  • Dirty transmission fluid
  • Faulty pressure control solenoid valve SL3
  • Pressure control solenoid valve SL3 harness is open or shorted
  • Pressure control solenoid valve SL3 circuit poor electrical connection

Code Tech Notes

When a transmission solenoid is malfunctioned, in most cases the problem is not the electrical part of the solenoid; the problem is foreign material obstructing the mechanical function of the solenoid or the flow of the fluid through the transmission valve body. If the transmission fluid is dirty, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid and if possible removing the transmission pan for further diagnosis. Excessive debris or metal particles on the transmission pan could be an indication that there is a mechanical transmission failure and that the transmission will need to be rebuilt or replaced.
