Swapping Pressure Control Solenoid A and Pressure Control Solenoid B will
prevent the unit from engaging in drive; it will engage in manual low.
Swapping Shift Solenoid A and Shift Solenoid B will cause the unit to shift into
neutral on the 1–2 shift.

Checking the Shift Pattern
Here’s how to connect your signal monitor to the transaxle diagnostic connector,
to check the signals from the computer to the transaxle.

Forcing the Shift
Here’s the manual shift pattern you can expect with the transaxle in failsafe:
Here’s how to force the transaxle to shift electronically:
First Gear 1 0 A M P
Second Gear 1 0 A M P
Third Gear
1 0 A M P
Fourth Gear
1 0 A

solenoid A — solenoid B
remains de-energized and
solenoid C remains energized.
Shift Solenoid C isn’t needed for 4th gear once the unit has shifted into 3rd gear,
phase 2.
