Give your automatic transmission a solenoid built for positive valve actuation on command: the Standard Ignition Transmission Control Solenoid, part number TCS229. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2016-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2017 Ford Taurus. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-specific details.
This electrically operated valve responds to commands from the transmission's control system. It opens or closes to block or vent fluid pressure to the valve components it serves.
- 100% copper winding: designed for positive valve actuation on command.
- Precision-ground pintle: moves freely to block or vent fluid pressure.
- OE-matched electrical values: resistance and inductance are matched to OE for proper fit, form, and function.
- Stainless steel filter screen: helps keep contamination away from the valve components.
As a global manufacturer, Standard Ignition maintains complete quality control throughout its manufacturing process.
Signs that an automatic transmission control solenoid may need replacing include harsh, delayed, or erratic shifts, a transmission that stays in one gear, and transmission-related trouble codes. These symptoms have several possible causes, so diagnose the fault before replacing parts. If a failed solenoid is the cause, TCS229 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Standard Ignition TCS229 solenoid do?
It is an electrically actuated valve that the transmission's control system commands to block or vent fluid pressure to valve components. Its precision-ground pintle moves freely to do that job.
Which vehicles does TCS229 fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Escape, 2016-2019 Ford Explorer and 2013-2017 Ford Taurus. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
What part numbers does TCS229 interchange with?
TCS229 interchanges with TCS152, TCS772 and CV6Z7G383D.
What are signs a transmission control solenoid may be failing?
Harsh, delayed or erratic shifts, a transmission stuck in one gear, and transmission trouble codes may appear when a solenoid fails. Other faults cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts.
What do the filter screen and copper winding do?
The stainless steel filter screen helps keep contamination out of the valve components. The 100% copper winding is designed for positive valve actuation on command.
