wiz6728 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 hi i have a 95 sls the shift solenoids broke so i replaced them now im pretty sure i put the check balls in the right place. well when i was done i took it for a drive at first everything was fine then the check eng. light came on and went back out a couple of times during the first test drive. after that it was fine for the rest of the day it was shiting fine for 1 day then it started doing the same thing all over again. the dtc before i changed the solenoids were shift solenoid A & B problem now it just says B. any suggestion welcome please help Wiz DRIVE IT LIKE YOU own it!!!!!! 1967 chevy II ( FOR SALE!!!!) 1995 Lexus Es 300 1998 SLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Did you put the support bracket (strap) in with the new set? It should have come with the solenoid kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiz6728 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 no i counldnt figure out how it went i still have it . but i did drop the pan agian just to see if it broke again everything seem to b fine. i put it back together and put my scanner on it and took it for a drive and the solenoids seem to be firing. only thing i did notice is that the voltage on the pressure sensor some times went to zero. this almost makes me believe that it might be pressure related. i had some on else look at it and they seem to think its electrical? but y would it work so good for 1 day? confused?

Ranger Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I believe that strap or bracket holds the solenoids in place and prevents them from breaking again. Maybe they are shifting. I think there is a picture somewhere with it in place. You might find it with a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 There are check balls that need to be located correctly when you change the shift solenoids.

wiz6728 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 im pretty sure their in the right place but now i got a pic of them i might pull it back down and check. but if i had 1 in the wrong place would the transmission shift? that might explain why when i was lookn at the scanner the press sensor voltage to go to zero somtimes? cause im pretty sure that shouldnt happen. because it did worked fine for 1 day Wiz DRIVE IT LIKE YOU own it!!!!!! 1967 chevy II ( FOR SALE!!!!) 1995 Lexus Es 300 1998 SLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Your problem is with the bracket (or lack thereof) If you don't install the bracket the fluid pressure passing through the solenoid filter will eventually push the filter out of the valve body housing. Once this happens fluid will drain out of the valve body instead of pressurizing the solenoids (and the solenoids won't function/fire, same symptoms as a failed solenoid). Install the bracket and everything should be "A" ok A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove it, clean it as good as possible without scratching it using nothing abrasive, tapping it with a hammer will dump some dirt. Use BRASS round wire brushes and us a new EGR gasket Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
