I have a 2013 chevy cruze 1.4l eco tec automatic transmission. So I put my car in a OBD2 scanner n the code that I got was to replace the TCM Solenoids. So I ordered the Solenoids that matched for my car from the website site called shop. Anyways the steps I did werw:
1. I removed the transmission drain plug and drained the fluid.
2. Then I took off almost the whole front end if my car to get to the case that the TCM solenoids are located in.
3. Removed and put the new TCM solenoids I ordered in my car.
4. Put the TCM case cover back on and other parts (whole front end of car i took off to access the TCM CASE).
5. Put correct transmission fluid into my car
6. Started car and put & ran through all the gears.
So after all those steps I did my car seems to go into reverse and move but doesn't engage into drive and will not move in drive at all. Is there any steps or videos or tips you can give me for my car to relearn its gears or to relearn the solenoids I replaced? Also is there a certain line up the solenoids need to be i watched a ton youtube videos but they are no help. I've asked a bunch of mechanics but they want me to pay a arm n a leg n bring my car in to be repaired when I can do it my self.can you help me?? Can you please tell me if there is steps I can take to mKe my chevy cruze relearn its TCM solenoids? As well as the shifting process??
