Solenoid Body

NOTE: If the solenoid body identification and strategy does not match the solenoid body information in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.

The solenoid body contains 7 solenoids, 5 shift solenoids (Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB), Shift Solenoid C (SSC), Shift Solenoid D (SSD) and Shift Solenoid E (SSE)), TCC solenoid and LPC solenoid. The Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor is also located in the solenoid body. The solenoid body is serviced as an assembly.

The solenoid body has a unique strategy data file that must be downloaded to the PCM. There is a 7-digit solenoid body identification and a 13-digit solenoid body strategy for each solenoid body. Any time a new solenoid body is installed or the transaxle is installed, the scan tool must be used to get the solenoid body strategy data file and download it into the PCM.

If the PCM is replaced and the PCM data cannot be inhaled or exhaled, the solenoid body identification and solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM.
