Fuel Injection Pump Lever (FIPL) Sensor

The FIPL sensor is used on 7.3L vehicles with E40D automatic transmission. FIPL is mounted to fuel injection pump and actuated by throttle lever. FIPL transmits a signal, proportional to level of fuel delivery, to the Transmission Electronic Control Assembly (TECA) for assisting in transmission shift and torque capacity.

If FIPL circuit malfunctions, TECA will recognize erroneous signals and provide high capacity operating mode to protect transmission from damage. High capacity operating mode includes singular shift schedule at maximum throttle valve pressure, resulting in harsh shifting.
