G4A-EL
3-4 Shift Hunt





This condition may be caused by failure in the 3-4 shift solenoid hydraulic circuit. Monitor the shift solenoid signals from the computer. If the 1-2 shift solenoid is the only solenoid being cycled on and off during the 3-4 shift hunt the 3-4 shift solenoid feed circuit has failed.

This condition is commonly caused by debris which has plugged the 3-4 shift solenoid feed orifice.

NOTE:
This condition may also be caused by a leak in the 3-4 shift solenoid or the end plug of the 3-4 shift valve.
