Strange problems w/ the vx

Definitely remove the Interceptor and reset your ECU (30 minutes battery disconnect) as more and more Interceptor failures are popping up on various forums.

Have you pulled a code history from your ECU?

No i havent Joe. Trying to decide if i wanna tackle pulling the interceptor here at work today or not lol.
I'll do the reset after I get the interceptor pulled, dont know if it would reset differently with or without the interceptor in place but better to be safe than sorry.

The Interceptor shouldn't affect the reset of your ECU at all, but I don't know if the Interceptor has any type of non-volatile memory in it. There certainly isn't any way it could re-program the ECU, as its only purpose is to modify transmission telemetry.

Well got the interceptor pulled and the battery reset. Didnt get a lot of driving time over the last couple days but I havent felt any stumbles or irregular downshifting. So (crosses my fingers) hopefully that problem is fixed. Wonder if the interceptors have a warrenty, probably not.

I do still get the ABS light that comes on after driving it a few miles. I noticed the TOD lights will flash occasionally which lights up the ABS light.

Well my last reply was a bit premature. Seems that its still downshifting occasionally, however it does seem less often (probably my imagination). Gonna get any codes that might be present read today and go from there. I do think the interceptor is fine now though. Just figured I'd keep this issue updated for future use by others.

Sorry I didn't think to add this earlier, but have you double-checked the tranny fluid level? I know it's a pain, but a good thing to do a little while after a change.
