Can you upload an image of what you are seeing so I can help? The code is for the electrical connection so the solenoid might be shorted which is common.

Sorry the pan you need to remove is on the side of the transmission to replace the shift solenoids. Here are the location and instructions in the images below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

So, do I have to drop the transmission to get to the shift solenoid?

It looks like it. You may be able to remove the transmission and maybe an engine mount to lower it enough to remove the side pan. Here is how the job is done. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I just found out that the paperwork on the Grand Prix is wrong. It is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. Any chance you could tell me where the shift solenoid is located still?
