Standard Ignition Automatic Transmission Control Solenoid P/N:TCS186
Standard Motor Products
Help keep automatic shifts crisp and controlled with the Standard Ignition Automatic Transmission Control Solenoid (TCS398). This electro-hydraulic solenoid uses an electric coil to move an internal pintle that blocks or vents transmission fluid pressure on command. It fits many vehicles as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, among them the 2008-2017 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country and 2009-2017 Dodge Journey. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine-level detail.
Signs the original solenoid may need replacing include harsh or delayed shifts, slipping, or a transmission fault code. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources; if a failed control solenoid is the cause, this unit replaces it.
