Definitely one of the best videos I've ever watched, great camera work and explaining everything, this was a great help in diagnosing shift solenoid (E) 3 lol, confused me if it meant electrical or what but watching your video showed me where it was and what I was looking for and how to do the job. Thank you!
Thanks Jeremy. Using my OBD scan tool I too received a P0770 solenoid e error! The mechanic suggested a transmission flush. Passed my inspection with no check light... Few days ago, check light is back on. So I am going to check the connections. But I'll probably need to order the solenoid 3 component. Thanks for posting this video. I'll be sure to update if my problem was resolved. Thanks 🤙
Thanks again for making this video. We know you're not a filming pro but it's movies like this that make UA-cam so awesome. Users sharing knowledge and their experiences. Very helpful. My 02 Sienna is throwing the P0773 code. Shift solenoid "E" my little code scanner says.
Thanks for the video. It's very informative. I followed your instructions and changed my solenoid. I didn't need to remove the battery or dipstick because I have skinny arms that can fit around all the junk.
JH I swear, you just saved my sorry ass big time with this video lolz. Gosh!!! I wish I can just give you 5 stars right now. You are awesome. Thanks a lot.
You're so welcome, Boca. It is entirely my pleasure. I enjoyed making the videos and enjoy even more hearing stories of saving people money. Mechanics can be so dishonest. Maybe they just don't know about the simple fix. Either way, it's good to avoid paying them thousands for unnecessary repairs.
Do you know what the 3rd pigtail goes to? There's the lock solenoid you're replacing, the neutral switch but what is the 3rd thing above the right neutral switch bolt? I thought it was shift solenoid 1 but in the service manual it shows 1 and 2 are inside the trans above the valve body. Thanks
Code 770 was cleared by topping off the transmission fluid. So, you might not need to do all of this. I still needed to for code 773. The tools are standard tools, like socket wrenches. Nothing fancy.
Thanks for sharing this I have had a hell of a time trying to find where this was located I have a delayed shift issue where my transmission isn't timing properly and my rpms will climb and won't shift until I let off the accelerator.
You had a great 3 part video. Unfortunately the part no 85420-20110 that was suppose to replace this solenoid was not correct. The #3 Solenoid E in my 99 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder only had ONE screw bolt and a plug that had wires that went through the opening to a switch inside the valve body of the transmission.
Doug Sawyer Wow. So some year/make/models of the same car are different? That's weird, right? Sorry it didn't work for you. Is there anything I can do to help? Maybe you can take the part you do have into the dealer to get a matching new one. This car has the California emission controls on it and an overdrive gear. Maybe yours is different in that regard? If you figure it out, let me know so I can add it to the description of these videos. Or, if you need me to get a part here and ship it to you, let me know too, but I don't see how that would help. It's not like you just can't get the part. It's the wrong part. Sorry, man, but good luck.
Different engine (v4 5fse vs v6 1mz-fe) and different transmission model. So yeah, different solenoids. The cal spec model should have the same solenoid.
this is just the video i am looking for. i have the same car with error P0770. i will attempt to do this, it seems easy. but i need to know what are the tools you used.
It wasn't easy. A mechanic friend of our family pointed to the part and said to change "that part". So, I took the car home and pulled that part out. I then carried it into a dealership and said that I needed one of these. The employee and I looked at several diagrams together and eventually found it.
There were no symptoms. The car was running just fine. But, the check engine light was on and, therefore, it wouldn't pass the emission test. Good luck fixing your car.
ok thank you, but the code detailed a few probable causes such as dirty transmission fluid, failed selonoid, bad wiring. what were the symptoms the car was having? i want to make sure mines relate thank you!!!
@@therandom5437 different engine and different transmission in the V6, also different transmission of it's automatic or manual. The solenoid part numbers are most likely different since they mount in different locations (inside vs outside).
I have a 2005 V6 3.0. My concern is my automatic transmission wont move forward when I put it on D mode when its cold. But after waiting for atleast 10 mins, I can drive it without a problem. No dtc found. Would you know which solenoid is it?
This sounds like the same issue I'm having. My car is the Chevy Prizm 1999. Chevrolet discontinued the Prizm. Although, both Corolla & Prizm were produced at the same auto plant! Anyways, I believe this would solve your problem. There should not be much of a change in a solenoid 3. Good luck 🤙
@@jasonl3185 I haven't drained or changed the transmission filter yet! Please get the second opinion from a mechanic you trust before ordering a part... So hopefully I don't have to remove the solenoid. I'm learning more about automobile engines myself. Peacefully stay Jason 🤙 -Jeff
I don't remember if I had to clear the codes or if it went away on its own. As a worst case, hopefully, you'll just have to clear the codes and then it won't come back. I hope this works for you.
