Thanks for the helpful video. I'm going to use it to inspect a M1097A2 that I'm hoping to buy.

I've got an M1165 that won't go over 30mph. So followed all your steps exactly. My wait light doesn't flash. My trans light doesn't blink. Instead I get the regular routine of the wait light being solid for a couple seconds as if it's running the glow plugs, and the trans light never turns on/blinks at all. So I'm not sure how to troubleshoot from there with the jumper cable in slots A & E. I tried this by keeping that TCM box plugged in like you did, and also tried it with the main cable unplugged to that TCM box. I get the same results trying both. Any suggestions? It's in park, with parking break on, & tried various jump cables, no luck. I really don't understand why the glow plug wait light isn't flashing with that glow plug controller disconnected under the hood???

I wish I knew more and could help but I really don't know what to suggest.

check if the trans circuit breaker is tripped (under/behind passenger seat near battery box) if not check the resistance on the circuit breaker. if thats good check the wires for ohms and voltage then go from there

How do you clear the codes? Can you disconnect / reconnect TCM or simply disconnect batteries? Or do you need scan tool?

Fortunately, I didn't have to get that far, so I'm unsure of the answer. I found some great information though on the GearReport site. Maybe the answer can be found there.
