Very possible. Solenoids are not the only transmission issues

solenoids are usually responsible for transmission jerks.

ZIMDRILL:


what i have noticed is that some people dont scan the transmission ECU they just scan the engine ECU thinking it will pull up all codes from both ECU

some scanners are basic they only scan the basic from main ECU and some cant even scan ABS or AIR BAG there a customer can be told that there is no transmission code due to the fact that the scanner is basic

then a common thing i noticed from nigerian car dealers in my town they go buy the cheapest car they can get from auctions and 99% of these cars have lots of faults and warning lights, instead of buying the parts to fix higlighted by the warning lights, they take off the instrument cluster a put a black tape to block the warning light (check engine light, abs or air bag) if you buy such car it will take you ages to figure out that your check engine light doesnt turn on when switch on the ignition, you will assume to say everything is OK becoz there is no check engine light or other warning lights

Good scanners are not cheap and people refer to go where the price for scanning is cheap and the chances of the scanner being a basic one are high

Some even cut the check light wire and wired it with battery indication bulb.Sometimes it requires datastream on bidirectional scanner to figure out faulty transmission problem

I didn't say they weren't. I said not all transmission issues are scannable.

Thank you all for your moral support and assistance eventually we changed the ECU and that was what solved it all.

Nice! I'll let my guy know he was on the right track. How much did it cost? (We weren't selling ECUs because they are too delicate to ship with freight forwarders but now we use FedEx so I'm curious).

Don't bother yourself, you won't be able to beat market price.

I'm not trying to beat it. Different client base.
We've actually gotten demand and brought some in for clients who insisted with the old shipping. I just have no idea what that market is like here.

I paid 70 thousand. I considered buying from you guys or any online platform but i was told that you might eventually buy an ecu with the vin and all that and yet it wont work with your car. We kept changing and programming till we hit the right one.

Gotcha. That is true though it's usually a slim chance and maybe only one swap. Maybe because they tend to rig parts to work with cars here is why they have to try so many.
Another reason why we stayed away from bringing them in. Glad it's solved!

Thanks for getting back to the forum. Much appreciated.

Do you sell catalytic converters pls? For Lexus es 300. I need new ones. I have p0420 and p0430 gas milage is poor

Yes oo this is very important at least if someone is having an issue as this, he/she would see this thread and eventually see the solution.
