Inside the trans pan next to all other solenoids in the valve body, if u have less than I believe 75000 miles toyota should address the issue for you. This is in a technical service bulletin, short fall ofa recall.
These are inside the trans case, just above the trans pan, which must be removed. They are fitted as a pair as they use the one wiring plug. Yuo may as well change the filter in there at the same time.
knock sensor, first and second shift solenoid failure, second and third
shift solenoid, transmission torque converter basicly saying your trans
is shot and your gonna need a new one.
The Solenoid Pack in trans may be clogged up,now you got coolant in there. You flushed the trans I assume and could replace the solenoid control pack, but it will cost you 332.00 wholesale at trans supply house. After that it is out with trans and new clutches. How long did you drive not knowing you had coolant in the trans?
Before you start looking at replacing solenoids, here is something that you need to know:
Toyota has a technical service bulletin regarding this issue.
Changing the solenoids will NOT rectify your situation. Replacing the ECU in the car is what you need to do. The logic/programming is the problem, not the solenoids.
The good news is this: The ECU is covered, under the factory warranty! It will be replaced for free, if your car has less than 80,000 miles on it.
If you have more miles than 80K, call the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 800-331-4331; an analyst may be able to help offset your costs; they do this quite frequently.
This should get you fixed up. Thanks for visiting FixYa!
Drain trans. fluid remove the trans. pan to expose the shift solenoids next to the valve body call the dealer to identify which solenoid is the primary and secondary sometimes there is only one but if you see two identify which one to replace.
