Any time an electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for pin
condition, corrosion and contamination. Also inspect the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or
install a new connector as required.
Shift Solenoids Pre-Diagnosis
Use the following shift solenoid operation information when carrying out Pinpoint Test A.
a When a manual pull- in occurs above a calibrated speed the transmission will downshift from the
higher gear until the vehicle speed drops below this calibrated speed.
EC = Electronically controlled.
HD = Hydraulically disabled.
