Duty Solenoid A
 

I've been getting a flashing power light on startup, so I checked this evening and it is coming back as Solenoid A. If I remember correctly, this controls front/rear power split.

Is there anything else that might be causing this indication other than a bad Solenoid A? Are there procedures anywhere for replacing this? Recommendations?

Thanks!

Duty C solenoid/transfer valve controls the amount of transfer to the rear wheels.

Duty solenoid A is your line pressure control solenoid... Often the circuit is disrupted by a bad dropping resistor. Check the resistance on the resistor next to the battery and get back to us

Well my multimeter took a dump a few weeks ago testing a hot wire fence, so I'll have to check tomorrow.

That does make sense, the guy I bought it from found an AT leak and recently replaced some lines...

By line pressure it is meant the actual pressure of the fluid in the transmission, not the external cooler lines

OK, I checked my resistor and it's definitely dead. So I checked the dropping resistor in my Leg and it's ~12 Ohm. I put the resistor from the Leg into the SVX - it gave me trouble codes on the first engine start, but every start after that was code free.

Thanks for the help, glad I didn't buy a new solenoid!

glad to hear it was the simple fix!!
