Testing the TORQLOC (without an exhaust brake)

With the module pulled out enough to be easily visible while driving, take the vehicle
for a drive. Turn the brake on and first check that the LED light comes on once the
vehicle has surpassed the set speed. On some Ford trucks the LED will only come
on above the set speed when the throttle is returned to idle. If the LED fails to
illuminate after the set speed, check the dip-switch settings, the VSS wire color and
the connection to that wire, the wire is on the right terminal at the module, and make
sure there is a good power source and ground for the module.
Cruise at a constant speed above the set speed of the module, turn TorqLoc switch
on to the Up (Red) position and let off the throttle. The lock-up should stay
engaged. Turn TorqLoc switch on to the Middle (White) position and lock-up
clutch should disengage. Cruise again at a constant speed and turn TorqLoc
switch on to the Up (Red) position, then let off the throttle and let the vehicle slow
down below the set speed, making sure the lock-up disengages once below the set
speed. If these situations fail to occur, check the wiring to module, and check
terminal locations on the module.
On Dodges, after starting up the truck and starting drive, the O/D off light should
have illuminated (if that option was hooked up). With the brake turned on, drive
until overdrive is reached then let off the throttle. With the brake and lock-up clutch
engaged, push the overdrive button to check that the lock-up clutch disengages and
the transmission shifts out of overdrive. If this fails to occur, check the O/D wire
color and connection to that wire and the wire in on the right terminal at the module.
If any of the functions still fail to occur, phone our technical service department for
further assistance. If it is necessary to bypass the Torqloc, disconnect the Blue and
Yellow Torqloc wires from the factory TCC wire which was cut to install the Torqloc
& reconnect the factory wires back together.
Note that if you have installed the unit on a Ford and you have a higher autoloc
unlock speed in overdrive than in drive, you most likely have a coast clutch problem
in the transmission. A BD Pressureloc can help to prevent this.
After final wiring and testing has been done on the vehicle, mark the label on the
module for the application (vehicle and kit part number).
Secure module to a
harness or bracket under dash with tie wraps.
