1993-95 Ford Taurus SHO ATX EPC Pressure Riser Mod Wiring Diagram

Wiring schematic for a 1993-95 Taurus SHO ATX EPC pressure riser mod: two switches with 33 and 15 ohm resistors on the EPC signal return line let the user select normal, firmer, or extremely firm shift firmness.

This document is a wiring diagram for an "EPC Pressure Riser Mod" applicable to 1993-95 Ford Taurus SHO models with the ATX automatic transmission. The mod inserts two switched resistors into the EPC (Electronic Pressure Control) signal return circuit, identified as the WHT/YEL wire at the transmission connector. The schematic shows two parallel branches: SW1 in series with RES1 (a 33 ohm, 10W resistor) and SW2 in series with RES2 (a 15 ohm, 10W resistor), both tied into the EPC RET line. A legend defines the abbreviations and component values. A switch position/effect table explains the results: both switches open gives normal shift firmness; only SW1 closed gives firmer shifts; only SW2 closed gives very firm shifts; both closed gives extremely firm shifts, with a caution that the last setting is not recommended for extended use. An exploded-view drawing of the transmission connector indicates which pin carries the EPC RET signal. The design is credited to Ben Bentley (original design) and edited by Adam Parrott. A reader learns the resistor values, wire color, tap location, and how each switch combination alters automatic transmission line pressure and shift firmness.

Frequently asked questions

What vehicles does this EPC pressure riser mod apply to?
The diagram states it is for the 1993-95 ATX SHO (automatic-transmission Taurus SHO).
What resistor values are used in the EPC pressure riser mod?
RES1 is a 33 ohm 10W resistor (with SW1) and RES2 is a 15 ohm 10W resistor (with SW2).
Which wire does the mod tap into?
The EPC signal return (EPC RET), which is the WHT/YEL wire at the transmission connector.
How do the switch positions affect shifting?
Both switches open = normal firmness; only SW1 closed = firmer shifts; only SW2 closed = very firm shifts; both switches closed = extremely firm shifts (not recommended for extended use).
Who designed this mod?
Original design © Ben Bentley, edited by Adam Parrott.
