Replaced the PSOM in both of my OBS trucks since I've owned them. When it went bad in my 95 F150, my truck would not shift out of first gear and displayed no other symptoms other than a slight bobbling of the speedo needle at highway speeds. When it went bad in my 94 F250, the odometer was missing numbers from the mileage total, the speedometer went totally dead, and the truck would not shift properly whatsoever. Replaced and all was well again. When an issue comes up with the speedo or odo, and it is accompanied by strange transmission shifting, the PSOM is definitely a good thing to check/try before anything else. Cool video.. will help lots of people.

My 97 f350 the speedo just went crazy last night. Abs light came on once till i shut it off and od light was flashing. Got it to no lights by restarting trk and trk felt like it shift way early almost down to lugging an auto? Couple times

Good comment thanks

Man..... i just calibrated the PSOM to my 35x12.50x17 and worked like a charm. Thank you bunches. Made a world of difference on the shifting

Great video. You actually used my exact tires and size as your example so you did the formula work for me as well. Thanks a ton 96 Bronco I have

A very well done video. Easy to follow instructions. This will help a lot of people out. Thanks

Excellent Video, easy to understand and follow. I think It helped me understand the root of the problem I had on my truck. My 1992 F150 I-6 300 4AOD was running rough, late, violent upshifts from 1-2, lagging performance. it had a dead Tachometer, so I pulled the PSOM and repaired a cold solder joint, Truck ran much better after, but still had issues. I replaced oversize tires I bought it with, bought factory size on the door and now the old truck runs and shifts smoothly. I am convinced it was the PSOM Calibration setting.

Thanks for the vid, got mine calibrated down to 864 running BFG A/T 33x12.5 R15 , working better! Everything worked like a champ

Thanks for the video. Made the whole process a lot easier.

Great demonstration! You were straight to the point. Now to purchase new tires. Thank you!

Thanks, you explain it very well

Good stuff bro. Thanks for the info!

Just did this reset on my 95 F150 after switching out the cluster due to the odometer and speedo failing. Your directions work A-Okay.

After changing out did you notice if the mileage had increased or did it stop counting when it failed? My 94 f150 odometer doesn't display anymore and curious if it's still ticking along or not.

Yep. I've been running 31's since replacing the original tires 25 years ago, and never knew about this. I've had no problems, but good to know.

I Guess I need to check my 1994 F-150 Lightning it shifting a little weird pull a hill. it pulls a hill and then Jumps into the next lower gear when it shouldn't be doing that at least as soon as it does. Thanks for this info I Appreciate it. 0h yeah THUMB's UP👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for the in-depth PSOM training on this SPEEDO ADJ adjustments... I am surprised that a math process was involved. vs, getting the formula of read end axel TONE RING nr# -X -REV-MILAGE / by 8K... Were as only thinking to use only the TIRE manufacture REVS PER MILE and use this data and input it in the PSOM.... Thanks for the clarification..!!!

I’m praying this works for my bronco. I put 33s on it and have developed an issue of hard unexpected shifts. This explains everything so well. Can’t wait to test drive.

Thanks for this. Was a tiny bit different on my 92 but matched what i read in some forums, it counts forward not backwards and didnt seam to have any limit to how often i could change it, it didnt even have a reset counter, n the psom port wasnt labeled but in the exact spot shown. Just got the tuck with a bad transmission but its been on 38s for 20 years n it was still factory tire size on the psom, this should help as i get ready to swap in a good transmission.

Awesome video, thank you for the info.

Great video! One thing I figured out while re-calibrating mine was the jumper didn't like the cigarette lighter ground and wouldn't let me toggle through the CAL settings. I moved the alligator clip down to the bolt that holds the seat belt to the floor by the center console and that did the trick. My tires are a little worn so now the speedo is showing high by about 1-2% but it's WAY better than it was before (10+mph low) and now the transmission is shifting much smoother, especially on downshifts coming up to a stop light. Hope this helps someone!

Great video! I’ve been having issues with my trans it seems to happen when the something on the interior side warms up. It will then down shift or sometimes shift really hard into 3rd gear. I’ve also noticed that the cruise control doesn’t work when this starts to act up. I have a 1993 F 250 XLT HD. I was thinking it’s an issue with PSOM but I don’t know how to test. Thanks and keep on making great content!

Great information. Thank you.

Thanks man for the video

This was a great video. Super easy to follow for us who are not so mechanically inclined.... I need to replace the PSOM on my 95 f150, I would like to put in one that has a tachometer on it. Would that just be plug and play? Or do I need to do any wiring? Also does the replacement PSOM need to be from another 95? Or will a 93/94 work too?

@obsgarage6682

It always been my understanding replacing a cluster must be done in groups. 92-93, 94-95, and 96-97 are compatible with each other. With that said, I have heard of people using off years successfully but perhaps that has something to do with the build date of the particular donor and recipient vehicle ?? Who knows. I successfully swapped a 95 cluster with tach into a 95 f150 with no problems. What you do is remove the entire donor cluster and just remove/replace the psom (speedo) into the new cluster and install it. It should plug and play. When people use different year other that I listed I have heard reports of a no charging condition or the battery light staying on, etc.

