Sounds like the wire itself is damaged or bad connection at some point in the harness.

Say for example could be a bad connection where the trans harness plugs into the main harness.

Converter clutch control circuit failure

Test the circuit, Purple-yellow wire, between the PCM harness connector and the harness connector at the solenoid pack.

If no continuity you found the cause of the problem, run a new wire or find the fault in the existing wire.

If test good then suggests the solenoid itself is bad or a bad connection at the PCM or SP. Bad solenoid requires replacement of solenoid pack as a unit. If in question you can and should test that solenoid first before replacing the pack to verify it is the problem.

The wire itself is always first thing I suspect on these trucks.

Possible causes:
-- Damaged solenoid/assembly.
-- Open or shorted harness (internal/external).
-- Damaged PCM.
