You can see the solenoid switch states, on or off, with the AE. It will not activate any of the sensors it scans.

With the AE hooked up you go for a drive with the TCC solenoid PID showing on one of the monitoring screens. If you see it switch and the TC doesn't lock up....there is a problem.

What is PID? I'm only having trouble at idle in manual 1st and reverse. .. it feels like the clutch is trying to lock.

What is the coast clutch solenoid actually working. .. is it activating the torque converter clutch? Marks description was pretty good. . . but I'm hoping for more details The torque converter clutch is statically engaged right? It will dissengage when the TCC solenoid adds pressure to disengage it. How much pressure does it need to disengage? I'm trying to find out what the perameter I'm watching is showing the TCC's position or desired position. My line pressures are awfully high. . . and it makes sense to me that at low pump volumes due to low RPM that there wouldn't be enough pump volume to make the pressure needed to unlock the TCC. The problem is I can't see any codes. . . I don't have a reason for why my line pressure is so high. . . so i need a full idea of how the systems work so i can find the connections between shift solenoid 1, normal operating temps, high line pressure and a stalling motor.
