Need help ASAP Titan wont go into gear

mcbreaker · 07-02-2009, 11:42 PM

Heres my problems when I start my titan all the guages freak out for a couple of seconds. Second the A/C just stopped no blower nothing. Third after I start it, it will not come out of park stuck in gear. Last but not least when i hook up my new scanner it keeps saying please hook up to OBD but works fine on other vehicles. All of these happened at the same time. Any help would be great thanks

How to:ECU Reset,Throttle & Accelerator Position Learning

Try reseting the ECU.

Sounds fried but try the reset. Don't just disconnect the battery because it is not always the best bet with this case. Socal put in a nice link so you can do it. Dealer will charge you up the a**. Good luck!

You should also clean both battery cables.

I'm not following the logic of a fried ECU here. Sounds to me like a low voltage situation. Battery or alternator, or both.

I'm sure that if the ECU does make sense, someone will come along and let me know I'm wrong, but I hope they'll at least explain to me how/why.

I would think if the truck has enough power to start, but not enough power to turn the blower on that a low battery is likely not it.

Other symptoms it's exhibiting do point to low voltage or amperage situations. When my batt went belly up last week, it was still barely turning over and would start, but the needles sat there and jumped for a second and the trip ODO reset, until the alternator gave it enough voltage/amperage to work properly. If he's got a double problem of a batt that's given up because an alternator isn't properly charging it, there wouldn't be a recovery to the system from the alternator making up the shortfall of power needed. Make sense?
