RE: same tranns problem
 

AN 1870 IS A VERY GENERIC CODE...MEANING ITS NOT FOR ANYTHING SPECIFIC...

The pcm compares a a "front" speed sensor to the trannies rear speed....a slip speed over about 200 rpm will trip an 1870 ...(meaning the front is running faster than the rear).
In short,it could be anything between the tourqe converterand the tailshaft.


And people think we have it easy with scanners to read codes.....
