Pinpoint Test A: Transmission Control Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Refer to the TRANSMISSION VEHICLE HARNESS CONNECTOR  illustration within the TRANSMISSION CONNECTOR LAYOUTS  procedure.
NOTE: Refer to the TRANSMISSION LEADFRAME CONNECTOR  illustration within the TRANSMISSION CONNECTOR LAYOUTS  procedure.
NOTE: If the scan tool is unable to access the transmission PIDs, refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) (SECTION 0) .
NOTE: Read and record all DTCs.
NOTE: Without a voltage signal return to the PCM, the Transmission Solenoid Power Control (TSPC) relay is commanded OFF. By using a fused jumper between a transmission solenoid control circuit and the signal return circuit, the TSPC relay circuit will supply power to the transmission solenoids when the ignition is cycled from OFF to ON. Do not use a solenoid control circuit that may be at fault, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS  for a fault listing.
  1. A1 CHECK THE SOLENOID POWER CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Transmission C1575  .
    • Inspect the connector for damaged or pushed out terminals, corrosion, loose wires and missing or damaged seals.
    • NOTE: Do not use a solenoid control circuit that may be at fault. Failure to jump pin 5 to a known good solenoid control circuit can cause incorrect diagnostic results. For additional information, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS  for a fault listing.

      Using the chart, connect a fused jumper between one of the 7 solenoid control circuit pins on transmission vehicle harness C1575  and C1575-5  .
