Marc stern please do me a favor and reck 1999 solara because the only e solenoid there is is athe sl or lock up solenoid which they call it shift solenoid number 3 I cked with tech at the dealer and

First, check your information on the location of the shift solenoid in the Camry Solara. It is like most cars on the road. The shift solenoid is located under the drain pan cover on the valve body wall (the valve body faces the drain pan cover. To access it, you will have to do this:

• Wait until the transmission is cool and the fluid has settled
• Drain the transmission fluid (depending on brand automatics have up to 9.5 quarters of automatic transmission fluid in them so you can see the necessity of draining it first. Instead of having a rush of tranny fluid gushing out at you, you are only facing about one quart)
• Place a bucket under the transmission drain pan cover
• Loosen the 14 bolts along the cover flange
• Gently place the transmission pan cover into the bucket
• Let the quart or so that is left in the transmission drain out
• Look at the valve body, just revealed by the removal of the fluid and cover
• Locate the solenoid on the upper right of the valve body
• Replace the right-hand one first

- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty shift solenoid 'E' valve
- Shift solenoid 'E' valve harness is open or shorted
- Shift solenoid 'E' valve circuit poor electrical connection

The P0770 code is detected when Lock up does not occur when driving in the lock up range (normal driving at 80 km/h [50 mph]), or lock up remains ON in the lock up OFF range.

Bad automatic trans shifter solenoid, located under the console between the seats.....quick fix while waiting for a new solenoid is simply unhook the lever from the automatic trans solenoid.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The shift solenoid valve SL is turned ON and OFF by signals from the ECM to control the hydraulic pressure
acting on the lock–up relay valve, which then controls the operation of the lock–up clutch.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0743

ECM detects open in solenoid SL circuit 4 times when solenoid
SL is not operated (2–trip detection logic)

ECM detects short in solenoid SL circuit 4 times when solenoid
SL is operated (2–trip detection logic)

Open or short in shift solenoid valve SL circuit

Shift solenoid valve SL

ECM
Fail safe function
If the ECM detects a malfunction, it turns the shift solenoid valve SL OFF

shift solenoid is an electronic device to controll fluid pressures that creates the shift point for the valvebody

all of the shift solenoids are located inside the transmission attached to the transmission valve body, to access these you need to remove the pan from the transmission.

i can send you step by step instructions with diagrams if you post your email address

I looked up you code and your correct its your shift solenoid valve SL. And that code can be set by three different faults, so depending on whats causing that code to be set it can be expensive or not. The code can be set by a faulty valve, bad wiring, or the expensive part,sorry, it could be your Engine Control Module.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION Based on the signals from the Throttle Position Sensor, the Airflow Meter and the Crankshaft Position Sensor, the ECM sends a signal to the SL Solenoid Valve to regulate the hydraulic pressure and provide smoother gearshifts. The shift-solenoid valve SL responds to commands from the ECM. The valve controls the lock-up relay valve to perform the torque-converter lock-up function. If the ECM detects an open or short circuit for shift-solenoid SL, it will illuminate the MIL.

in the center console there is a shift lock solenoid you can just remove it if you want let me know hey tell fixya bout me ok
