i got a code for the line pressure solenoid since the trans has been not working well.. has this happened to anyone else?

 

Happened to a friend of mine. It could be the solenoid but check the drop resistor first (mounted beside driver's side strut tower). If that's gone it'll likely throw the same code and it's way easier to change the resistor as opposed to dropping the tranny pan and pulling the valve body out.

 

i will check that first as soon as i get my car back... do u know how much he payed for it.. i called the stealer and they said $500

 

What?! Yikes. The drop resistor was like $50. The solenoid assembly around $300, I forget the exact amount. If you're lucky, it'll just be the resistor and you can change that yourself in 10 minutes. It's basically just undo a connector and plug the new one in.

 

yea i wish it's the resistor... i know that i disconnected it one and the mil light came on... but that was like 4 months ago adn i cleared the computer like 10 times... i dunno if that it or not?

 

You can buy the solenoids for like a 150.00+ hell i have a extra set of brand new ones i will sell ya, for 100.00. All you have to do is drop the pan and there right there. It is alot cheaper to do this yourself than take it to the dealership.

 

All you need to do to check the drop resistor is measure the resistance of it with a multimeter. It should be between 11.2 to 12.8 ohms, as per the FSM. If it's bad it'll likely be MUCH higher (ie-several orders of magnitude).

 

i have this code on mine and it bangs like crazy shifting from first to second. i will try the drop resistor im glad i saw this

 

put a new drop resistor in for 55 bucks shifts great and my code 1205 is gone i love this org.
