WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Inspect the solenoid(s) for damage.

If a new solenoid is not being installed, install the solenoid(s) into the bore from which it was removed.

If installing a new Variable Force Solenoid (VFS), determine the base part number of the solenoid(s). The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid A (SSA) and Shift Solenoid C (SSC) are all normally low pressure solenoids. The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid, Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Shift Solenoid D (SSD) are all normally high pressure solenoids. Shift Solenoid E (SSE) is not a VFS , it is an ON/OFF solenoid.

ITEM DESCRIPTION

Item	Part Number	Description
1	7G136	SSA (normally low)
2	7G383	SSB (normally high)
3	7G136	SSC (normally low)
4	7G383	SSD (normally high)
5	7G484	SSE (normally closed [OFF])
6	7G136	TCC solenoid (normally low)
7	7G383	LPC solenoid (normally high)

Determine the part number suffix by checking the solenoid service band number etched on the side of the solenoid. The band number is the third digit on the side of the solenoid and will be a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Use the following table to determine the part number suffix and match the new solenoid base part number and suffix with the old solenoid.
