Now i've been here for hours reading threads on this and they all seem to ask "how to do it" but none have answered my question.
I bought my gst which i believe already has that blue wire mod done to it, or something else (im not sure and thats part of my question). Previous owner never told me anything and i didnt notice till like a month later
I think its the bwm because there is a switch on my center console. (on-off-on). at the "off" position the car would drive normal, gears would engage smooth (from P to R and R to D ect) and o/d worked fine. When in either "on" positions the car (trans) acts funny, when going from P to R its ROUGH and LOUD same when going from R to D. Once its on the go it would go thru the first 3 gears and well pressing the o/d button did nothing. NOW all of a sudden no matter in what position the switch is in it'll engage all nasty about it and when on the go wont get past 1st gear....ill be going like 40 and rpms are around 5k.
On to my questions. to begin with, am i right about this being the blue wire mod??
second, since i would have the switch in the "off" position all the time and drive it normal what could have caused it to start acting like it did ? (All wiring is how it was when I got the car, havent messed with anything so its not like i moved wires or something).
Could it be the TCU? Because the bwm wires up to it doesnt it? if so where is the TCU located? Some guy said it was underneath my center console but if im not mistaken thats my air bag module isnt it?
IDK where to beggin.
