Transmission Identification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If the solenoid body identification and strategy does not match the solenoid body information in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), transaxle damage or driveability concerns can occur.

The solenoid body has a unique strategy data file that must be downloaded to the PCM . There is a 7-digit solenoid body identification and a 13-digit solenoid body strategy for each solenoid body. Any time a new solenoid body is installed or the transaxle is installed, the scan tool must be used to get the solenoid body strategy data file and download it into the PCM .

If the PCM is replaced and the PCM data cannot be inhaled or exhaled, the solenoid body identification and solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM .
