Ignition OFF, remove the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
Verify the pressure changes for all solenoids when performing the solenoid test. Refer to Control Solenoid Valve and Transmission Control Module Assembly Solenoid Performance Test .
- If the pressure does not change
  Replace the Q8 Control Solenoid Valve Assembly.
- Go to next step: If the pressure changes
Verify the mechanical conditions listed below do not exist. Repair or replace as necessary.
