Shift solenoids S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 operate together to control gear-shifting. The solenoids are controlled by power stages in the transmission control module (TCM). The control module activates the power stages to activate the solenoids and sends voltage through the circuit.

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) TCM-0003, TCM-0009, TCM-0103, TCM-0109 or TCM-010C is stored if the transmission control module (TCM) registers that the circuit S1, S2, S3, S4 or S5 receives too low a signal when the solenoid is activated. Which diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored depends on which circuit is faulty.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the ignition is switched on.
