Shift Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This transmission uses 2 types of solenoids, normally low and normally high. Normally low solenoids provide hydraulic pressure proportional to supplied current. A normally low solenoid will output very low pressure with low (50 mA) or no current, while it will supply high pressure with high current (850 mA). Normally high solenoids provide pressure inversely-proportional to supplied current. Normally high solenoids provide full output of pressure with low or no current (50 mA) and very low pressure with high current (850 mA).
