DTC

The computer (ECM) controls the ON/Off combination of the shift solenoids S1 (A) and S2 (B) to shift
between 1st gear and overdrive (O/D). If an electrical failure occurs in one of these two solenoids, the
computer continues to control the other solenoid to
allow the vehicle to operate as smoothly as possible
while in Fail Safe mode. The ECM also turns off the
SL (E) solenoid during Fail Safe. Should both solenoids
S1 (A) and S2 (B) fail, shifting must be done manually.
Figures 11 and 12 give typical solenoid codes and solenoid malfunctioning shift strategies.

Figure 13

To test shift solenoids S1 (A), S2 (B) or SL (E) for
sticking, force 71 psi of compressed air into the snout
(Figure 13, arrow); it should not leak. Energizing the
solenoids should cause them to open and allow air
flow. Resistance on these three shift solenoids should be
11–15 ohm at 68˚F, and resistance on the SLT solenoid
should be 5.0–5.6 ohm at 68˚F.
Some valve bodies have an accumulator piston assembly (Figure 14) that can be mistaken for a solenoid. This
is actually an accumulator for lockup and should be
checked to ensure the piston can move freely.
