Re: Duty Sol A?

The A solenoid controls transmission line pressure. If it is faulty and is not closing properly, you will have abnormally low line pressure. If it sticking closed, you will have abnormally high pressure.

P.S. A wiring or connector fault would also cause the problem and result in a code.

There will be no relationship between the two problems you describe. The brake problem will most likely be caused by the switch operated by the brake pedal; i.e. being sticky, out of adjustment or faulty, on an intermittent basis.

When warm, this problem doesent happen as much but I can still feel it through the gears while accelerating. Im not exactly sure what solenoid A does, but would it casue the symptoms im having. Sometimes it seems to work great but more than less I can definitley feel the hesitation.

Secondly. Has anyone else had a problem with the E brake light on when cold . I make sure the brake is completley down and sometimes it goes away after warm but sure enough every morning i start the car it comes on for a while. sometimes it comes on after driving for a minute and then goes away after its warm and i shut the engine off and back on. Any way these problems are related. Any help appreciated Thanks!!
