What Are the Causes of Automotive Solenoid Valve Failure?
1 Answers
Automotive solenoid valve failure is primarily caused by deteriorated transmission fluid, damaged wiring, or faulty solenoid coils. Deteriorated Transmission Fluid: When the solenoid valve operates, transmission fluid enters its interior. If the fluid deteriorates, it can dirty the valve body, hindering its opening or movement. In such cases, the solenoid valve must be removed, cleaned, or replaced, followed by a transmission fluid change. Damaged Wiring: Poor electrical connections can prevent the solenoid valve from functioning properly. For wiring issues, it is recommended to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for professional inspection and repair to avoid additional faults. Faulty Solenoid Coils: Excessively high transmission fluid temperatures can damage the solenoid coils, leading to valve malfunction. If the coils are damaged, they should be replaced.
