VS in limp mode - Transmission - HELPPPPPPPPP

[Benji885]

Hi everyone,

Having an issue with my VS. It appears to be in limp mode with engine light on. I brought the car a year ago from a bloke that said it needed new A&B solenoids.

I changed both A&B solenoids aswell as new trans filter and fluid.

The light is still on and it wont take off in 1st when its in D. Also kinda sluggish taking off in 3, but better than it was before the solenoid replacement!

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

If you keep trying to drive it you will get stuck somewhere. New box my man.

What code is being set by the engine light?

Give it an error code check. Search for it.

or maybe undo the battery to clear the old codes if you have not done that before

Its stuck, needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
Replacing shift solenoids wont fix it. I experienced this with my auto

Don't go undoing the battery, you will need to reset the security code if OEM radio etc, just pop the engine fuse out and back in.

As above - check for fault codes:- https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/checking-error-codes-vr-vs-revised.22307
This will tell you exactly what the problem is....Good Luck.

I had a similar problem, turned out to be as simple as a corroded connector, sending the wrong signals. I had 4 error codes, including the solenoids. I fixed the connector, but it was still in limp mode. Soooo.. check the fuses.. the corroded connector had blown all the relevant fuses.

Sometimes it can be the simplest things..
