Pinpoint Test A : Transmission Control Solenoids

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Refer to Transmission Controls - 8F57 for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    If the power circuit to the transmission solenoids fails open, then all solenoids are failed electrically off. Check for an open, short to ground or the transmission connector disconnected. The 8F24/57 transmissions utilize 5 shift solenoids (A, B, C, E, F) that are linear force solenoids (Solenoid D is for the selectable one way clutch). Unlike previous shift solenoids they are mechanical in nature meaning no transmission fluid passes through them. CIDASs use an armature pin assembly that moves a control valve in the main control valve body to control and apply hydraulic fluid pressure. Each clutch (A, B, C, E, F) has a corresponding shift solenoid (A, B, C, E, F) that is directly proportional in that zero current equals zero pressure and maximum current equals maximum pressure. Since there is no pressure with zero current, none of the clutch packs are able to engage if the power is interrupted to the shift solenoids.
