These solenoids will work for KM-175, 176, and 177 Series transmissions. The 3 ohm solenoid will work on all year models in the EPC position. It is also used in the DCC position on Mitsubishi vehicles prior to ‘93, and on later Hyundai and Chrysler vehicles. IF A 3 OHM RESISTANCE SOLENOID IS USED ON A SYSTEM REQUIRING A 13 OHM SOLENOID, THE COMPUTER WILL BE DAMAGED.
There are two methods to determine which ohms of resistance DCC (lock-up) solenoid is needed.

This bulletin supersedes TSB 06-40-005 to include a procedure for GDS. CAUTION: Before replacing a transaxle to improve a shift quality condition, follow this procedure to reset and relearn the adaptive learning.
DESCRIPTION: The PCM or TCM contains logic to adjust solenoid duty and line pressure as needed to compensate for normal clutch wear over the life of the transaxle. This bulletin provides the procedures necessary to reset (erase) and “relearn” the PCM/TCM adaptive values. After the following repairs have been completed, the PCM/TCM adaptive values must be reset in order to provide optimum shift quality:

The evaporative emission system is designed to prevent the escape of fuel vapors from the fuel
system. Leaks in the system, even small ones, can allow fuel vapors to escape into the
atmosphere. Government regulations require onboard Testing to make sure that the evaporative
(EVAP) system is functioning properly. The leak detection system tests for EVAP system leaks
and blockage. It also performs self-diagnostics. During self-diagnostics, the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) first checks the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) for electrical and mechanical faults.
If the first checks pass, the PCM then uses the LDP to seal the vent valve and pump air into the
system to pressurize it. If a leak is present, the PCM will continue pumping the LDP to replace
the air that leaks out. The PCM determines the size of the leak based on how fast/long it must
pump the LDP as it tries to maintain pressure in the system.

AMC introduced Solid State Ignition (SSI) as a running change on some 1977 Canadian models. It is standard equipment on all 1978 and later American Motors built engines. The system consists of a sensor and toothed trigger wheel inside the distributor, and a permanently sealed electronic control unit which determines dwell, in addition to the coil, ignition wires, and spark plugs.

Testing a Solenoid Valve To test the solenoid valve in an individual strut, perform the following steps: • turn the ignition switch to OFF, • connect a fused jumper wire between a known good ground and the strut solenoid’s terminal in the control unit connector (back-probe connector at the control unit, do not disconnect) • connect a fused jumper wire between a known good ground and the air charge solenoid’s terminal in the control unit connector (back-probe connector at the control unit, do not disconnect), • turn ignition switch to ON.

OVERVIEW: VEHICLE 1 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, loosen the nut and remove the negative battery cable from the negative post of the battery. 2 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, remove the grounding bolt from the inner fender. This grounding bolt is located on the drivers’ inner fender behind the battery as shown in Figure B. 3 Using a 10mm socket with ratchet, remove the two bolts holding the windshield washer reservoir. 4 Lift the reservoir out of its place and unplug the green washer pump connector from the washer pump at the bottom of the reservoir. 5 Locate and disconnect the two front wiring harness plugs (E2 and E3). The E2 and E3 plugs are located behind the battery box. 6 (more…)

Disassembly
1. Thoroughly clean and air dry valve bodies. Remove check balls. Remove each valve train.
2. Lay valves, springs and bushings on a clean surface in the order removed. Remove solenoids, sensor, screens, servos and accumulator assemblies.
Cleaning & Inspection
Clean valves, springs and bushings in solvent. NEVER use shop rags to clean valve body components. Inspect valves and bushings for scoring, nicks and scratches. Inspect springs for damaged or distorted coils. Inspect valve body casting for porosity, interconnected oil passages and damaged machined surfaces.
