Exactly which solenoid do you now have you fitted? JDM normally open, or US normally closed?

It is the different solenoid which reverses the “command” of the TCU signal. When using a JDM transmission, you must fit the appropriate C solenoid valve, i.e. one that is normally open and NOT the US one which is normally closed.

You should also be using the JDM TCU, otherwise as I have pointed out, the programming will/may not be correct, which is no doubt the current situation. The US TCU is programmed for a clutch, the JDM for a differential.
