* Slipping or delayed shifting
*Check Engine light comes on
* Limp-mode or emergency mode
* Noise, vibration or shock when shifting gears
Causes of malfunction of the automatic transmission solenoid loop:
* Broken or damaged harness
* Poor contact due to corrosion or contamination
* Malfunction of solenoids
* Problems with ECU solenoids
Diagnosis of a malfunction of the automatic transmission solenoid loop:
Diagnosis of a malfunction in the automatic transmission solenoid loop should be carried out by a qualified specialist. The diagnosis usually includes:
* Scan Trouble Codes (DTC)
* Visual inspection of harness and solenoids
* Resistance and voltage measurement
Automatic transmission solenoid loop repair:
If the automatic transmission solenoid cable is damaged or malfunctioning, it may require replacement. Repairs usually include:
* Automatic transmission dismantling
* Disconnecting the harness from the solenoids and the ECU
* Replacing a faulty harness
* Automatic transmission reinstallation
* Reset ECU adaptive data
Cost of replacing the automatic transmission solenoid cable
