ISSUE:
The 1997 AX4N transaxle uses two different Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Solenoids. The difference between the two are resistance specifications.
The Taurus/Sable uses a low resistance and the Continental uses a high resistance TCC solenoid.
ACTION:
To diagnose a TCC solenoid in a 1997 Taurus/Sable vehicle, refer to the Resistance Chart above for the correct resistance values while following
Pinpoint Test C1 on Page 07-01B-80 of the 1997 Taurus/Sable Service Manual. The resistance listed in the Pinpoint Test is correct. The resistance listed
in the Solenoid Resistance Chart in the Service Manual is incorrect.
