Re: 3T40 Autmatic Transmission suddenly won't engage Drive or Reverse

.....well...a test can be sone to verify if problem is in or out of transmission.
As said, the ON command comes from the computer. But the solenoid is connected this way: one of the wires is +12V...ALWAYS present with key ON. THis is normal. The other wire , other side of the solenoid coil, is GROUNDED by the computer to activate TCC. There is a remote possibility that the ground is made inside the transmission...faulty/chaffed wiring, as I say, very remote possibility. THis can be tested with an ohmmeter, one probe on either of the 2 wires of the transmission TCC connector and the other probe on ground/transmission body: a low ohm reading (0 to 30 ohms)would tell a ground fault inside the transmission. Open Ohm reading or very high ohm reading which is without a consequence (possible through lightly conducting fluid) tells everything iselectrically OK inside.
