Yes, very common. Replace solenoid pack.
Trouble code P0116 means:Engine coolant temperature circuit range/performance problem
That would be a problem with the solenoid for the lock up converter. Start with checking the fuses. If the fuses check okay the lock up solenoid or wiring circuit is probably bad. That solenoid is located inside the transmission and can be reached by dropping the trans pan.
Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness is open or shorted Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection Low transmission fluid level Dirty transmission fluid Could be a problem with the harness to the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, the TCC solenoid connector or the TCC solenoid it self.
In most modern cars, transmission shift is controlled by the computer. If the transmission won't shift, you most probably have a bad shift solenoid or solenoid circuit problem. You could also have a bad gear selector switch. Following that, check the computer and its related sensors. See the manufacturer's documentation for specifics.
The solenoid is an internal transmission problem. It causes slipping, non-shifting, hard or erratic shifts, overheating,?æas well as loss of one or more gears.?æ
There are numerous solenoids inside the transmission. Whatever the problem should be left to a specialist.
TransmissionP0740 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Malfuction P0753 Shift Solenoid A Electrical P0758 Shift Solenoid B Electrical P0785 Shift/Timing Solenoid Malfunction 1860 ?? Serious transmission problems. Take it to a transmission expert. Before assuming its a trans problem search online. Gm put out a S/B in 2005 stating a problem with the electrical portion of the ignition switch. The switch fails and intemitently looses power to trans circuit causing numerous trans codes.
there is a tsb in alldata for this loss of voltage to transmission solenoid power supply circuit cause may be after market remote starter
switch or possible shift solenoid problem
If you are referring to the Torque Solenoid on the Transmission then look on the upper side of the transmission and you will find a blue plug assembly with two sires. If you have a problem with your TCC solenoid (the engine stops when you use the break while in drive) then removing the wire will keep the engine going. To fix the problem you need to open the side of the transmission cap and replace the solenoid assembly (Solenoid assembly costs $40 at the dealer). you would need to remove a Chassis cover behind the passenger wheel to reach the transmission cover though.
Your transmission is "sticking" sometimes a fluid and filter change can resolve this problem for a short time however is this does not help there is a solenoid in the trans that needs replacing any transmission shop can preform this solenoid swap relatively cheap and most have the capability to diagnose this problem for free
