LeSabre V6-231 38L VIN L SFI (1992) Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Information
CAUSE:
(Figure 2)
Some solenoids may have the molded plastic housing upside down. This can affect the holding ability of the spring retainer clip to the solenoid assembly
(315) and allow the spring retainer clip to become unclipped from the solenoid housing. If the spring retainer clip should become unclipped, the shift
solenoid may separate from the control valve assembly (301), and cause the solenoid to become ineffective.
NOTE:
Customers who drive on rough surfaced roads or after hitting a bump may be more inclined to knock the spring retainer clip loose from an affected
solenoid.
CORRECTION:
When servicing any transaxle where the shift solenoid is not secured to the control valve assembly, it is essential to check the solenoid for the above
mentioned condition before reassembling. If the solenoid is improperly molded, it MUST be replaced.
SERVICE PROCEDURE:
If the transaxle contains an improperly molded shift solenoid assembly, replace the solenoid with the part listed under "Service Parts Information."
