Transmission solenoids help control the flow of fluid inside many automatic transmissions and play an important role in how and when the transmission shifts. When a solenoid or its related electrical circuit develops a problem, you may experience hard or delayed shifts, erratic shifting, a warning light or a vehicle that goes into a reduced-power or limited-operation mode.
A trouble code mentioning a solenoid does not necessarily mean replacing that solenoid will solve the problem. Wiring, electrical connections, hydraulic issues and internal transmission problems can sometimes produce similar results.
