Shift Solenoids - A, B, C, and D
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Four On/Off shift solenoids allow the powertrain control module (PCM) to control shift scheduling.
- The solenoids are two-way, normally open style.
- The shift solenoids (SSA, SSB, SSC, and SSD) provide gear selection by controlling the pressures of the shift valves.
- SSD is also used to apply and release the coast clutch.
