Pinpoint Test F : Transmission Solenoid Power Control: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Transmission Solenoid Power Control 

Refer to Transmission Controls - 6F50/6F55 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation 

The transmission solenoid power control relay controls vehicle power to all solenoids. Power is routed through the transmission solenoid power control relay (inside the PCM) to all transmission solenoids. If the power circuit to the transmission solenoids or the transmission solenoid power control relay fails open, all solenoids are failed electrically off. Check for open, short to ground or the transmission connector disconnected. The transmission solenoid power control relay disables power to the transmission solenoids when certain transmission DTCs are set.

NOTE: Without a voltage signal return to the PCM, the transmission solenoid power control relay is commanded OFF. Using a fused jumper wire between a transmission solenoid control circuit and the signal return circuit, the transmission solenoid power control relay circuit supplies 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 DTC Chart: PCM  for a fault listing.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
