Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: All Technical Service Bulletins
Recall 99V178000: A/T Excessive Slippage
Passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently
elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. This leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo,
allowing them to slip.
Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as
expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.
Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.
