Overdrive Switch: Testing and Inspection

46RE - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OVERDRIVE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The overdrive off switch, valve body solenoid, case connectors and related wiring can all be tested with a 12 volt test lamp or a volt/ohmmeter.

Check continuity of each component when diagnosis indicates this is necessary.

Switch and solenoid continuity should be checked whenever the transmission fails to shift into fourth gear range.
