Ford services the old sensor by providing the new one with the updated connector shell and instructions for replacing it. If you don’t already have the 1995 and up range senor, you will need to purchase it. US Shift sells the updated range sensor as well as Ford.
CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION) Step 1: Ground Splice the ground wires (Pins 15 & 16 Black) from the Quick 2 into the main ECU (Engine Control Unit) ground wire. Do NOT connect the ground wires to sheet metal or other ground sources.

CONNECTING THE ESSENTIALS (CARBURETED AND MECHANICALLY-INJECTED DIESEL) Step 1: Ground Connect the ground wire (Pin 15 Black) from the Quick 2 directly to the battery ground post or negative battery cable. Do NOT connect the ground wire to sheet metal or other ground sources.

Step 4: Transmission Connectors Connect the Solenoid, PRNDL, and TSS cables to the transmission. Additionally, connect the Neutral Safety Switch and the Backup Lamp Switch (See page 16). An output shaft speed sensor, a VSS, or an electronic speedo can be used for speed input. Step 5: Optional Features Connect any extra features you wish to use.
SETTING UP THE QUICK 2 Step 6: Calibration Verify that the correct calibration is loaded on the Quick 2. A standard calibration specific to your order is loaded before shipment. However, if the transmission configuration has changed since the order was placed, you'll need to connect the Quick 2 to a Windows PC and install the Shiftware Tuning Software, which can be...

If needed, you can manually adjust TPS values by choosing “Adjust Idle” or “Adjust WOT” in the TPS setup menu. Once the TPS calibration procedure is completed, the values are permanently stored in the controller and will be active for every tune written. TPS values displayed within individual tunes are then irrelevant.
NOTES ON INSTALLATION If any error messages or unexpected characters are displayed, refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this manual for detailed explanations. General Installation The Quick 2 unit should be mounted within the passenger compartment of the vehicle in a protected location.

Adaptation for Factory-Equipped Transmissions It is possible to use the Quick 2 controller in a vehicle which was originally equipped with one of the intended transmissions. This could be done in conjunction with an engine management system upgrade that no longer supports the transmission.
OPTIONAL FEATURES Speedometer Output We have provided an adjustable speed signal output on the tan wire on pin 12 of the vehicle connector that can be used to drive an electronic speedometer. Use of this output signal is not necessary, but it can be helpful if your speedometer can not be driven correctly from another source.
Page 19
Engine RPM Signal Input The engine RPM signal input on the yellow lead (pin 7) can be connected to a digital tachometer output from an engine computer or the tachometer output from an MSD ignition or similar CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) system, but NEVER to the coil outputs of a CDI system like MSD.
BUILT-IN DISPLAY The second generation built-in display of the Quick 2 is easier to use and more intuitive. It provides useful information, such as current speed, gear, transmission temperature, and TCC lock status, along with any fault messages. Using the menus, you’ll be able to access many of the same options found in Shiftware.

Speed Sensor = This menu allows you to choose your speed sensor type and configure its details such as speedometer drive gear teeth, driven gear teeth, and pulses per revolution. Rotating the knob in this screen changes the speed sensor type. Available speed sensor types will vary depending on the current transmission type.

Override = There are several options in this menu which are useful when troubleshooting. “Line Prs” can be used to override line pressure manually. Use this only if you were instructed to do so by a Baumann Electronic Controls technician. “TCC Sol”...
SHIFTWARE Introduction Using the Shiftware software allows you to modify the way your Quick 2 Transmission Control System behaves. You can customize shift-points as well as monitor and diagnose the Quick 2 unit in real-time. Setup To create a calibration for the Quick 2, it is best to start with one of the standard calibrations which are included with the software.
Page 28
Customize The main window is where all of the shift points and line pressure editing is done. The graph displays the up-shift and down-shift speeds in relation to throttle position for each shift. It also displays the line pressure & firmness curve in relation to throttle position.
Page 29
If Select Pairs Together is enabled, then the corresponding down-shift point will be automatically selected along with the up-shift point. This can be turned off by clicking the checkbox on the right. You can select multiple points by holding CTRL while clicking the points or a range of points by holding SHIFT and clicking the two points on each end.
Writing a Calibration to the Quick 2 For the changes you've made to take effect on the Quick 2 controller, you first must write the calibration to the unit. Connect the Quick 2 to your computer using a standard USB cord (Type A to Type B). Click the Write Calibration button on the toolbar to write the calibration to the controller.
TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR MESSAGES WARNING! If the transmission does not begin to operate correctly within the first few feet of the road test, STOP immediately, check the troubleshooting guide, and call Baumann Electronic Controls if you need assistance. In some cases, just a few blocks of operation with low fluid pressure can destroy a transmission.

TCC Solenoid overcurrent error An over-current condition was detected on the torque converter clutch pressure solenoid. A short circuit may be present in the solenoid circuit. The controller will attempt to disable the TCC solenoid until the ignition is turned off. EPC (PCS) Solenoid overcurrent error An over-current condition was detected on the line pressure control solenoid.

Coast Clutch Solenoid circuit shorted The coast clutch solenoid resistance measured too low during the power-on solenoid check. The controller will attempt to disable the coast clutch solenoid until the ignition is turned off. Refer to the data display screen in the diagnostic menu to see the measured solenoid resistance.
