Default Explorer Auto Trans in Ranger

A friend purchased a 2002 FX4 Ranger w/ 4.0L. The trans was broken when the previous owner had a prop shaft failure. Friend got a junkyard auto trans from a 2001 Explorer Sport Trac, 4.0L.

I connected my OBDII scanner app to it for a engine issue and noticed a bunch of codes for the trans. All solenoids have errors, lock-up clutch has errors, and couple of others. Seems funny so we reconnected all electrical connections and no improvement.

First question, is this trans compatible with a 2002 Ranger? Second, where are the part/ ID numbers on the transmission to confirm what it is?

Thanks.

Pete

2001 had a ISS sensor above the shifter linkage of the transmission. I would suspect the 2002 didn’t have that. Is there a sensor on the transmission that doesn’t have a connector in the wiring for it? Check fuses also as that will set a list of codes. Good luck. The ID tag will be under the head of a bolt that holds the extension housing on.

We were on the right track with electrical. How about a blown fuse for the TCM. Doh!

Trans now works good.
