tryin to help my old boss out with a 04 Legacy that he has sold as soon as we get the tranny to shift to 4th gear. Got a Line pressure B code on it. I think the solenoid pooped itself and needs to be replaced, but he is hesistant to change it.

 

Anyone else ran into any problems like this where u dont have 4th gear on a automatic? If so what was the solution to the problem?

 

I know on Ford cars when you suddenly lose reverse or 4th gear its shift solenoid A that shorted out or stays open. Is this similar in import autos too?

 

I tested the harness connector on top of the transmission and the red/yellow wire (supposedly the pressure soleniod wire) is very very dim with a test light, when the rest of the stuff lights up bright.

 

Thanks in advance
