Pinpoint Test A : Transmission Control Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Refer to Transmission Controls - 6R80 for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    When the electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for terminal condition, corrosion and contamination. Also inspect the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or install new components as required. Power is routed through the Transmission Solenoid Power Control (TSPC) relay (inside the PCM) to all transmission solenoids. If the power circuit to the transmission solenoids or the TSPC relay fails open, then all solenoids are failed electrically OFF. CHECK for open, short to ground or the transmission connector disconnected. The TSPC relay disables power to the transmission solenoids when certain transmission DTCs are set

  2. A1 CHECK THE SOLENOID POWER CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

    NOTE: This pinpoint test is written to address all shift solenoid electrical faults. For each test step, only the circuits related to the DTC retrieved during the KOEO test need to be tested.
