Test G FORD MUSTANG 2003 Workshop Manual

Any time an electrical connector or solenoid body is disconnected, inspect the connector for pin
condition, corrosion and contamination. Also inspect the connector seal for damage. Clean, repair or
install a new connector as required.
Shift Solenoids Pre-Diagnosis
Use the following shift solenoid operation information when carrying out Pinpoint Test A.
a When a manual pull- in occurs above a calibrated speed the transmission will downshift from the
higher gear until the vehicle speed drops below this calibrated speed.
EC = Electronically controlled.
HD = Hydraulically disabled.
