4. Test and Replace Transmission Solenoids (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Access the solenoids, typically located on the valve body.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the solenoids.
  3. Test each solenoid using a multimeter for resistance; replace any faulty solenoids.
• Tools Required: Multimeter, socket set.

5. Reconnect and Test