Hey I’m having trouble with my bronco not wanting to shifting while I’m drive, it automatically goes to 4th gear. I’ve replaced the solenoid pack plug, the MLPS plug, TPS, VSS, and all fuses. I’m going to be replacing the Speedo as well and the coolant temperature sensor maybe even the PCM to be safe, but if you have any idea or advice where to look please share thanks again for the helpful video

The best formula is 20168/ by tire height divided by.6666 should give you calculation number. I went by new tires and it was correct went reverse with the numbers and came up with the stock tire height for a check. Tried 2 other ways and they where off.

Replaced my cluster 3 times still not workin..no bad fuses ..any help would b great

My E4OD is shifting erratic. I replaced my tires with a bigger size. Would not changing psom settings make my transmission shift all crazy?

What do I need to set mine at? 35x12.50x17 all terrain ko’s. Which is 602 revs per mile. I have 4:88 gears. Truck is a 1995 ford bronco with a 5.0. Thanks

The program worked, just like in the video. But still didn’t fix my problem. Needle still bouncing and I am not sure the Bronco is shifting into overdrive. Thanks.

Hi, Hope all is well with everyone. Would a gear change have the same effect as tire size change?

Why go to the trouble of removing the instrument cluster? You realize there is a single wire connector for the PSOM under the glove box right?!

did you use your last reset when you checked it if worked at the end?

So when I regear will that mess with the PSOM calibration?

Is it possible to change the psom from E to O? That is the problem I'm having, I believe. My speedo is set to E, but the speedometer is metric and reads too high, while the odometer reads too low, I believe. It's a Canadian truck, and I would think the PSOM should be set to O and not E. I've heard about people who have had this setting change on them....but don't know how to change it back.

PLEASE HELP I went through this video step by step, however when I hold the RESET button and turn the key to RUN, I get the code “E 03”. When I click RESET again, I get 1000CAL but it won’t let me change the calibration number no matter how many times I click SELECT. I have a wire running from the PSOM terminal to a ground while I’m doing this. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Does this effectively change the shift points?

I'm replacing my 97 f 250HD XL guage cluster with an XLT cluster which includes the tachometer, like the one in your video. 2 Questions, is this a plug and play swap as far as the tach goes and what will the odometer read, actual vehicle mileage, or replacement cluster mileage. I guess what I'm asking is where is actual vehicle mileage stored.

@rustyshackleford6060

Жыл бұрын

Mileage is stored on the PSOM, so it will show the new clusters mileage. You can either transfer your PSOM from the old cluster to the new (if the PSOM isn't the part that's broken) Or send the new cluster to a repair company that can program your mileage onto it.

4:56 How does the speedometer influence a electronic controlled transmission. Im looking at eecIV and eecV pinout and I dont see anything from the speedometer or tach. Im under the impression that the MLPS, OSS and VSS controls when to shift. Please what am i missing?

@willyt.franklin9039

4 жыл бұрын

The VSS signal goes into the PSOM as a square wave form from the rear axle speed sensor. The PSOM converts this to a digital value and sends that to the ECM. The ECM uses the digital value to tell the transmission when to shift. I'vhad a few trucks with late upshift, hard shifts, no overdrive all from a bad PSOM.

Wow. I have had my bronco since 2003. Never checked this. I have 35's. I just reprogrammed it yesterday. Holly mother of Joseph, I feel like I have been missing out of a lot of power and great shifting. I wish I would of done this from day one! If you have a lifted F series and have not checked this, do it! Now the cat doesn't make so much stink, it gets and goes like i got a set of headers on it or something! It took me 5 minutes to double check math, and 5 mins to find a jumper, then 2 minutes to change it! I would say this is a MUST if you have an automatic. Also seems like my engine is a little more beastly. Over all it has definitely gotten rid of that DOGGY SLOW feeling from big tires. This is a must for anyone that is looking for more power or get up and go.

No. The tone wheel is on the ring gear. Think if everything connected to the ring gear is stock (Ring gear to tires) , then your gear ratio change only changes the pinion shaft rotations before the ring gear/ tone wheel. Hopefully I explained that clear enough.

You’ve got to take the column covers off and to the right of the column you’ll see where the little white shifter cable connects at the dash. There is a little black wheel that you use to adjust the shifter indicator. Put the truck in a low gear while turned off to release tension on the cable. Release the copper cable that runs through the white tube from the hook then spin the little black wheel to release the assembly. :)

Why should we care to do this? If you upsize the tire, your odometer will increment more slowly, helping the value of the truck. If you go from 29" to 32" just add 10% to the speedometer reading. While it's cool that it's possible to program it, I see no reason to actually do it

All the f-150's that i have seen that have never been changed starts out 972! If you do the math on the factory 235/75/15 the number should be 943! I wonder why it is defaulted at 972?
