Solenoid Body Identification (ID) Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using the scan tool, select Powertrain, Transmission and Transmission Solenoid Body ID from the tool box icon and follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.

    The solenoid body ID screen displays solenoid body ID information:

    • Solenoid body ID - 7-digit
    • Solenoid body strategy - 13-digit

      The next screen displays the current solenoid body ID and strategy data file stored in the PCM. If the solenoid body strategy field is blank, the module contains a partial transmission solenoid body strategy. This is due to a corrupt or missing file at the time the programmable parameters were completed.

  2. Compare the solenoid body ID and strategy (if available) to the solenoid body service tag or the replacement solenoid body tag located on top of the transaxle case.

    1 - Thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy
    2 - Seven-digit solenoid body ID
  3. If the solenoid body ID and strategy on the scan tool match the solenoid body service tag or replacement tag, then the solenoid body ID and strategy are correct for this transaxle and a solenoid body strategy download is not required. If the solenoid body service tag or replacement tag is missing or damaged so that it is not readable or does not match the ID or strategy on the scan tool, remove the main control cover, refer to Main Control Cover .

    The 7-digit ID number and the 13-digit strategy number are stamped on the solenoid body.

  4. CAUTION: If the solenoid body information does not match the module information, transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.
  5. Inspect the solenoid body ID and strategy stamped on the solenoid body and compare this to the solenoid body service tag on the transaxle case. If the solenoid body ID and strategy stamped on the solenoid body does not match the solenoid body service tag or if the solenoid body ID and strategy stamped on the solenoid body match the solenoid body service tag on the transaxle case but do not match the solenoid body ID and strategy numbers displayed on the scan tool, a solenoid body strategy data download is required.
