that isn't exactly correct what is happening you have no rpm drop when the converter is supposed to engage so it' probably a bad converter have a trans guy check this

it s that area but the solenoid may be working but because of no rpm drop due to maybe a bad torque converter clutch then it kicks back off and sends the code so a trans guy should check this . replacing the solenoid wold probably be a waste of money.
