Automatic Transmission/Transaxle: Application and ID

IDENTIFICATION TAGS

When servicing the automatic transaxle, see the identification tag located on the case.
Identification Tags










When servicing the automatic transaxle, use the transaxle identification tag located on top of the transaxle case.
Transaxle Identification Tag










Original Solenoid Body Tag










The solenoid body strategy is a file that is programmed into the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the shift, line pressure control (LPC) and torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoids to prevent harsh shifts. The solenoid body tag on the transaxle case contains the thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy and the seven-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 thirteen-digit solenoid body strategy and the seven-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 stamped on the solenoid body leadframe does not match the solenoid body tag, a new solenoid body must be installed or harsh shifts will result.
Solenoid Band Number




The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. When solenoids are replaced, the new solenoid band number must match the old solenoid band number. The band number is the last digit of the number stamped on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
