Shift Solenoid A Control Circuit Low

Where it lives

For P0973, the solenoid sits on the circuit this code reports. The description of P0973 reports a fault at the solenoid.

Check these first

• A short to ground in the shift solenoid A circuit
• A shift solenoid A coil that is failing
• A chafed wire in the shift solenoid A harness
• A backed out pin at the solenoid A connector

What to do next

1. Read shift solenoid A voltage on a scan tool
2. Check the circuit for a short to ground
3. Measure shift solenoid A resistance
4. Inspect the connector pins
5. Replace the solenoid if the coil is off spec
6. Clear the code and retest
