  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Reduced fuel efficiency

  • Stalling or hesitation during acceleration

Possible Causes:

  • Failed shift solenoid E

  • Faulty wiring or connections in the circuit

  • Low transmission fluid level

  • Dirty or contaminated transmission fluid

  • Failed transmission control module (TCM)

Related Parts:

  • Transmission Shift Sensor: Gear Shift Sensor communicates the position the gear shifted to. Problems lead to difficulty in shifting gears

Possible Solutions:
