10R80 stuck in tow mode

[F100Raptor]

Curious of any others have had issue with a 10R80 stuck in tow mode? If so what was the fix?

Not the tow haul button or circuit.

I’ve not seen this myself, nor can I remember reading of it here. Dare I suggest FORSCAN, check for DTC’s?

Only thing I’ve seen is a Raptor being towed by a motor home and his raptor caught on fire when in tow mode, can’t remember the specifics on that , but there was some issue with the transmission. I’m guessing you’re talking about that type of “tow mode”

Try disconnecting the battery.

I actually have Ford IDS. No codes for TCM. No check engine light.

Yes, No indication on dash cluster but obvious stuck in Tow Mode. It should go to normal mode each time key is cycled. I typed it into google and seems a common issue with F150 in general.

I actually ran full scan, I reflashed the transmission, instrument cluster, pcm and bcm to as built. I tested circuit and checked PIDS to make sure the Tow button is working. M mode and - + buttons work fine.

Transmission works great otherwise.

I think its hurting my MPG by quite a bit also. Had hoped for better than 22-25

You didn't lock out some gears?

No. Big diff between locking out gears and stuck in tow mode

Hope you get it figured out! In the meantime quit complaining if your getting up to 25 mpg in that old truck!
