Identification Tag Location










Transmission Identification Tag










When servicing the transmission, use the transmission identification tag located on top of the transmission case.

Original Solenoid Body Tag










The solenoid body strategy is a file that is programmed into the PCM to control the shift, LPC (Line Pressure Control) and TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) solenoids to prevent harsh shifts. The solenoid body tag on the transmission case contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 7-digit solenoid body identification.

Replacement Solenoid Body Tag










Any time a new solenoid body is installed, a new solenoid body strategy file is downloaded into the PCM using the scan tool. A replacement solenoid body tag is supplied with the new solenoid body which contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 7-digit solenoid body identification. The new tag is placed over the original solenoid body tag.

Solenoid Body Identification and Strategy










If the solenoid body strategy printed on the solenoid body connector does not match the solenoid body tag, a new solenoid body must be installed and the solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM or harsh shifts will result.

Solenoid Band Number





The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. The solenoids can be replaced separately, but only with a replacement solenoid with a injector nozzle and band number that matches the solenoid being replaced. When solenoid(s) are replaced, the new solenoid band number must match the old solenoid band number. The band number is the last number in the group on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
