Well same issue. Not sure what the culprit is now.

you could try wireing it up kiggly mod or 2 switch style to eliminate valve body/solinoid issue. I'm sure its the first thing you did but I would also double check all the plugs and harness' and that the shift linkage is adjusted properly. Theh 2 plugs on top of the trans would be easy to miss or not get pluged in all the way.

I would check the solenoid resistance straight at the tcu, that way you make sure the whole circuit it good.


The best way is to load test the circuit because you could have one strand making contact in the harnessm but as soon as you put a load on it, it becomes a huge voltage drop.

How would one do this? I'm useless at electrical diagnosis. :redface:

Here is a link to the pinout of the tcu.

Ok, did some troubleshooting last night went through the guide in the manual and turns out 2 plugs were in the wrong place.

Switched them out and bam! car works as normal.
