Where is the transmission control module located?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. I've attached picture steps below showing the location and removal and replacement of the transmission control module on your vehicle. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Thanks, but my vehicle doesn't have the TCM under the shift cable end arm. Here are a couple of photos hope it helps.

Hello again.

Well, that's weird. I also looked at '05 and '07. The '05 was the same and the'07 didn't show anything. I'll find out more on Monday. I've attached one of the pictures you sent below. I've made a red mark on a harness connector and am curious to know where it leads. I've also attached a picture below of what I found for '05 and up Freestyle TCM online. Possibly mounted inside transmission. Let us know about that harness and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Danny, I followed the plug you marked. The right side of the plug comes from a fuse box into a wiring harness on the fender well. Left side of the plug wise goes up across the injectors to another harness. Goes down towards the starter wise again to the picture I am sending you. Thank you for your help.

can we double check the year because this is what we show for the car.

I checked registration, car book, insurance. They all say 2006.

The issue I suspect we have is that you do not have a 6 speed auto which is what they are attaching as the instructions for. You appear to have a CVT transmission which you are correct does not have the TCM under the manual valve lever.

Take a look at the picture below. Based on this you have a valve body that performs the functions of the TCM in the auto transmission.

Let's take a step back and provide the code you have and we can run through the diagnostic info to see what we need to replace. Thanks

Yes, your right it is a CVT transmission. The picture looks like it. My code was P2765 input speed sensor. The car will not shift out of low gear. Thanks

Hello again.

Here is what I found relating to that code on your truck. I've attached diagnostic steps below. Keep us updated as to what you find and let us know if you have any further questions or diagnostic steps needed. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Okay, we are getting somewhere now. so where do I find the mechatronic unit and how do you change it? how do you reflash that unit?

Danny the number you gave me is for a
Motorcraft DY1213 Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor. Is this what you think I need? If so were is it located?

Hello again.

The mechatronic unit is basically the electronic valve body in the transmission. After the repair or replacement of this unit it will have to be flasher by a proper scanner that supports this or be flashed by a Ford factory scan tool. I've attached below the picture removal and replacement steps for the mechatronic unit on your Freestyle. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
