I cleared the 722.9 trans fault code (Y3/8y5 B1 brake control solenoid)
and took the car for a spin. At first it was still in limp mode, I
drove it down the road a bit then parked and fooled around with the
scanner and looking at other codes and whatever, shut the car off and
restarted it and it shifted and drove fine. YAY ME!!! I'm sure the
solenoid needs to be replaced so I will do that and do fluid/filter too
which I am sure it needs. So that says that the conductor plate is
likely not bad and it is just that one solenoid. One hopes anyway...
that would be an easy cheap fix other than the fluid/filter which is
like unicorn piss or something. Anyway... the guy told me that it would
work fine for awhile after clearing the code then it would go into limp
mode again so this tracks that, so he was honest about it.
It also has an intake flap code I will need to sort out, could be simple
or not so simple (but not too difficult just fiddly). But the car was
running OK and the AC BLOWS ICE COLD
Aside from the few things in the interior the car is quite nice, body in
great shape and looks really good. I wish these seats would hold up
better but seems to be a standard thing that the driver seat bottoms
wear out. I should see if I can find replacements.
