Pinpoint Test A: Control Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Refer to the TRANSMISSION VEHICLE HARNESS CONNECTOR  illustration preceding these pinpoint tests.
NOTE: REFER TO THE TRANSMISSION INTERNAL HARNESS CONNECTOR .
NOTE: Read and record all DTCs. All TR position Sensor and VSS DTCs must be repaired before entering Output State Control (OSC) - Service Bay Mode.
NOTE: Use the PID Chart for available diagnostic PIDs. Refer to OUTPUT STATE CONTROL (OSC) MODE .
  1. A1 ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Select PARK.
    • Check to make sure the transmission harness connector is fully seated, terminals are fully engaged in connector and in good condition before proceeding.
    • Connect the diagnostic tool.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: TCM Module.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Active Command Modes.
    • Monitor the appropriate PID for the solenoid SSPC-x or TCC being tested, refer to the PID chart in Output State Control (OSC) Mode .
    • CAN THE PIDS BE MONITORED OR SOLENOIDS BE COMMANDED? 
    1. YES  REMAIN in Active Command Diagnostic Mode. GO to A2.
    2. NO  REPEAT procedure to enter Active Command Diagnostic Mode. If the vehicle did not enter Active Command Diagnostic Mode, REFER to the appropriate INTRODUCTION article for diagnosis of the powertrain control module (PCM).
  2. A2 SOLENOID FUNCTIONAL TEST 
    • Select the appropriate solenoid that is to be tested, SSx_AMP or TCC_AMP.
    • Select value: 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 or 1.0 amp.
    • Select another value: 0 - 1.0 amp.
    • Cancel and return to normal operation.
    • Press "SEND".
    • DOES THE PRESSURE AND CURRENT READINGS CHANGE AND MATCH THE COMMAND? 
    1. YES  CLEAR DTCs.
    2. NO  GO to A3.
  3. A3 CHECK FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE 
    • Disconnect the transmission vehicle harness connector from the transmission bulkhead connector.
    • Inspect the harness connector for damaged pins.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between pins 7, 20 and 24 harness side and ground.
    • IS THE VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 10 VOLTS? 
    1. YES  GO to A4.
    2. NO  REPAIR the circuit. TEST for normal operation.
  4. A4 ELECTRICAL SIGNAL CHECK 
    • Measure the voltage between pins 7, 20, 24 and pins 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 12 harness side.
    • Activate each of the pressure control solenoids while monitoring the current (amps) readings.
    • Select the appropriate solenoid that is to be tested, SSx_AMP or TCC_AMP.
    • Select value: 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 or 1.0 amp.
    • Select another value: 0 - 1.0 amp.
    • Cancel and return to normal operation.
    • DOES THE CURRENT AND SOLENOID STATE CHANGE? 
    1. YES  GO to A5.
    2. NO  REPAIR an open or short in the harness, or INSTALL a new PCM.
  5. A5 CHECK THE INTERNAL HARNESS 
    • Drain the transmission fluid.
    • Remove the transmission fluid pan.
    • Disconnect: Affected Solenoid.
    • Measure the resistance between pins 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 12 transmission bulkhead side and pin 2 at each associated solenoid connector.
    • Measure the resistance between pins 1, 20 and 24 transmission bulkhead side and pin 1 at each associated solenoid connector.
    • ARE THE RESISTANCES LESS THAN 0.5 OHMS? 
    1. Yes  GO to A6.
    2. No  INSTALL a new harness. GO to  A7.
  6. A6 CHECK FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between pins 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 and 12 harness side and ground.
    • IS THE RESISTANCE GREATER THAN 10,000 OHMS? 
    1. YES  INSTALL a new harness.
    2. NO  GO to A7.
  7. A7 CHECK THE SOLENOID RESISTANCE AT THE SOLENOID 
    • Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 at each solenoid.
    • IS THE RESISTANCE BETWEEN 4.1-4.7 OHMS? 
    1. YES  GO to A8.
    2. NO  INSTALL a new solenoid if not within specification. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  8. A8 CHECK THE SOLENOID FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 at each solenoid and ground.
    • IS THE RESISTANCE LESS THAN 10,000 OHMS? 
    1. YES  INSTALL a new solenoid body assembly.
    2. NO  INSTALL a new PCM. If the condition PERSISTS, REFER to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM  or diagnosis of pressure concerns. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
