Replaced transmission solenoid and now getting a check transmission code e

[Rsnell]

Its a 2004 ls and I replace the transmission solenoid, unhooked the battery cable to clear the pcm. Now I'm getting a check transmission with the letter E where park would be. I didn't have the code before. Any suggestions?

Recheck your work, possible connector, delicate wires, something didn't go back together properly. Faulty solenoid is another suspect, operating out of range.

Getting the specific OBDII codes would likely help. There will be one or more five character codes, probably starting with "P" in this case.

Probably broke the connector like I did. Bought a new connector. don-ohio ^)

It's possible that you have a bad new solenoid assembly, but it is much more likely that you don't have the connector on top of the transmission correctly mated to the solenoid assembly inside the transmission. These are the codes that you would expect if the solenoid assembly weren't plugged in.

Also, these are your unknown codes.

P0755 - Shift Solenoid "B"
P0960 - Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Control Circuit/Open
P0964 - Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Control Circuit/Open
P0968 - Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Control Circuit/Open

That's what I would think, but plug slid right in it and the bolt tightened so not sure how that could be it. I even took it completely back out of the car and put it back in and no difference.

 

[don-ohio]

They're very delicate,small wires with only 6 or seven strands of copper. You can order another connector for 80 bucks,Ebay motorcraft, OR you can take a chance. don-ohio ^)

 

[Telco]

Let me guess Don, you put some pressure on it to push the connector on, and that's what broke it.

 

[don-ohio]

Yep! Pressure on plastic parts will do it every time,Telco! LOL! don-ohio ^)

I'm going to check it again today, but I didn't put any pressure on the plug, I let the bolt pull it down. Could the plug not be tight enough? I snugged it pretty tight. How did you manage to replace the plug? There is hardly any room there to work.

 

[Rsnell]

Well, I just looked up the plug on eBay and noticed it has a couple of orings on it to keep moisture out.I didn't notice that when I took mine loose because of the confined area. I'm going to remove the plug and lube the orings up and put it back together. Maybe they're dry and preventing the plug from fully seating.

 

[joegr]

I would seat the connector before tightening the bolt.

 

[Rsnell]

Well that fixed it! I lubed up the orings and retighted. I just didn't have tightened all the way up. Shifts perfect now, no codes. Thanks everyone!

 

[don-ohio]

You are a very fortunate fellow! Good for you! don-ohio ^)

Hi!

What were the symptoms before replacing the solenoid pack?

Best regarsd!

I'm having erratic shifting, like a bad engagement 1 to 5 :/ , I'm reading about the solenoid pack and PCM as culprit.

I did thhe transgo shift kit ,the overdrive servo replace and some internal parts(overdrive band strut where found in pan/loose band lock nut,no metal chips or burned bands), it was running so smooth for months after repairs (-.-)! now this bs .

 

[grizzlyls]

Ouch, you didnt replace the solenoid with the other stuff? Well, in my case that and the transgo solved it. But as you see with Yabadaba it was the PCM.

Guess you should roll the dice and pick one. Cant go wrong IMO both are weak links, I personally wonder when I might have to do my PCM.

No, i didn't replace the solenoid pack,

i'll feedback soon as posible.
