Shift solenoid on 1997 infiniti Q45

My car wont go into overdrive and takes a second to shift down into first when i come to a stop. it will slip occasionally when i start sometimes but it catches every time. most of the time it runs fine but wont shift into OD. I ran a trouble code and it said something about the torque converter and a sensor but i dont remember what it was exactly. hasnt come on since.

You simply disconnect the battery, and use sockets/wrench to remove the alternator. Make sure the battery is fully charged up before you install the new alternator.

SOURCE: 1997 Q45 INFINITY, TROUBLE CODE U3FFF, TCS off

i am not sure were or how you got that code. there are no trouble codes starting with a U or ending with any letter all engine performance codes will start with a P and then 4 numbers all ABS/TCS codes will be only 2 numbers and cant be retrieved with a code reader they must be retrieved by means of a test procedure i can get the procedure for you if you want it i will need your e-mail to send it to because fixya does not have enough space to post it on there sight.

1997 ford escort quit shifting onto overdrive

The OD solenoid in the transmission or the transmission control module is defective. It's also possible the torque converter clutch plates are worn. That's where over drive comes from

2002 Q45 infiniti Cranks but won't start

I am having the same issue on my 2002 Q45, most people that have had this problem have replaced the Starter Solenoid - You dont need to replace the whole starter, unless you have alot of miles. I ordered the part and I am going to try and install it this weekend. Almost everyone with this problem said that after replacing the solenoid the problem went away. Either do it yourself or have an independent mechanic do this, the dealer wants $900 for replacing the starter parts and labor. Solenoid is about 92 bucks online OEM.

Security on. car wont crank. can trun key wont

verify that you have a fully charge battery and that you have the same amount of voltage at the battery as at the starter when the key is turned to the start position. If not repair fault at positive cable either at battery or at starter. If voltage checks good. Use a remote starter and turn key to the on position and try to crank over engine with remote starter. if engine cranks over. You have a defective starter solenoid and starter must be replaced.

1997 ford taurus 3.0 ltr trans wont shift into overdrive. first thrugh third gears shift fine but it doesnt try to shift into overdrive at all. the trans shows no signs of slipping and the fluid looks...

Solenoid pack in trans. Position module,is just that. Wrong guess. What tran model do you have? You also have other sensors to consider but have to know the trans your working on and the computer and shift stratagy involved to solve this,even if your throwing parts at it.
