25 June 2025 | Leave a comment Automatic transmission solenoid valve N88 Purpose: * Controls the flow of transmission fluid in an automatic transmission (AT). * Regulates the pressure and direction of fluid flow in the torque converter and clutch packs. Working principle: * When electric current is applied to the valve, the coil inside the valve creates a magnetic field. * This magnetic field opens or closes the valve, allowing or blocking the flow of liquid. * The opening or closing of the valve is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the automatic transmission. Types: * Torque converter pressure valve * Pressure relief valve * Shift control valve Location: The N88 automatic transmission solenoid valve is usually located in the automatic transmission housing or on the valve body. Errors and symptoms of malfunction: * N88 valve related fault codes * Slipping or delay when shifting gears * Transmission fluid leaks * Automatic transmission overheating Causes of malfunction: * Worn or dirty valve * Coil failure * Electrical problems (such as faulty wiring) Replacement: *Special equipment and technical knowledge are required to replace the N88 automatic transmission solenoid valve. * It is recommended that you have the valve serviced or replaced by a qualified automatic transmission mechanic. Maintenance: *Change your transmission fluid and filter regularly to prevent debris and contaminants from accumulating. * Use transmission fluid recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. * Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for automatic transmission maintenance intervals.
