace the input shaft sensor in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Hi, I'm going to try this, sensor, and will let you know for sure. Thank you, James

You can run the codes to see what comes up as well, this guide can help:

i changed the input shaft sensor in the 2007 Ford Escape, now i have only sort of reverse slips bad in forward gears, service 4x4 came on said disabled then cleared, then same again, still no drive.

Did any codes come up? Also let's check the condition of the fluid, let make know if it is burnt.

Hi Ken, got codes, p0193 sensor a circuit high pressure
p0720, p0722, p0731. output shaft, no signal?
u2023?
c1233 speed wheel left front, left front input signal missing.
u0401, u0415, ? PCM invalid or missing.
really just need some go, i can figure the rest, wow.

Output shaft, no signal? So does the speedometer work? If not, I would check the output shaft speed sensor to make sure it is connected and if so, I would replace the sensor. Here is the location. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.

thank you, i will let you know.

Please do, have a great day.

i changed the output shaft sensor, i can feel it go into low and second, when i step on the pedal it starts to move, then nothing but rev. fluids good, i tried to idle around some, and the 4x4 light started to flash, reverse is moving me. i think there is an ECM code.

may have been PCM?

Yes the PCM could be the problem but can I ask what code is coming up now, is it the same one?

i'm getting code stupid now. i will just list them in order received, p0193-ff, p1000-ff, u0401-20, u0415-20, u2023-20, c1233-20, b1318-20 u2013-20, c1703 c1706, c1700, c1709, b1570, b1380-20, b2030-20, i would like the transmission to work, have replaced both input, and output, sensors, as you know, wow sorry. thank you, James

With this many codes it looks like the PCM is bad, I would remove it and send it in for testing.

Okay, where would i send it?

Please search google or eBay for a shop near you. We use AER in Fullerton in so-cal.

thank you, will get back.

Please let us know what happens.

i will for sure, thank you.

the PCM is okay, i took off the pan just to see the filter, i see no filter, the person who tested the PCM said look in the pan something may be visible no.

Is the speedometer working? you have an output speed sensor code; I am wondering if the wiring harness got damaged in the accident. If you clear the codes and then turn the key on without starting the engine and then scan the car again do any codes come up?

It is hard to tell if the speedo works, can't move it, the guy brought his obd2 reader cleared and the only code is left front speed sensor. He said he thinks a break of sorts internally.

yes, that can do it, I would replace the sensor to see what happens.

which sensor? i changed input and output sensors.

Did you do the clear codes and then turn the key on to see which codes come up? We are looking for hard codes, this is the way to do it. also look over the transmission wiring harness to see if it is damaged and check the electrical connector at the transmission to make sure it is free from damage/corrosion.
