4.0 Troubleshooting

This section shows how to troubleshoot the transmission solenoids/internal harness connections via the TCU main connector C12. Set your multi-meter to read resistance and probe between the indicated terminals. Caution: Be careful not to damage the terminals in the connector with the multi-meter probes.

A short, open or resistance reading outside of the specification indicates a problem that needs to be investigated further. Note: The letters and numbers used to identify the terminals are molded to the connector body.

4.1 Troubleshooting 4L60E/4L65E Solenoids

Main TCU Connector

 

Shift Solenoid A – 20-30 Ohms at 70 degs F.  Check across pins 1 and 59.