@@jeremyhood I looked under the hood of my 2000 toyota camry LE, 4 cylinder. Should it work seeing that my car is only one year older than yours and is a 4 cylinder?

I’m having the same issue with my 2206 Lexus is250. Shift selonoid e, how did you know it was number3?
It wasn't easy. A mechanic friend of our family pointed to the part and said to change "that part". So, I took the car home and pulled that part out. I then carried it into a dealership and said that I needed one of these. The employee and I looked at several diagrams together and eventually found it.
I have a 99 camry when you put it in drive it will not go into gear but reverse works perfect
That's very strange. Are you getting any engine codes? Hopefully you are. If so, searching those online would be a good place to start.
There were no symptoms. The car was running just fine. But, the check engine light was on and, therefore, it wouldn't pass the emission test. Good luck fixing your car.
dose your car have O/D ??
ok thank you, but the code detailed a few probable causes such as dirty transmission fluid, failed selonoid, bad wiring. what were the symptoms the car was having? i want to make sure mines relate
thank you!!!
Can I ask you what the symptoms was that you needed to change this solenoid. My 2003 won't throw a code but it's shifting bad but not all the time
Might be the bushing from the shifter
There were no symptoms other than the check-engine light. I would have just ignored it, but that light has to be off to pass emissions.
Hi, is it the same up top install on 2001 3 liter camry?
I don't know. I'm sorry. Maybe somebody else does.
Hi, my Toyota Camry 1999 model won't move while in drive. Could it be the same problem
Oh no, that sounds like a much more serious problem. This problem only manifested with a check engine light.
Solenoid E = Solenoid SL = Solenoid 3. Also you're lucky, the v6 has the solenoids inside, so you need to drop the pan to access them.
nyetloki thank u
Oh dang! Yah, I probably would have had to take it into the shop for that.
Is it a different part number for the v6
@@therandom5437 different engine and different transmission in the V6, also different transmission of it's automatic or manual. The solenoid part numbers are most likely different since they mount in different locations (inside vs outside).
Thank you sir
I'm happy to help.
I have an 02 camry le v6 3.0. Car whines a wee bit high when starting and p0770 code came up. Justvtryong to not have to replace transmission
The sound when you start the car may be a belt that needs replacing.
Thanks for the info but that code does mean that solenoid does need to be replaced too right
@@michaelneel6832 I don't honestly know. Even if you replace every belt and the solenoid, it'll still be far cheaper than replacing the transmission.
I will find out monday. Free diagnostic check at an aamco down the street will let me know then
What was the car doing to make you work on it
Nothing. It only had the check-engine light on.
Very Good!!,
I have a 2005 V6 3.0. My concern is my automatic transmission wont move forward when I put it on D mode when its cold. But after waiting for atleast 10 mins, I can drive it without a problem. No dtc found. Would you know which solenoid is it?
I don't. I'm sorry.
Thanks couldn't find the part location
did you really have to remove the neutral control switch or just the electrical insert
I don't honestly know. Another comment talked about doing it without removing the neutral-control switch, only the wire. I'm sure it's possible.
Is the solenoid e problem a mechanical or electrical fault?
I would guess electrical, but I'm no expert.
I got the same issue with a 2003 Corolla is this the same way and part plz?
This sounds like the same issue I'm having. My car is the Chevy Prizm 1999.

You think It’ll be the same for a 2001 Lexus es300
I have no idea. I'm sorry.
Will this work for a V6 1999 Toyota Camry?
I don't know, sorry.
I'm looking for mine and its not there? 96 camry
Alex Avila I don't know how to help with that. I'm no expert. Maybe Google it and see if it's an internal solonoid on that car.
@@jeremyhood I looked under the hood of my 2000 toyota camry LE, 4 cylinder. Should it work seeing that my car is only one year older than yours and is a 4 cylinder?
It's called solenoid e and e= external
Oh! That makes sense. LOL! I should have thought of that.
I replaced part and after 40 miles. It came back on. I reset it and see what happens. Has this happen to anyone else
I have not seen this. I hope someone else has.
Isn't that lock up solenoid?
I heard that name used as well, but can't remember if it's the same or something different.
What is selenoid e in 2003 matrix. Same thing no body knows.
