Standard Ignition TCS163 transmission control solenoid for the 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla and other vehicles blocks or vents fluid pressure on command. Some catalogs list it as an automatic transmission control solenoid, and its resistance and inductance are matched to OE for proper form and function.
- 100% copper winding for positive valve actuation on command
- Stainless steel filter screen to prevent contamination of valve components
- Materials chosen to withstand extreme conditions
- Precision-ground pintle that moves freely to block or vent fluid pressure
- 100% end-of-line testing on every solenoid

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Standard Ignition TCS163 the right solenoid for a 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla?
Yes, the Standard Ignition TCS163 fits the 2009-2013 Toyota Corolla. For another car, look up its year, make and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section on the product page.
What comes with this transmission control solenoid, and do I need a gasket?
The box holds one solenoid. A gasket, hardware, mounting bracket and wiring harness are not included, so buy them separately if your job needs them.
What kind of connector does the Standard Ignition TCS163 use?
The Standard Ignition TCS163 has one rectangular female connector with two male blade terminals, attached by push-on. The wiring harness is not included.
Can harsh shifting or slipping come from a bad transmission control solenoid?
Yes, a worn solenoid can be behind harsh or delayed shifts and slipping, though other parts may produce those symptoms too. A shop can test the solenoid with the right equipment.
Why does this solenoid have a stainless steel filter screen?
The stainless steel filter screen prevents contamination of the valve components. The precision-ground pintle moves freely to block or vent fluid pressure.
