Standard Ignition TCS257 transmission control solenoid for the 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG and other vehicles blocks or vents fluid pressure in the transmission on command.
- 100% copper winding for positive valve actuation on command
- Stainless steel filter screen keeps contamination out of the valve components
- Precision-ground pintle moves freely to block or vent fluid pressure
- Undergoes 100% end-of-line testing
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition TCS257 transmission control solenoid
- Also called: automatic transmission control solenoid
- Fits: 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG and other vehicles
- Material: Metal
- Condition: New
Harsh or delayed shifts, shifts that flare between gears or a transmission warning light can point to a solenoid that no longer actuates its valve. These signs alone do not prove this part is at fault, since a low fluid level can produce similar shift complaints.
Fits
This solenoid is a valve actuator for the 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, the 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG S and the 2013-2016 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, among many other vehicles. Its resistance and inductance are matched to OE for proper fit, form and function, and each unit is tested to meet or exceed OE performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Standard Ignition TCS257 right for a 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG?
Yes. Standard Ignition TCS257 is listed for the 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. If your Mercedes-Benz is a different model, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section to see whether it is covered.
Does this automatic transmission control solenoid come with a wiring harness?
No. Standard Ignition TCS257 comes as one solenoid with its gaskets. The wiring harness, hardware and mounting bracket are not included.
What is the filter screen on the TCS257 solenoid made of?
The filter screen is stainless steel, and it prevents contamination of the valve components. The solenoid winding is 100% copper.
What kind of connector does this transmission control solenoid have?
This solenoid has one rectangular female connector with two male slide terminals. It attaches with a push-on connection.
How is each Standard Ignition TCS257 solenoid tested at the end of the line?
Each unit undergoes 100% end-of-line testing to meet or exceed OE performance. Its resistance and inductance are matched to OE.
