2) A solenoid body containing 9 solenoids and some valves;
3) A valve body assembly.
When the TCM is removed the solenoids and valve body must come out with it.
I don't know if these sub assemblies are replaceable separately, and whether the term TCM is sometimes used to mean mechatronic unit.
Next time I visit my friendly spare parts man at Ford I'll ask how much a solenoid body costs ;-) |
Work Shop Manual calls it a Transmission Control Module (
TCM) and Main Control Valve Body, but the parts catalogue call it a mechatronic unit. No serviceable parts and is the valve body and
TCM in one. See pic attached below.
They are about $2300 to buy complete unit.
