Main Control Valve Body - Solenoid Body Check: Disassembly

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford RV Cutaway, 2002 Ford Econoline, 2002 Ford E550 Super Duty, 2002 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2002 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Inspect and test the shift solenoids. GO to PINPOINT TEST A: SHIFT SOLENOIDS .
    NOTE: The solenoid body cannot be disassembled to clean and inspect for contamination. Contamination is a major source of solenoid body failure. Install a new solenoid body anytime contamination is evident.
  1. Clean and inspect the solenoid body.
    • Check the connector pins for corrosion and possible bent condition.
    • If large amounts of contamination are present a new solenoid body will need to be installed.
    • Remove O-ring and discard.
    • Install new O-ring and lubricate with petroleum jelly or equivalent.
