Standard Ignition TCS245 transmission control solenoid for the 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier and other vehicles controls fluid pressure in the transmission. This automatic transmission control solenoid has resistance and inductance matched to OE for proper fit, form and function, and its performance is intended to meet or exceed OE.
- 100% copper winding for positive valve actuation on command
- Stainless steel filter screen that prevents contamination of valve components
- Precision-ground pintle that moves freely to block or vent fluid pressure
- 100% end-of-line testing on every solenoid
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition TCS245 transmission control solenoid
- Also called: automatic transmission control solenoid
- Fits: 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier and other vehicles
- Material: Metal, Plastic
- Condition: New
A worn solenoid can show up as harsh or delayed shifts, a transmission that stays in one gear or a shift-related warning light. A damaged wiring harness, low fluid or worn internal parts can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a solenoid. This listing is one solenoid, and the 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier takes one.
Fits
This bolt-on solenoid fits the 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier, the 1988-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, along with other Nissan and Infiniti models. For another one, find your year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Standard Ignition TCS245 fit a 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra?
Yes. The Standard Ignition TCS245 fits the 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra and also the 1988-2004 Nissan Pathfinder. Each of these takes one solenoid.
Does this transmission control solenoid come with a wiring harness?
Yes. The Standard Ignition TCS245 includes a wiring harness 2.75 in (69 mm) long. Gaskets, hardware and a mounting bracket are not included.
What connector and terminals does this solenoid have?
This transmission control solenoid has a rectangular female connector and two male blade terminals, with a single wire in the harness.
What can a failing transmission control solenoid look like while driving?
Harsh or delayed shifts, a gear that will not change or a warning light can be signs of a solenoid or another transmission problem. A shop can scan and test it to find the cause.
Is part number 3194041X05 interchangeable with the TCS245 solenoid?
Yes. 3194041X05 is on the interchange list for the Standard Ignition TCS245 solenoid, so it is a cross-reference for this part.
