Before you start removing the tranny pan to get to the solenoid , there is a 16 pin ( 16 ,if my memory serves me right) connector on the top of the transmission in the engine compartment. Remove the connector and check for corrosion there. I'm at 12 mins into this video when I made this comment. Corrosion here can also cause hard shifts and for folks with this corrosion issue a new wire assembly is available from the dealer. To install this wire will require dropping the transmission pan. Excellent video !!! Please follow up with what your friend found out to add closure to this problem. Thank you.
I really like the way this guy use common sense and his knowledge of how to use the scanner, some people have a scanner and still don't know how to use it to the fullest potential
Not a mechanic just a DIY person who is just interested in the mechanics of cars just in case I do need the knowledge for my car.... Really impressed at the comprehensive explanation you go through on all your videos.... And taking the time to get us to understand the thoughts behind the logic... Thank you Sir.... Subscribed
As a retired VP of my college (and having evaluated hundreds of instructors), I can say you are awesome as an instructor who is comprehensive and who is excellent in explaining the issue/process! REFRESHING! NO suggestions for improvement! PS Matt did a great job as well!
Wonderfull diagnosis, like how you zero in on the fault step by step. In the test drive the gears changed perfectly and the solenoid and wiring is fine, so why not let the customer drive the car for a few days, or your friend keep it for those days just to make sure the fault does not come back. Because it looks more likely a stuck spool valve, due most likely to a tiny bit of dirt, and given the milage of the car and unknown info about the servicing of the transmission.🐞
Hi! Very informative video. Just wanted to say I had the same problem and I found out that my transmission harness was damaged inside the plug. It is very hard to see it. I hope this will help. Thanks for the videos you make.
Hey Dude, please let us know what your friend will find out about the transmission and how he fixes it, if you ever fail as a mechanic, not to worry because you are an excellent teacher, love your videos
So wait, the other shop didn’t have a scanner? They probably didn’t have time to mess with it is my guess. At any rate, replace all the solenoids and it should be good. Also a lot of people never service their tranny so maybe that contributed to this problem occurring. Great stuff once again brother! Love this channel! Soli Deo Gloria~
You need to do a 2 trip drive cycle for the fault to reoccur (maybe it would), and that includes speed, temperature, and gear settings. Freeze frame data is critical in any repair.
Man, I loved honda cars, all tranmission solenoids are outside at the transmission case and are accessible and easy to replace, unlike toyota cars, they are inside the transmission, and replacing a solenoid meaning better replace the whole tranmission or at least rebuild the old one, because, both require transmission removal and opening.
I follow your videos very nice and very educative thanks so much for sharing your knowledge my question is what wiring diagram software are you using ??? thnxs and have a blessed one.
Bro..its normal with toyota s4 solenoid issue it will work about 15 to 20 km then code will set again as transmission temperature goes up this s4 vavlue start to disconnect internally i have fixed many of these .....cheers

Hi bro can you advise me some tips,thanks I am working on Toyota aurion but the car no heating from coolant even no heat from AC as well,I did check the blend door actuator,work fine so what to look at?thanks

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair you are Great with in diagnosis and fixing of fault because in Ghana we think being good in scanning tool means you are electrician
****I had the same solenoid problem with a Honda Accord V6 transmission - it wouldn't shit to the second gear. I was pissed off because the car had only 44k miles. Dealer fixed it for $350. **I sold the car afterwards and went back to Lexus. Honda lost me.
Hi I watch your channel I’m also a tech but not as good as you I think you missed diagnosed that cat remember you clearing the code the code did not come back the problem is the engine computer so bu clearing the code it will act normally please let me know the out come .
