Check out this thread for info about doing the electrical checks of the solenoid circuits. Ken helped me out a ton when I was having shifting problems. I ended up replacing all three solenoids with new ones and it's been like butter ever since. By the way, my shifting problems were intermittent at times as well.

If one would search lock up issues they would find that simply bringing up their ATF to full, changing out filthy ATF, or replacing the solenoids fixes the problem.

had a buddy drive it to his work today (i have a company vehicle) he said the whole way to work it was perfect. he just called a minute ago and said he's on his way home and it won't lock up at all. the sporadicniss of this thing is driving me nuts. I did pull that connector and it looked perfectly fine. Looks like I'm moving on to testing again! So should the reading still be 11-15 ohms at the connector? or what is the spread since it has wiring attached to it now? thanks for the link!

I pulled all three right there by the dipstick, cleaned them, looked them over well, dabbed a little dielectric on em and snugged em back together

So I tested from the tcu and got 18 ohms on all the solenoids, tested at the plug on the dipstick, got 15.8. Applied 12 volts to the terminals at could hear the solenoids click on and off. Well two of them at least. The tcc solenoid was definately one that was cycling off and on…

15.8 Ohms is a tad high but 18 Ohms is way too high.
