Default lock up control solenoid B? clicks softer?

alright, I disconnected the plug to the solenoids, and ran a wire from the battery to each terminal, and they both click, but the "A" solenoid is louder and definitely seems stronger. should they both operate identically?

also, I cleared the codes but even with the whole thing unplugged it only throws code 2, not 1.


shouldnt it find both of them as disconnected? I am going to go get a multimeter to run the rest of the tests. but was just curious about those two things.

alright I tested voltage between A4/A25 and A4/A26 with ignition on and nothing. I then checked resistance between them with the ignition off and both were open. I then unplugged the solenoid and checked for continuity at the TCM plug and there was no short. so I checked the resistance between the solenoid and the ground and both were around 20 ohms. chart said to then check for a broken wire from A4 to the solenoid so I temporarily ran a new wire and cleared the codes and still came up with a code 2. both solenoids click when i send power to them.

so I just ordered a TCM as I read that that alone solved a code 2 for someone before. that and every test on the TCM checked out.

also the tranny seems to shift late. is HORRIBLE at downshifting when off of the throttle turning into a parking lot. (doesnt shift at all til I am on the gas and is nice and rough)

So is this for a Ferrari or a Chevy or something? Because I don't see a year or model mentioned anywhere in this thread . . .
