I had talked to Erty, and had given him the wrong ecu error, i said 0611, but it was 1106 (11 Slow) (6 Fast). Damn!!! I think i really need to get my transmission fluid change now, I had another 1500 miles to go before I need to change it. Other suggestions? JayNotofThisworld, you reading this?

Since DTCs 1103 to 1106 deal with the transmission, there is info on the 1106 DTC. Everywhere you see "4th gear", simply substitute "1st gear".

Diagnostic Trouble Code 1106 means "Automatic Transmission 4th gear malfunction."

This malfunction is detected when the automatic transmission does not shift into fourth gear or the torque converter clutch does not lock up as instructed by the Transmission Control Unit. The factory service manual lists these possible
causes...

- Shift solenoid A
- Shift solenoid B
- Overrun clutch solenoid valve
- Line pressure solenoid valve
- Each clutch
- Hydraulic control circuit
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve

You can do some troubleshooting without opening the automatic transmission. Find the harnesses which emanate from the transaxle. One of them terminates in a brown plastic connector with eight pins. This is connector F42, located (approximately) above the transaxle case and below the black plastic engine air intake ductwork. With the engine off, disconnect F42. You want to measure the transmission side of F42. Hold the connector such that the plastic latch is at the top. You should now see two rows of four terminals. These are numbered (top row, left to right) 1 - 4, and (bottom row, left to right) 5 - 8. Make resistance measurements between a clean ground and the following terminals:

#1, Shift solenoid B, 20 - 40 ohms.
#2, Shift solenoid A, 20 - 40 ohms.
#3, Overrun clutch solenoid valve, 20 - 40 ohms.
#4, Line pressure solenoid valve, 2.5 - 5 ohms.
#5, Torque converter clutch solenoid valve, 10 - 20 ohms.

There is also a "bench test" procedure for testing these solenoids with a 12 volt supply such as a car battery. However, this requires removal of the shift solenoid valve assembly. I don't know if you want to get involved with that.

 

I'm getting the same code but I can't seem to find this connector. I removed the battery and some of the black plastic air intake (the big piece that leads up to the air filter housing). I found some connectors but none seem to be of eight wires and brown. I found a green eight wire one right next to the starter. Please help.

 

Just follow the harness from where it enters the trans, right next to the valve body.
